Lord, mental illness is REAL and society is cosigning. @Robby:

No, you're absolutely being a bigot.

I don't see myself as a bigot. I see myself as a rational young man who is trying to make sense of what the hell is going on. I feel like I've been 100% polite and respectful this entire time.

That you don't understand it or you're uninformed ain't an excuse now, plenty of people have explained it to you, and you continue to take the path of most insulting and least understanding about people that are different than you and blatantly refuse to even attempt to change your mind.

I don't have a problem with your difference of opinion but you visibly have a problem with mine which makes you the bigot here. Why would I change my mind based on a biased pro-trans propaganda article?

So yes, you ARE a bigot.

That is literally my face when I hear about 99% of the times that word is used. It's a laughable term at this point. It's losing its power and has become a joke. It's funny that people aren't allowed to be skeptical of the trans movement without being immediately dismissed as a bigot. I really don't care what you call me. Being called "prejudiced" or "bigoted" are the least of my worries. @DemonRin:

Oh, I see. You're one of those types. Nothing I Say no facts or information I give you will sway you.

You can't switch xx and xy on and off. It's scientific fact and always will be. At the end of the day, you'll be the ones that have to accept this eventually, not me or anyone else. No matter how badly you want yo believe you're a woman, the natural laws of biology and genetics will win every single time. Deny it. It doesn't matter. Take hormones, surgically alter your looks. It doesn't matter. Natural laws will always prevail. If I decide you're my husband, are you going to go along with it and send me your paycheck? Sistagirl, I needs cash,so you know…if we're all gonna play pretend, I might as well profit from it.

I hope it pisses Horizon off to know I use the bathroom several times a day (Caffeine…) While at work while out and about. Because of work I've done it probably 100s of times over this past year alone.Nothing bad happens, I just go in and do my business and leave, nobody even hassles me or calls me out despite being pretty ugly tbh, I just exist and live my life without issue.I hope that pisses you off.

I don't care what you do. @Monkey:

Hey while we're in the neighborhood of arguing from "Grandma's Chain Email" moral panics and pretending we're arguing noble sensible stuff, why are you not also freaking out that children share bathrooms with adults.

I wouldn't wouldn't allow my sons to go into the mens bathroom by themselves for fear of Pervy men. Now these pervy men are able to call themselves "women" and go into the ladies room as well. Nope. Nope. Nope. You can call me bigoted all you like but I refuse to be so open minded that my brains fall out or someone & their kids wind up dead in a ditch somewhere. Y'all can miss me with this foolishness. @Below:

And neither of them are as noisy and entitled as you

I do not care to challenge your points. You have your beliefs that I do not care to change and I have mine. If pointing out the obvious is noisy and entitled then so be it. Name calling does not hurt me nor does it invalidate anything I said. @wolfwood:

Being afraid that transgendered people will start assaulting people en masse if given equal bathroom privileges ranks pretty high on my weird fears list. Like this was some kind of common thing, the ol' lipstick and wig rape. Jesus christ people can really get amped up about highly unlikely scenarios.

My original post was never about Transfolk to begin with. @Noqanky:

Omg this Horizon SoBI wish you never have to deal with the pain and suffering and struggle that all the people you are insulting today have had to deal with, becausein a fair world that would immediately shut you the fuck up. Then you can talk about who is being an entitled little bitch.

Yep. This is a great example of how you Trans-apologists behave in general. If you don't agree with everything you get insulted and then silenced. Anytime your opinion doesn't align with theirs then you are a bigot. It's unsettling to think that you can force your views on people. @Fuschiawarrior:

Gender is way more than just sexual chromosomes. If someone has XY but for some reason their bodies don't produce testosterone, their genitalia would be pretty much a vulva. I know it is a CRACKED article, but you should read it.

Intersex people are not trans and are in no way comparable.

@Outerspec:

Why are transwomen an issue but not transmen?

Aside from the fact that there aren't that many of them, Transmen aren't 1% as noisy and entitled as Transwomen. We barely hear about Transmen. They generally don't make a big deal of the bathroom issue. @DemonRin:

I'm just gonnaleave this here for right now

My opinion remains unchanged. I can't respond to the article to I guess I'll wait for your response if you ever get to it.

I'm a woman, end of story

Those xy chromosomes say otherwise but I digress.

I don't have time for bigotry today.

None of my posts contain any bigotry. Interestingly enough, according to the definition, this quote is bigotry.

This story is blowing up right now:Tape released of Trump's extremely lewd and sexist comments on sexually predating on women from 2005

Yikes. You would think that this would turn some women off from him but then I go on Twitter and see his stans cape for him or ignore it completly , as usual.[quote=Robby

@Robby:

Most bathrooms have stalls. If you're looking at the equipment someone has in there, YOU'RE the pervert.

Because there are stalls, no woman has the right to feel uncomfortable with a dick in their bathroom? Why does everyone else's feelings have to be put on a back burner when compared to trans?

There is literally zero cases of "fake" trans men going into women's bathrooms to harass women. It was a completely made up from nothing scare that doesn't actually exist,

http://cnews.canoe.com/CNEWS/Canada/2014/02/15/21473641.html

Most trans people look and dress according to the gender they want to be, and generally you're really not going to know.

Yes you would. Most Transwomen do not pass for women. Trans men are not an issue at all so I'd rather not involve them.

@Jabberwork:

It's really, really not. It's just a non-issue stirred up by fear-mongering Republicans to feed their anti-LGBT agenda.

It may have started out that way but now that I've given it a second thought, I agree with them on this. There are many women who aren't anti-trans that have expressed disagreement. Their concerns are legitimate.

The idea that men are going into women's bathrooms and molesting or taking little girls is entirely made up. There's no indication this is a trend at all.

I think you mean men pretending to be trans because there are numerous cases of women being attacked or harassed in bathrooms. But even so, the point isn't that the new trans push to use whatever bathroom will somehow create this so-called new phenomenon. The point is with the new push for trans people to use the bathrooms of the gender they identity as, cases like this will pop up even more because of perverted men who have never "felt" like a woman" (whatever that shit means) will throw on a wig under the guise of being trans & harm innocent women/girls. Shit, they don't even need to throw on a wig and will be able to dead ass walk into the women restroom just because they allegedly "identify" as a woman. The new trans push for bathrooms coupled with the fact that the question of,"what exactly is trans" has never been specified or answered will basically make it easier for creeps to harm/harass women/girls. It wouldn't be crazy to expect a spike on harassment reports and even worse, attacks/violations against women as a result.

It's simply an excuse conservatives have made up to cover their discrimination against a group of people they don't understand.

I wouldn't call it discrimination since the people in question aren't actually women.

Frankly, most trans people present themselves as the sex and gender they identify with

Which what? Putting on makeup, a wig, and a dress or not dressing up stereotypically as female (for transmen)? Anyone can do that.

It'd cause more of a stir in bathrooms if people looking like men were forced to use the women's bathroom because the government classified them as female.

How? Regardless of what they look like they're still women at the end of the day.

@Kaiolino:

Demon Rin is a woman. She feels like a woman. She looks like a woman. Why should she have to go to a men's bathroom?

I don't think she should be forced to use the mens bathroom, but gender neutral bathrooms should be compromised. Allowing anyone who claims to be trans into womens bathrooms is a slippery slope.

@Demon:

• Ban me from using the bathroom in public punishable by jail time as "Trespassing" just like North Carolina's HB2.

I agree that the other stuff that Trump/Pence would get banned would be bad, but not this. No offence, but men should not be allowed to freely walk in and out of womens restroom under any circumstance.

@Phoenix:

Yeah and? It's still an extremely lame way to end that fight.

Looks like you were hoping for some generic shonen-esque ending. You're forgetting what series you're reading.

Doesn't help that Cracker jumped right into the attack.

He didn't. No one could have predicted that Luffy would have sucked him into his stomach.

The last time we saw him he speed blitzed Gear 4 Luffy and now after 11 hours he somehow can't stop Nami.

He never "blitzed" anyone. Last I recall, he attacked Luffy right in the middle of Luffy fighting his soldiers and Luffy dodged that.

Even if that does end up happening, when humans finally go extinct, I wouldn't be surprised if it was by our own doing.

@sgamer82:

Probably closer to it than atheist, but the distinction as I understand it is that where an atheist actively denies God's existence, agnostics presume that God is unknowable to humans but are willing to acknowledge He's there. As an apatheist, the question is irrelevant either way to me, since God's existence, or lack of, changes nothing. I tend to think of a Discworld quote with this matter. To paraphrase: "Atheists think about God all the time, albeit in terms of denial. If one truly did not believe, they wouldn't bother to deny."

Atheists lack belief in a God. We don't actively deny its existence. God is almost never on my mind. We simply don't believe in it. Someone who's agnostic does not acknowledge or disacknowledge the existence of a God. Both atheists and agnostics are willing to acknowledge Gods existence but only if there's reasonable evidence.

@AfroSamurai:

See, I don't agree. My understanding of race has always been biological. Culture is not biologically ingrained, so I'm not taking it into account when I consider 'racism'. Please direct me to the 'dictionary definition' that equates culture and race please, I'm going to be pretty shocked if you're right.

Race is a social construct. It is not biological. You cannot tell someone "race" from DNA. "Race" is a flexible concept. Many countries/cultures have their own interpretation of it.
