Identity Politics and trans trnders
-
Because she was trans, she couldn't use the girls' bathroom. She was give the keycard to the staff bathrooms, as was the real trans girl. She refused and demanded that she had to use the boys' bathroom. She was told NO, but she did it anyway. This lead to the photo being taken and the rest is history.
Do you have a source for that? All I'm seeing is this:
http://www.dailywire.com/news/4412/girl-uses-boys-bathroom-bad-things-happen-next-amanda-prestigiacomoHow can you support this kind of shit, especially when it harms a real trans girl?!
Nobody supports dumb students - or at least if they don't know what you are claiming this kid caused.
This is, what, one in hundreds of thousands of young trans people around America? Is it supposed to change anything? What about all the the trans people that have been using their preferred toilet for years now before Republicans started trying to stop it?

I'm not an SJW. I'm not conservative. I'm nothing. I'm me with my own opinions as a gay black man who is hated in this world.
Who am I to say that person is wrong.
My brain is wired to like dick instead of vagina.
So who am I to judge someone who's brain is wired to hate their genitalia and gender roles and feels they are the wrong gender?
But you should be entitled to your opinion. People down voting is stupid.

Elliot Cope is a high school student who claimed that she was a f2m trans person. But that's not were it ended, though. Since she never presented as a boy and refused to participate in PE activities she had to add that she was a trans boy who wanted to be a girl.
Let's recap that bit. She's a girl who wants to be a boy who wants to be a girl.
I found a video of Elliot's dad.. or mom…

http://www.dailywire.com/news/4412/girl-uses-boys-bathroom-bad-things-happen-next-amanda-prestigiacomoSHE couldn't use the girls' bathroom, as in she refused to use it because she is "trans". The school gave her a keycard to use the staff bathroom, like they did with the actual trans m2f student. She would only accept using the boys' bothroom, which is why people know who she is.

If you noticed, I am only slagging off this attention seeking "gender trender". I have no issues with real trans people. I truly respect people like Skylar and Blair White for making their transition and the issues they face public.

Did you even try to google this? Clearly others googled it and found a link.

What was the point of this post then? Why was one trans person 'real' and the other presumably wasn't?

Look at that picture. She presents as a girl, not a boy.
Let's recap, she is a girl, who claims to be trans boy, who identifies as a girl.
That is her mental gymnastics so she can keep being a girly girl and still seek attention.
Blaire White is a trans female. She is not a trans female who identifies as being a boy. Likewise, but the opposite, for Skylar.
Since you're butt hurt that I mentioned only 1 freak, are you demanding that I make a thread for the various attention whores who are playing at being trans?

I never understood why gay people get lumped together with lesbians, trans, etc. Why would a gay person want to be associated with lesbians.. or trans?
There are so many variations which are quite distinct even amongst "trans"
1. men in drag as a fetish (who ironically usually identify as straight)
2. drag queens (such as DIVINE aka Harris Glenn Milstead) who mainly only do drag in performances
3. guys who have breast implants and perhaps take hormones
4. guys who have multiple surgeries - sometimes involving having their penis made into a vagina (whom are typically crazy)
5. guys born with both a biological penis and vagina
6. Justin Bieber
7. guys born with a deformed penis that is surgically transformed into a vagina as a baby
and other variations - all with quite different and distinct mindsets.It's interesting that DIVINE (Milstead) desperately wanted to get acting MALE acting roles and did a few times. In fact, the day he died, he did not show up on the set of the very popular TV show "Married With Children". Milstead was to Peg Bundy's uncle Otto on "Married With Children". Milstead considered himself to be a gay male.
There are many other affectations which have no particular significance, many of which I don't fully understand.
1. Earrings (perhaps signifying that they are promiscuous?)
2. Smoking (oral fixation?)
3. Facial hair (perhaps hiding their gayness?)
4. Thumb rings (a mystery to me)
5. Other random jewelry
6. Various jelly or beaded bracelets of various colors
7. Handkerchiefs (this one involved dozens of colors, and designs, and whether they were in the left or right back pocket)The point I'm getting at is that society likes to stereotype people and make them into an "ISM" which is no different than another form of bias.

How does that picture make it true that she identifies as female and not male?
-
LOL, the mental gymnastic needed to even ask that question.
Watch the various interviews, she's not masculine in the slightest and her clothes are also feminine.
Why would an openly trans boy wear girls' clothes on a daily basis?!
You're right. Maybe she's a trans boy cross dresser.
OR, maybe she's the girly girl she always presents as, and not actually trans anything.

Well you can pretty much forget about this.
This is not gonna happen, as clearly this forum is not accepting of trans people.
Which is why we as gay men are never gonna improve by the way.

I haven't seen anyone be anti trans people.
What I have seen is people be anti "look at me, I'm pretending to be trans" people.

Well, Domosuke, regardless…one’s personal “feeling” towards transgender people has no bearing on what really needs to be resolved--it shouldn't anyway. Same with the comments and results at my forum post and poll requesting/suggesting the category rename–opinions specific to my choice.
None of that should matter.
Renaming the particular category is something the site should be addressing anyway--“Shemale”--a term deemed no longer fitting.
“Defamatory: "tranny," "she-male," "he/she," "it," "shim"
These words dehumanize transgender people and should not be used in mainstream media. The criteria for using these derogatory terms should be the same as those applied to vulgar epithets used to target other groups: they should not be used except in a direct quote that reveals the bias of the person quoted. So that such words are not given credibility in the media, it is preferred that reporters say, "The person used a derogatory word for a transgender person." Please note that while some transgender people may use "tranny" to describe themselves, others find it extremely offensive.” - GLAAD Media Reference Guide - Transgender - http://www.glaad.org/reference/transgenderConsider these two current category names as examples–“Black” and “Asian”--I’m pretty sure “Negro” and “Oriental” wouldn’t go over too well.

I was one of the main supporters on that thread to get the "Shemale" category changed. I voted to change the name.
You and I both were shunned to kingdom come for that.
The thread then went cold sadly, and it's assumed for the most part the operations of this forum have no interest to change it at this time, and it's sad, but what can you do?
-
I also agreed with a name change.
However, "shemale" has long been a specific type of porn so I can see why some people might be against a change.

A couple of questions for you:
Why do you care?
What does it matter?
What does this teen's gender identity materially impact in anyone's day to day life? -
Because it's shit like this that causes places like NYC, Canada and others to punish people and businesses for accidentally misgendering someone. NYC, for example, punishes businesses $125,000 each time they accidentally misgender a person, and $250,000 each time if it was on purpose. How the fuck is anyone supposed to guess that this girly girl claims she's a boy?
See above. Also, it has caused problems at the same school for the real trans person.
Again, see above.

Identity politics are cancer.
They tend to reduce people to one specific element of their being, erasing all others. Playing the game of identity politics always ends in something that is rapidly spiraling out of control, it never gets better, it only gets worse.
I've seen people bash transgenders, because they didn't subscribe to the mindset, apparently you can only call yourself a transgender these days if you have the correct social and political views, if you deviate you get branded a traitor to the cause. It's something we can see all over the place, the most obvious examples are all the sites out there who run opinion pieces on how we should consider certain people as people, because they have a differing political view.
You cannot and shouldn't reduce people to one characteristic, it's demeaning and it sends the wrong signal.
You can be gay and vote for Trump, you can be transgender and be conservative, you can be a woman and play videogames. One element is not the be-all end-all of your identity.
