Yeah you're going to get banned, Dragona said she'll help em out.
Help the trans members out?
Here's the thing, the trans thread and its most active members proliferate and celebrate female stereotypes more than anywhere else on the forum. Far too much of the m2f voices are voices that equate female gender to something out of an anime cartoon. The discussion often dissolves to ditzy banter and teeny-like concerns over nail polish and how one's hair looks that day. For the crap Himu gets, he at least gears the discussion to actual exploration of the trans issue and engages in those discussions. Outside of that, it's Legally Blonde 3. And posters like Alfarif or whatever his name is seem most enticed and attracted to the anime maid girl aspect of the behavior of m2f posters in the thread.
It's not that you can't have girly interests, it's that you have people deciding they are female based on an idea of female gender that is entirely void the real issues of being female, and is instead surely footed in playing a stereotyped and diminutive role.
And if I'm defending woman-kind, that pisses me off.
I'd agree with this, as a poster in the thread.
I've stopped posting because it has essentially turned into the type of "girl on internet" thread we've made fun of over the years.
1. girl airs out her insecurities in thread
2. guys flock in telling her she's amazing
3. girl thanks guys for their encouragement, has nice day
4. next day: girl breaks up with bf/gets fired/feels shitty/is turned down/etc, cries
5. guys flock in telling her she's amazing
etc
At some point words of encouragement don't mean shit if the person simply doesn't like who they are, or simply likes the attention received. I'm sure the transition process is painful and leads to lots of self doubt, but
every single post by Jaimie and Lexi either boils down to
1. I look horrible
2. Thanks for telling me I look good
3. I feel so girly right now
