Hey LGBTQ+ Pandas, How Do I Make Myself More Approachable To People Who Are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Or Transgender? (Closed)

By saying what you do, you're pushing the idea that all women should be masculine and all men should be feminine. And that anything else is enforcing gender roles and therefore taboo. This is not feminism. Feminism pushes for freedom of expression and equality in expression. This is not feminism. This is transphobia being hidden by a false perception of what feminism is. Just say you're transphobic. Don't act like you're advocating for women's rights, because you're really not. If you were you'd be advocating for transgender women as well. I know you mean well. And I appreciate it. But sincerely, your actions only hurt people. They don't help.

Hey LGBTQ+ Pandas, How Do I Make Myself More Approachable To People Who Are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Or Transgender? (Closed)

You preach about how people always misgender you, yet you're out here doing the exact same thing on a much larger scale. I am a trans man. I prefer clothing traditionally defined as masculine. I don't give a sht about tradition, I care about my comfort. I don't like dresses, or makeup. I'm not pushing stereotypes of what it means to be a man, I'm pushing the narrative that no matter your gender your expression has nothing to do with it. You always ignore when I bring up masculine trans women, and feminine trans men. And nonbinary people who exist on both sides. You do this on purpose, because you know it completely breaks whatever stereotypes you enforce in your brain. I hold no grudges against you, and I truly think you mean well. But your anger is misdirected. You should be calling out the people trying to push stereotypes and not the ones that are simply fine with living inside and outside of said stereotypes.

Hey LGBTQ+ Pandas, How Do I Make Myself More Approachable To People Who Are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Or Transgender? (Closed)

Oza when will you realize you're blaming the wrong people? Toxic masculinity vs being transgender are two entirely different things. People WANT to transition, because it makes them HAPPY. The point of feminism is to make it so everyone is equal and so that there's no such thing as a man in a dress being controversial, or a masculine woman. I fully agree with that sentiment. But that does not mean trans women who prefer dresses and makeup over camo and boots are pushing stereotypes. I believe you're confused on this because you don't see trans women as women. But in reality, a feminine cisgender woman simply existing in her favorite choice of clothing wouldn't be seen as pushing stereotypes. Only is she pushing stereotypes when she says women have to be feminine like her. Trans people are victims of socially constructed gender, not sexism. And frankly, you're one of the perpetrators.

Hey Pandas! What's Your Experience When You Or Someone You Know Got Institutionalized Or Committed? (Closed)

Outpatient is used to re-adjust people who just got out of a pysch ward to life again. Like a stepping stone. Honestly I don't know what the hell they were thinking. I can't help but ask, did they tell you their thought process behind that decision or was it really that they were full? Hospitals can be shallow like that, too embarrassed to say they have no beds available.

Hey Pandas! What's Your Experience When You Or Someone You Know Got Institutionalized Or Committed? (Closed)

Wow. You absolutely should sue them! I'm so sorry you had that experience.

Hey LGBTQ+ Pandas, How Do I Make Myself More Approachable To People Who Are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Or Transgender? (Closed)

When you don't know the person's stance on gender identity it is absolutely best to assume especially when they're traditionally feminine or masculine, because 9/10 you'll find masculine presenting individuals to prefer he/him and feminine individuals to prefer she/her. To note, I am a trans man and do present masculine. However if someone were to misgender me regardless without knowing my pronouns, I wouldn't care. I'd correct them and move on. You'll find that most transgender people are the same way. Very rarely will you find someone who gets mad because you assumed their pronouns. And beyond that it's typically easy to tell who's a binary or trans man and who's a binary or trans woman. That's simply a societal fact and there's nothing wrong with acknowledging it. It helps to have the mindset of "is that a man, woman, or nonbinary person?" That's how you assume.

Hey LGBTQ+ Pandas, How Do I Make Myself More Approachable To People Who Are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Or Transgender? (Closed)

That's not the part I disagreed with. I agree that you shouldn't assume, never said otherwise. What I don't agree with is being creepy as hell and asking someone's sexuality. None of your business. As for asking about gender, also none of your business. That gets complicated and personal very fast. There are people who are questioning regardless. Just ask for pronouns. Besides, why would you even need to know whether someone is a man or woman or anything else? It should have no relevancy to how you treat the other person, so why ask? You mean well but there's a line that shouldn't be crossed. And even then there are situations where you should be assuming instead of asking. You can't go to a small town in Texas at a church barbeque and ask people their pronouns. Heck, even in New York.

" I don’t care what you “wanna be”. But if you were born with ovaries or testicles, better damn well let me know ahead of a medical intervention, lest we accidentally cause harm." For reference, this is the transphobic part. Have a nice day Mark. (He/Him)

I don't hate you, no idea what lead you to that conclusion. And I'm very sorry this page was once again in my recommendations, and I had forgotten I posted here. Rereading for the heck of it apparently means I'm "ruminating and cogitating over an opinion". I'm really not, and I really don't care. I forgot this was even here. I made a statement about my past self from a week ago. I'm not angry nor am I defensive. Am I not allowed to read? Am I not allowed to write? Good for you, you have trans friends. Though it's like saying "I'm not racist, I have black friends" but that's fine, I'll look past that. You're right, life is far too short to waste my time and energy. Thank you for your suggestion, I've been doing therapy for about a year now but certainly not for you, random stranger on the internet. That being said, hugs are traps and I am not a fan. The sentiment is appreciated nonetheless.

That's....not even close to what the op stated. Hi, my name is [redacted], my pronouns are he/him. What is your name and what are your pronouns? Asking for sexuality or gender is weird and I definitely don't agree with op on that though. Definitely don't ask or tell people your genitals. And why even bring up your husband? It's a simple, straightforward introduction. I think you're slightly exaggerating.

Hey LGBTQ+ Pandas, How Do I Make Myself More Approachable To People Who Are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Or Transgender? (Closed)

Came back to re-read your post, and I realized I really wasn't assuming as much as I thought. You are absolutely transphobic, whether you realize it or not. Whether you like to hear it or not. Cute downvotes.

Hey LGBTQ+ Pandas, How Do I Make Myself More Approachable To People Who Are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Or Transgender? (Closed)

I've been told my whole life that I'm a masculine woman. Your experiences don't account for every human being. Who told you that anyways? Seriously, I can't comprehend that any queer person would say that to you, so much so that I have to wonder whether you're the one lying. I can't verify what you've stated because frankly it's hard to believe, but if anyone has tried to push that on you then that's their problem, and it's messed up.. Your problem is with generalizing the whole transgender community. I'm not lying, but go ahead. Keep on being transphobic. Weird to see a bisexual pushing for discrimination against transgender individuals.

Hey Pandas, What Questions Do You Have About The LGBTQ+ People? (Closed)

Okay, sorry for the late reply. Can you explain your experience? Just sort of how you view your body, social aspects of gender, biological sex, and your understanding of being cisgender vs transgender.

50 Times People Were So Appalled By "Shrinkflation", They Just Had To Share The Proof Online

It's a fact. Oh but of course, we still live in a world where fighting for equality is still controversial.

50 Times People Were So Appalled By "Shrinkflation", They Just Had To Share The Proof Online

Maybe you would, people who believe in equality though would be happily enjoying food made by people who aren't homophobic.

50 Times People Were So Appalled By "Shrinkflation", They Just Had To Share The Proof Online

You MUST be an idiot if you still don't know how to spell 'you'. Seriously, if you're gonna be a prîck at least be original and try not to make yourself look like a fool. I'd pick up a book. And maybe some common sense.

50 Times People Were So Appalled By "Shrinkflation", They Just Had To Share The Proof Online

You only say that to the people fighting for equality. But you turn a blind eye to the people with opinions that fight against equality. Biased much?

50 Times People Were So Appalled By "Shrinkflation", They Just Had To Share The Proof Online

It stops being an opinion when it starts affecting real people in a negative way. Seriously, where's the empathy people? It shouldn't be this hard!

50 Times People Were So Appalled By "Shrinkflation", They Just Had To Share The Proof Online

Yeah, paying for other gay people's misery isn't quirky. It's not whether they like 'you' personally. You're just one person in a minority. But honestly, it's the lack of human empathy for me.

50 Times People Were So Appalled By "Shrinkflation", They Just Had To Share The Proof Online

There are plenty of companies that are based in Russia, and there are plenty that make pasta. They can support their own countries' actions. It's called selling out when a company based elsewhere continues selling at a place with horrible people running the country. They want money, they don't care about the pain and violence the Russian government is responsible for. It has nothing to do with the citizens. And I'm frankly concerned you think it does.

50 Times People Were So Appalled By "Shrinkflation", They Just Had To Share The Proof Online

It's not being offended, it's having some self respect. Gay people and allies simply don't buy products made by sh*tty people. They don't take that c**p from anyone and sure as hell won't take that c**p willingly. And even then, why do you care if a *minority* boycotts a company that only wants to harm them? Frankly I don't see how it's any of your business. And frankly I think you're the one getting offended by other people boycotting.

Yes, wonderful am I right? Very gorgeous costume and amazing effort from the mother. Truly shows how much she cares for her child. Making something like that probably took quite a while! Don't you think so as well? Definitely gorgeous!

50 Times Parents Acted So Wholesome They Made Their Kid's Day (New Pics)

Ouch. Toxic masculinity runs deep in that side of the family. Probably should have an open conversation about that with your husband. He needs to understand his daughter needs him in more ways than he wants there to be.

Hey Pandas, What's One Statement That Shouldn't Be Controversial But It Is? (Closed)

The suicide rates of queer youth who can't be themselves at home/school are way too damn high. This very bill would add to that. The people who support this bill would literally have blood on their hands. They indirectly killed children. That's fcking disgusting.

Hey Pandas, What's One Statement That Shouldn't Be Controversial But It Is? (Closed)

There's more- can't forget how the bill makes it so that students can't be openly themselves at school. Teachers would have to out them to their parents, if they don't they get sued or fired. The same people who want this bill set in stone are the same people who would hurt their kids if they were queer. That's an undeniable fact.

Hey Pandas, What's One Statement That Shouldn't Be Controversial But It Is? (Closed)

Who? Where? When? How? Kindergarteners are NOT taught sex ed. What they aren't but SHOULD be taught is "the prince fell in love with the princess" is the same as "the prince fell in love with the prince" THIS is homophobia and transphobia. Trying to erase PEOPLE. Just because they're different. The don't say gay bill makes it so diversity and inclusivity is non-existent for trans and gay students, or students with trans or gay parents. Teachers won't be allowed to talk about gay people or trans people. They'd literally be fired. Kids can't do it either, and if they do the teacher can't step in if the student is bullied. That's why the bill is nicknamed "don't say gay". Though apparently common sense isn't common in your world.

What Is A Woman?

Yes, it is and can. Ever heard of neuroscience Barry? I'd recommend referring to the studies.

"NO. This article is not about "less sex drive". It means one partner is ASEXUAL. As in: boundaries regarding sex at all. Some are ok with kissing but nothing beyond that. So a "minimum number of sex per week"? Is totally disregarding your asexual partner for your own needs. If you can't live with someone who is asexual, than DONT."

Here's the thing about people like you, Jen. You think you're right and the site is biased because no one will agree with you. Everyone here is spreading positivity and you are spreading negativity. That's not bias. That's just you being a closed minded bigot.

Jen, I would love to say some serios slurs in your face right now, but instead I'll just tell you: Gender is just a social construct. You can be whoever you want whenever you want. So keep your conservative and a*****e-ic opinion to yourself. Xoxo, hope you get your mindset fixed

Uh no, people ask for pronouns so they can make sure the other person isn't uncomfortable. You're not the same as everyone else, some people do mind getting misgendered. If people ask for your pronouns, it's so they don't make you uncomfortable. If people ask you directly whether you're a man or woman, then that's another story. And we aren't back in the old stereotypes in the slightest. You yourself have stated that you see trans women as feminine men that society tries to push into being female. Except no one is pushing. We're all just doing what makes us comfortable. We have no ulterior motive and we all acknowledge that without stereotypes social dysphoria wouldn't even exist. That's why everyone hates stereotypes so much. Believe what you want, though. Your biased perspective of transgender people won't change just because I repeat myself. Do you. Live and let live.

Hey LGBTQ+ Pandas, How Do I Make Myself More Approachable To People Who Are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Or Transgender? (Closed)

You're criticizing the very people that fight for gay rights worldwide. The very people you should be able to sympathize with. Again, this is all an assumption as to what kind of stance you take on the transgender community, specifically the nonbinary community.

Hey LGBTQ+ Pandas, How Do I Make Myself More Approachable To People Who Are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Or Transgender? (Closed)

Right. I acknowledged I was assuming many things but everything i assumed was because of something you said. Aren't you assuming a lot about me too? If you don't like the fact I happen to overthink and that leads to me trying to clarify my point as much as I can, hence the long replies. That's not my problem. I get heated, sure but that's a new one. Over-zealous preacher? I don't attempt to portray myself in any light, and I'm sorry if me expressing my views lead to you believing that. And I'd like to ask a couple questions. Have I at all screamed "damaged bitter and bloody argumentative"? Maybe that's how my posts came off but that's not what I said. I'm flawed. And I get mad way too easily these days but it's none of your business why or if I do. And I am passionate. As an overzealous preacher (thanks, I'm stealing that one) I thought I'd let you know one thing. Practice what you preach buddy.

Genital preference is linked to our sexuality. Some people have very set genital preferences, some people don't, and that's totally fine! Look up David Rose's "I like the wine, not the label" metaphor from Schitt's Creek, it's great!
