Public Opinion on Transgender Persons

[Kelinfort]

A transgender person once looked at me. I just can't even

Why? Because "there are creepy"?

They're...just being so...AGGRESSIVE man...

Again, why?

[Ceffyltir]

I have no problem with them as long as they aren't aggressive about it.

How ... what is ... define "aggressive."

Waving the fact that they are transgendered in others' faces at every opportunity, becoming upset if the word "man" is used rather than something more "inoffensive" like "person," etc. I'm not saying all transgendered people are like that (far from it), but I've met more than a couple.

And Jesus Christ, you people (as in the people who angrily/sarcastically responded to me, not "you people" as in transgendered persons) need to calm down. I post a single sentence - and it wasn't even offensive - and all of a sudden I'm a goddamn monster.

Hint: I'm being sarcastic.

I voted "no problem", mostly because I AM transgendered.

Maybe its because she/they want to be accepted as the gender she/they is.

Ahhh... okay c:

Obviously. That doesn't mean the way they're going about it isn't wrong.

To be honest you have a point. There's a fine line between pride and going overkill.

It is very disrespectful and not accepting a person in the way the person wants to be accepted.

Do you realize that?

I never said I didn't accept that transgendered persons are the genders they want to be. I said that it's wrong to aggressively attack those around you because of it.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Was it scary? To get looked at?

I have triggers whenever I see eyes now

Wait...is that a smiley..? OMG TRIGGER-

So fierce!!!

Unless it's Tumblr, where would that happen?

Remember Nana, most denizens of the Internet aren't used to human interaction beyond text on a screen.

I guess my attempt at joking was missed.

You need a new sarcasm detector Nana.

It is of course not good if a person response aggressive, BUT you are also be wrong with calling a transgender person to a gender what in this case she/they not want to be referenced with.

That's what I get for buying cheap batteries.

Inexhaustible source.

[Jormengand]

So what's you point?

That people who say "Transpeople shouldn't turn into stereotypical die-cis-scum tumblrites just because some cis people are jerks" are entirely correct and should not be accused of being transphobic.

Exactly, and in massive supply where I live.

The question isn't where would it happen, it's where can it happen, which is everywhere if one has the gall to do it. I've witnessed it twice in high school, once in college, in a grocery store, and I'm willing to bet that it's happened countless times right here on NS.

As I told early already, violence should be never accepted. However, its also not good if you call a trans* person by his/her/they gender what they not want to be referenced with.
