I'm not... never said that...

Then you have no business comparing your prejudice to transsexualism or homosexuality. They are not the same.

So which is it? Are you naturally, organically, unfond of homosexuals and transsexuals or are you prejudiced towards them?

You.


you have clearly no idea of what i try to say... i advise you to go on with your ideas but don't bother me with them...


You're trying to say that you're not prejudiced, you just feel uncomfortable around certain minority groups.

The silly thing is, if he just came out and said, "I am prejudiced, I'm not proud of this fact, and I will try to correct it." I would not only be okay with it, I would applaud him for his honesty and courage. Most people are a bit prejudiced against one or another group. In and of itself this is not shameful, merely a common human failing, but to ignore it... to do nothing about it? That is shameful.

Of course, trans women are actual women.

We're asking which he means.

Not necessarily.

Self-identification and phenotype isn't the be-all end-all of womanhood.


You're right.

It's just self identification.

A uterus.

At least, for me. If you can get past that, more power to you.


So women who've had hysterectomies aren't women now?

But wait right of course, I forgot we're just baby making factories.

That's the thing.

We all have prejudices. I have prejudices, you have prejudices. We all do. I acknowledge them, question them, and try to act on doing something about them.

Acknowledging prejudices and refusing to do anything about them is bad. Refusing to even acknowledge them despite clear evidence of their existence is just fucked up.
