Sorry offtopic, but why ladies and gentlemen and transgenders? That's pretty offensive.

To trigger.

Oh I see, I thought it was your intention to show your support for transgenders lol. It's fun triggering trans people.
-
You misunderstand; my intention was to trigger the bigots who like to pretend transgender people don't exist.
-
Lol got one

Malcolm in the middle pops into my head every time I read you status

I don't understand, actually. There are no transgender people. Either you're male or female. If someone "used to be" (physically) be male and is "now" female, she is female, not transgender. It's not like they changed their gender, they were always female.

Edited by Sapphire: 8/20/2016 3:31:45 PMTartan was trying to be inclusive, though. Just possibly a little uninformed. Trans people want to be referred to as the gender they transitioned to, not as some "transgender" 3rd gender or something.
-
Indeed. I'll be honest, it just popped into my head as I said ladies and gentlemen. Probably should have occurred to me that transgender isn't a third gender, just the state of having transitioned from one to another.
-
No worries, it's the thought that counts :D I'm just glad I didn't offend you by "correcting" you ^-^
-
Actually, that's why I don't understand that weird how many genders are there debate/joke. I have no idea what kind of people want to be referred to as a third gender.
-
Well yes, some people's identities are a little more complicated. Like, some people may identify as "gender fluid." But really, lots of trans people like myself just want to be respected and seen as the opposite gender we were assigned at birth. We don't ask for anything more than that.

I'm sorry, but gender fluid sounds really -blam!-ing stupid

Edited by Sapphire: 8/20/2016 4:38:16 PMI don't fully understand how it is to feel how they do, but I'll respect them just like how I'd want to be respected. If someone isn't an asshole, I'll respect them no matter what they think or believe ^_^ You can be a cis white straight Christian male or a black Satanist pansexual gender fluid person -- just don't be mean :)
-
Yeah, I agree.
-
Exactly what I meant.
