How about something simple like anti-trans or something? Why did they come up with such a hard word to pronounce and look at in a pleased manner?

Simplicity must be too much to ask for these days.

The harder a word is to pronounce and look at the more superior the people who use it feel

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

Totally agree Hyke.  Having to put these things in little pigeon holes makes my brain hurt.  Even the word 'trans' is something i try not to use.
I think of Soph as a boy,  and then suddenly he will say "but i am trans"   -  it is not always helpful to categorize!


I say trans a lot though because I AM trans. I am a boy, but I am also trans. I mean I identify as just a guy, not a trans guy, but that doesn't change the fact that I AM a trans guy, and that comes up a lot in discussions, whther it's about relationships or medical issues or whatever. If my being trans isn't relevant then I don't think I even mention it unless I'm makign some kind of joke

I mean I don't think I would ever say "but I am trans" in response to someone calling me a guy, because I see myself as a guy anyway

I can't remember where, but i think one was when eclair was asking for willy pics - i think you said it then.  Obviously it weren't just
those words,  there was a proper sentence of some kind.   

I just think of you as a bloke  :dunno:  I dont think trans is a nice word somehow
i am not talking of definitions - just the actual sound of the word.

If i was 'trans' i would complain about that word

The topic is about botty-burp... Don't participate in such a discussion if you don't want to hear the word. Getting annoyed by it is one thing, but needlessly subjecting yourself to it is a lack of common sense. It's not like I'm complaining about it in other threads.

I hate pretentious words and feel most of the time people use them in order to feel superior. 

As to the original topic  :deadhorse:  I think nothing more can be said to change anyone's mind.

Mind you I have my dead horses I like to beat but this is just silly
