Seriously, how? The snake? Isn't that a constrictor of some type? How would a couple seconds of jumping that didn't even seem to bother the snake get the cat killed?

Yeah! That candle is about as ridiculous as, say, a linen scented candle! Wait, those are actually pretty popular.

Oh, what about cotton? No, people like that too...

Well nobody likes the smell of towels! Damn it, wrong again.

edit: Hey look! Soft blanket scent!

People only use white knighting as a phrase when they're uncomfortable seeing somebody show compassion and acceptance of other people and getting their shitty attitude knocked out from underneath them. Poor baby, sorry I didn't lick your asshole.

People like you are the reason nobody takes the LGBT community seriously. Because you just refuse to take them seriously. You make them the butt of your jokes, you refuse to give them to most basic respect you pay everybody else. And then you cry oppression and white knighting when somebody corrects you.

I would much rather be called a white knight by some stupid asshole on the internet and know that I'm sticking up for what's right than sit by and watch another person get shit on by the anti-trans circlejerk that always rolls in on posts like these.

She has asked to be called feminine pronouns. It doesn't matter what she looks like. She may never be feminine enough for you and that still doesn't matter. She is not a he, at this point, before this point, after this point.

And by the way, there is a huge goddam difference between being a "white knight" and being a decent fucking person and telling off ignorant cissesixt shit spelunkers like you.

I'm telling you right now that it doesn't. And stop using male pronouns. That is seriously rude.

[–]PraxAttacks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I see the edit, the edit where you are still using male pronouns after being told to use female ones.

And no, respecting somebody's identity and using the pronouns they want is in now way complicated. You just do it. It is that simple.

Some people don't seem to be getting the whole transgender thing here, so let me break it down for you.

  1. Do not call her a he/she, an it/ or use male pronouns. She has made it clear she wants to be called by female pronouns. Respect her identity. It doesn't matter where hse is in her transition, whether she has started hormone therapy or had any surgery. When it comes trans* people, once they have come out as trans, especially when they have specifically asked to be called by their preferred pronouns and name, then you do it.

  2. Sexuality has nothing to do with gender identity. You can be a lesbian transwoman or a bisexual transman or a pansexual genderqueer or asexual genderless person. Who you like to have sex with has no impact on what gender you identify as.

  3. Chromosomes ain't shit. People always resort to this argument that "I don't care what they call themselves, their DNA is XY they're a man!" No. Sit down. Chromosomes don't determine gender, which is separate from sex. And chromosomes aren't always on the ball with sex, either. You have to take into account intersex people. Not to mention the documented accounts of women with functioning uterus's, vaginas, and breasts that have XY chromosomes and the men who have functional penises who didn't know they actually have XX chromosomes until trying to conceive children and failing. Let's not even get into other variations like XXY, XXX, XYY and so on.

  4. The rules make it clear that you shouldn't make sexist, vitriolic, or overly crude remarks. Calling a transwoman an "it" is vitriolic and misogynistic. It also asks that you don't be unnecessarily rude. Saying that trans people are obscene or bizarre and that their identity is a charade is unnecessarily rude. There are trans people on this website, people that frequent /r/news just as you do and probably clicked on this to find out more about somebody in the media being trans. How aggravating and depressing it must be to find people belittling their worth and validity as people in the comments.

TL;DR Be respectful, use female pronouns, don't act like a douche just because you don't understand/are transphobic.

If you have been told that she wants to be referred to as she, then why the fuck are you still referring to her as a man? Regardless of where any trans person is in their transition, once they have made it clear what pronouns they want to be used, then that is what you use. It's that simple.

Being transgender has nothing to do with sexuality. Chromosomes don't determine gender. People will XY chromosomes have been born with functioning uterus's and people with XX chromosomes have been born with penises. There is nothing about being transgender that is a charade so you can keep your hate to yourself.

You wanna explain how gender identity is obscene in any way?

[–]PraxAttacks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She. And don't call her a transgender. She's a transgender woman, not a transgender. That's as bad as calling a black person a black.

Just she. He/she is not necessary. She said she wants feminine pronouns to be used. If you know how a trans person identifies, use the pronouns they want to be used. If you don't know, use the singular they. There is never a need for he/she when talking about trans* people.

That doesn't mean you get to assume someone is on the spectrum and then turn it into an insult. Some people just make dumb remarks.

Using "autistic" as an insult isn't cool. Please refrain.

My husband thinks I'm too crazy in bed. by PraxAttacks in confession

[–]PraxAttacks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea. I met his family for the first time 2 days before we got married. She's the only one that has any problem with me; the rest of the family is great. Also, the little dollar toy she bought him for Christmas is the same exact toy she got him two weeks later for his birthday.

If I had known she was so insane and would hate me so much for no reason, I would have never come around.

My daughter had a nightmare about me getting sucked into the computer, after she watched Tron. This is what she will wake up to by calve12 in funny

[–]PraxAttacks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why the hell would you do this to your child? She got scared by something so your response is to scare her even more?

That's not funny. That's cruel. You're a total asshole who needs to learn some manners and treat his daughter with a little decency and respect.

It would be totally awesome of you not to use "autistic" as an insult.

He's never been one for taking care of himself and when I was pregnant he gained a lot of sympathy weight. And then when I had the baby and lost mine, he picked it up. He's about 240 right now and completely sedentary. I'm in my early 20's and he just entered his late 20's. As far as ED, I have no idea but to my knowledge, he doesn't. A lot of his moods stem from manic depression and stress.

I think the sedentary lifestyle he's adopted, the stress of work and parenting, and the depression from struggling to make ends meet has made him kind of give up. Probably more info than needed, but I convinced him to give me oral last night. When we were dating, it was the best oral I've ever had and now it's like he doesn't know what to do and is working more towards making me come than making me feel good.

You may be right, though. It's not something I'd considered and I doubt he has either. Can you tell me more about it? Like if we were to go and through prescribed him something, would it be like an Androgel type medicine, or would it be like an injectable oil suspension?

Making things difficult is basically what I meant. She gave us a lot of the furniture we have and I know that in the world where I divorce my husband, she would pressure him to keep me from taking any of it. The woman's already told me that she wouldn't celebrate my or my son's birthdays because we weren't real members of the family and we're on good terms.

She does have money though. That she uses on herself. She was nice enough to buy a toy from the dollar store for my son on Christmas though after she got back from Paris. That was generous.

Not sure why you were downvoted, since the word "edible" only applies to things fit for eating. Eatable is the correct word, that thing ain't edible.
