@Demon:

That's surprising given your continued use of male pronouns to refer to her.

I'm sorry if seeing news about trans people existing is an inconvenience to you, we just want to live without being ridiculed and sometimes killed. Visibility helps that because it shows people we are normal everyday people just like everybody else. If we hide and don't educate anyone, then we will still be treated like a strange and odd thing which is very bad for us.

That's not a matter of respect it's a matter of not being used to it, the entire things a process and I doubt that people will ever be able to completely switch the way they've always referred to something/someone on a dime.
Never in my life have I ever held ill will towards any group of people, maybe it's because surprisingly my Great Grandmother was never transphobic or homophobic or racist so I was always like "it is what it is and doesn't effect me" but I like many other people sometimes slip up when I try to refer to the gender of a transgender individual which i've done a few times with Caitlyn and it's not a matter of ill will it's a matter of adjustment.
Now I'm not trying to tell you to go easy on transphobic people because I never have when in discussions with them but if someones earnestly trying to get it right I'd try to give them some leeway which is what I tend to do when talking to non black individuals on race related issues.
Though i'm positive that the climate is much much worse in many ways for transgender individuals like yourself so if I was in your position there's no telling how i'd react.
Not that you're reacting badly at all.

This isn't a filler chapter it's a typical climax chapter with way too much stuff before it that sets up the final fight essentially being a collloseum bout.

@Cyan:

! The show is handling the actual main plot soooo much better than the books it's not even funny.

What do you mean by the main plot?
Because I'm pretty sure just having a big battle with the White Walkers doesn't mean they handled the rest of the Wall stuff better.

Alice Allen is just so good.

I see a lot of claims from them about racism in gay organizations, what are gay people doing for us? Hating on gay black men for being emasculated/apparently embracing their gay identity more than their identity as a black person, that we should focus on us, that the media is over representing them and fixing them down our throats, that they only put gay/feminine/transgender black males on tv to emasculate us and that things like Tyler Perry is part of it, being "down low" and spreading aids among other things but this is just among other things.
It's pretty sad.

@project1980:

Nothing awkward about the gay subject it's true. Black churches might be the real source behind this because they treat homosexuality like the boogie man towards their congregation. Pretty sure white supremacy is not using Young Thug to destroy the black community.

Nah it's not awkward for me to talk about I just didn't want to be seen as one of the people I described.

@Green_vs_Red:

People with nothing else better to do but to show how ignorant and intolerant they are…...and when they aren't complaining about blacks or women having some sort of agenda as well.

But if you want more rational and even funny comments regarding people who oppose gay marriage

I feel awkward saying this one because I'm black and two because it's generally always a deflection from white people not wanting to acknowledge some form of racism or to try to absolve themselves of some crime they think someone is trying to put on them like when they say "B-b-but black people had slaves too!!!!" But there's a decent portion of minorities who push the gay agenda crap too.
There's a site I use that I've mentioned on here before that's predominately black males and I've seen that a lot of them believe that the gay agenda is a tool of white supremacy to further emasculate black males or to further "pussify" America and stop them from saying faggot which is just one aspect of the homophobia I see on there.

@wolfwood:

That commentary section is one of the most depressing things i've read all week.

Who honestly throws around things like the "Gay agenda"?

People who think that the acceptance of gays somehow negatively effects them or represents something that is negative.

@omy785:

How is Bellamy more likely to join? Luffy just pity him (like all of the readers, because he's a bag of poop that got his ass kicked every time he appeared), but that doesn't mean he's gonna join…

1. There's a decent amount of Bellamy fans, me included.
2. Unlike Bartolomeo he's actually connected with the protagonist, has backstory potential, doesn't have a crew, and isn't a Cavendish parallel.
   And where did I say that means he's going to join? I said he's more likely but I'm sure he won't.
