A thought provoking thought on transgenderism
So I have been thinking, why should transgendered people have the right to change the society we live in today just because they feel "oppressed?" Why are their feelings valued more than the feelings of those who dislike them? How can you consider catering to one human being over another because they cried oppression? Does a person's feeling alone of self identification validate a claimed "oppressive" force in society? Explain why you feel the way you do.
Just food for thought.

2 RepliesThat's more a thought on "who is selfish?" It applies to a lot of things. Take the suicide thing for example, people say, "It's selfish to commit suicide!" but then "It's selfish for you to want someone to stick around being miserable for your own sake because it'll hurt you if they're gone." Selfishness goes all around.

I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I'm -blam!-ing retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me "Apache" and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can't accept me you're a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

Treat them like I would any person. Get to know them then judge what they are like bases on my interactions.

Nothing should have to change. Just let people do what they need to do in order to feel comfortable and that's that.

3 RepliesNot being given special treatment is not the same as being oppressed, neither is being ignored when no active crime is taking place. And no, people thinking they are weird or insulting them does not constitute legal interference. You cannot force a social change with law without violating the rights of others. Those things take time, something people don't seem to want to accept with the toxic entitlement culture of today.

7 RepliesBecause it's going over human rights, your's end where it starts inhibiting others. They don't have the rights to affect others and vice versa, nothing the community is doing SHOULD be inhibiting on other individuals in a direct fashion.

1 ReplyThis is an interesting subject. I think about schools that allow guys/girls to use the locker rooms/bathrooms according to how they feel, or the gender they identify with. I think this is completely wrong. The school should try to accommodate the transgender student, but not at the expense of all the other students. Basing any policy off anyone's "feelings" is dumb and also completely relative. Its also people confusing the difference between negative and positive rights.

1 ReplyEdited by Tuxx: 2/5/2015 6:49:19 PMWe're all humans, whether we're gay, straight, or transgendered. It isn't about one group's power over another. Regarding other people's feelings, why should how somebody else feels or their attitude toward something have an effect on another human's life in a way that detriments said oppressed human's life in some way? For example, not offering them the same rights that the oppressor has? The way I see it, every right you have to be happy should be shared amongst all humans. If you were/are oppressed in a way that interferes with your happiness and rights as a person because someone else [i]feels[/i] like what you're doing is wrong even though it hurts them in no way, I think that is completely wrong of the oppressor. Just my thoughts regarding transgendered peoples, and related subjects.

5 RepliesBecause what they're working towards is being treated as a human being. By that selfsame logic you espouse, then slavery should still be legal, and women shouldn't be allowed to do anything besides be trophy wives, with no rights. Society is inherently prejudiced and broken, and as such, things need to change.
