Don't be silly. I'm an attack helicopter.
I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I'm fucking retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me "Apache" and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can't accept me you're a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

Hey, look a positive article on trans issues that isn't hating on religion either

You clearly seem to have not read the entire article, only the title.
Also, here's how it's possible

I did read the entire article. The article seems not to attack religion on a whole wide spectrum, if I'm getting it tight.

No, I still don't see how.

Yeah, that's what I meant. It's not attacking religion, actually it's even defending it.
And the point I was making was that it's a common copypasta, or in other words, a widespread internet joke.

Any comprehensive article on trans issues and the roadblocks facing trans rights and respect would have to mention religion in a negative light because religious texts and religious leaders are sort of a problem.
Are these "human rights" in the room with us right now?

Apparently not, from what I read in the article. Most Christian denominations don't have any problems with trans people already.

If you believe that I've got an excellent investment opportunity for you. You just have to get a few friends to invest also. Fancy a timeshare while you're at it?

I don't believe that, it's stated explicitly in the article, with proof linked to it.

Have you considered moving to somewhere with free healthcare? I'd make a joke suggestion, but it doesn't seem right.

Can't afford that either. All I have is the tenner dad gave me for "milk and things" and a couple of quarters.
I know like with Canada you can't get free healthcare until you're considered a permanent resident, which takes 15-24 months.

You're fine - you know now not to do that again.

Trollnaming became a thing when people started using it as an ad hominem to discredit the opposition [much like saying my opponent is a SOCIALIST :eek: !

As a result, it is obvious when someone is trolling - and most people will get that, so there's no need to call them out for it, the best option is to just not reply, and ignore them. If you give them a reaction, they will only continue - so don't feed them.

I didn't like the constant reference to "changing genders", and while I understand calling out death threats against Leelah's parents, it came across like the author was also calling out every condemnation of them ever.
