Just a few random points as I can't be arsed quoting and addressing people specifically:
Bint's post(s?) about your kids was obviously fucked up and wrong, but she's accepted that and admited that herself. That post to me about me being trans though wasn't just aimed at me, it was towards a group of people as a whole. I'm not saying it was worse than attacking someone's child (as I don't think much that can be said on the internet is worse than that), but it's more relevant to this discussion than that post about your kid, as it was transphobia.
I mean there have been plenty of times on here where I've deserved to be attacked for being an asshole, but surely I deserve to be attacked for ME, not for what I am? Because that isn't just directed at me then - it's directed at a lot of other people too
For example if I was black and I was being a dickhead, would people start throwing racist abuse at me? Or anti-Jewish insults if I was Jewish? imo that would be wrong. Attacking me, my views, my posts, my actions etc is obviously fine, but I think attackign someone for being trans just makes you look weak
As for other people's definitions, people can define things however they like. I agree with Kayleigh that people should refer to someone as he or she depending on what that person identifies as, but that's just my opinion. If people wanna call me she, then they obviously have the right to. I must admit I do wonder
why a lot of people still refer to me as she, but I'm not gonna insist people do otherwise, and I hope I never resort to asking people to call me he, as I'd feel like a bit of a pussy if I did that (not saying there's anything wrong with other people doing that tho).
About the video, yeah people are indifferent and won't get involved in someone getting beated up a lot, whether trans or not. So as shitty as it is, I'm not really interested in discussing the video much, although the comments by the person who filmed it say a lot
Also just wanna say i think renaeden is being really great about this by now calling GA she instead of he. I can't imagine what it must be lie to go through something like this, and is one of the reasons I'm glad I accepted being trans fairly early on in life, although I doubt I'd have ever got into a relationship anyway, but you never know.
And yeah my first account on here was 100% emo, embarrrassing to see my old posts
I still have my emo moments but I try to keep it to the minimum, and I think a lot of us get emo sometimes really
