Cis people are people who are not transgender it's a big thing on tumblr the whole "die cis scum" thing at the moment.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Simon wrote this on his tumblr about it: And trans people, transgender and transsexual people are really disadvantaged, especially in non-Western countries, and they are at a higher risk of violence and murder, plus suicide, and laws need to be made to protect trans people from job, housing, health services and employment discrimination, and plus there needs to be more education about trans people, but anyone who came onto Tumblr not knowing anything about trans people would leave thinking most are a bunch of whiney brats who think someone misgendering them is the worst oppression ever. “Die Cis Scum” is a fucking stupid slogan, and anyone who uses in a legitimate way (ie, not making fun of it) is a complete idiot and I will eat my fucking foot if that piece of shit slogan becomes associated with people doing real activism for trans people by trying to stop the violence and discrimation against them, rather than the idiots arguing on the Internet about Gender/Womyns Studies all day.

I don't care - let people be happy.

I do not support them, nor am I against them. I find supporting them feels a little bit like trying to eradicate homosexuality by changing the physical aspect instead of the psychological one. However, I am not against them because the operations make them happy without affecting me.

You can be homosexual and transgender. Supporting them in no way is trying to eradicate homosexuality. Gender and sexual orientation are separate.

Yeah I know. I mean if a guy is attracted to guys, he's gay, but if he gets sex change then he's straight. I've never heard of anyone who's straight and goes for the operation, but some people like that must exist, I suppose.

It would be stupid to eradicate homosexuality by having a sex change because imo it would be harder to be a transgender than a gay man. Gay rights still have a while to go but more people support gay people than they do transgendered people and also dating as a gay man would be easier than being a woman and having to tell straight men you were born a man. If they make a really hot woman maybe, but if you're a gay man who hates being gay, getting a sex change seems like it would make your life harder than just living as a gay man.

Actually, hopefully he wouldn't mind using him as an example, but Simon was born a girl and actually likes guys, so becoming a trans made him gay. No hate guys, I am supportive in every way.

Seriously, can people stop saying things like "They're straight before the sex change and gay after?" Sexual reassignment surgery is not the "magic moment" when your gender changes. Chances are, you have a certain gender identity long before you decide to get surgery. Gender is in the head, sex is between the legs. And sex and gender don't always match up.

I honestly don't give one single shit. People can be who they like, as long as they aren't in my face all the fucking time.

Am I missing something here?

My science teacher last year was a transgender. People kept calling her a drag queen and a cross dresser and she decided to have a school meeting/assembly thing to educate us all about transgenders, and explained that she was a lady so we should politely call her Ms. And say she/her. Once it was all put out in the open and explained, everyone became super accepting and stopped making jokes. A bunch of people listed her as their favorite teacher in the yearbook (i didnt, her tests were really hard but thats beside the point). I really think more education is whats needed on the subject. It made a huge difference at my school, and thats a group of immature 8th graders were talking about, so imagine how well it would work on adults, if they were willing to listen

How did people know she was transgender?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

She had kind of a deep voice and broad shoulders, you could kind of tell that she had been born biologically male

I assume you're in on the trans positive movement considering your username, so I'm kind of surprised that you used transgender as a noun. It's an adjective. You'd call someone a transgender man or woman, not a transgender.

I feel as though there's a joke here I'm not getting. Or maybe there should be...

I'm a transgender man. Yee.

A friend of mine in my last play was trans, and he was seriously one of the coolest people, and a hilarious actor. I really don't get the whole "Pretend you don't notice" thing either He would constantly talk about how he went by a girls name when he was younger and how some people wouldn't call him by his preffered name. It's not like he's like "I wasn't born with a penis?!?!?!"
