Also wtf is deadnaming

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/deadname

"To refer to someone who has changed their name by their previous name."

So basically: calling Caitlyn Jenner "Bruce Jenner" would be deadnaming.

I'm not sure how Transhuman thought that post was gonna fly. I am surprised they went straight for a perma instead of like a month or something.

Are you really surprised? Isn't Sweet Nicole transgender? Or she's really supportive of that cause.

Wu burned a lot of good will. Look that Trojita called her a moron without repercussion.

Old Gaf was done with her before the Exodus. So is surprising that people still shill for her as someone make a thread about a interview with her a week ago.

From what I understand, ideally a trans person should not have to call themselves trans, or would not want to have to identify as trans.  They feel like their gender and want to be referred to as their gender.  Saying you're trans puts an asterisk on that and then you're expected to get into fights and be an activist and have certain opinions and all that.

So I understand wanting to avoid all that.  But I have a feeling if her career goes any further it's going to be harder and harder to deny it, and Reset is going to ban a lot of people for posting public knowledge.  People will be like "it's great to have another trans ally in public office" and they'll have to act all shocked and appalled and ban every time, for progressive positive posts.

Well honestly I expected to get get warned for posting off-topic, because Brianna Wu being trans has nothing to do with Chelsea Manning, but I felt a need to address what excel said. I didn't think I was being transphobic in the least. She was correcting Trojita for correctly stating that Wu is trans. I'm pretty sure Trojita is trans too (they were pretty active on trans thread on gaf?) so her instructing Trojita to ignore what is public record because Wu wished it weren't is just insane.

Excellsior's post that I was labelling Wu trans based on appearance is super fucked up. I don't know if that was her being disingenuous to get me banned, or just her leaping to extremes.

She wanted you banned, she used the “is a GG conspiracy” so people didn’t comment further. Some Gaf mods and users used to post on an anti-GG subreddit where Wu was mod for a short period (until kicked out).

Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lawrence and Kristen Stewart have to be the most overhyped "young female celebrities" ever. Though I have to admit, Shake it Off is a great song, Lawrence was great in Winter's Bone, and.... something positive about Kristen Stewart.

Depends on if they're particularly mad at Lindsey Graham at that moment for something he said or voted on, or if someone just sort of brings it up out of the blue. If it's the former, there is no gay stereotype joke that is over the line. You can imply that he wears leather assless chaps and sucks dick in truckstop bathrooms as he bug-chases across America and you wouldn't get banned.

It's more like being accused of being homophobic for referring to Peter Thiel as a gay man right after Gawker reported he was gay. Outing people is a douchey thing, but once it's on the public record, insisting people pretend they don't know is so fucked.

(The situations arn't completely analagous as Thiel insists it wasn't a closely guarded secret he was gay, but it definitely wasn't something that had been touted to the public before the Gawker article)

Word is that Dennis is alive and well. One wife, two kids. Works in insurance brokerage. He does pub trivia every Monday with his two friends, Dex and Terry. Sometimes he wonders what it would have been like to stay at the bore, but those thoughts don't last long. He just put a down payment on a new car. His daughter is four. She wants to be an astronaut someday. His son is six. He just learned how to program.

"Dennis," his wife calls. He walks into the room.
"What is it?"
"I found this in one of the drawers. Do you know what this is?" She hands him the picture.
"Oh, nothing," he laughs, "Just old memories."

Ah, that's my boy Hemingway. I'll never forget the time he went rogue and we had to bust him out from a prison in an undisclosed Central American country during Clinton's Powder Wars. The boy could shoot a haji's head clean off from a thousand yards, the best sharp shooter I've ever met. No wonder the CIA recruited him for mercenary work during his teens. They only paid us in training and ammo. Great guy. Strong as a horse. A little unstable though, I always knew he had a few screws loose. That really takes me back.

That's not how that works. Someone isn't trans just because you think they look it.

I never said or implied that and I think it's disgusting excelsior did. When Gawker said Peter Thiel was gay, the public knew Peter Thiel was gay. It didn't just suddenly become true when he acknowledged it.

There's a fucking Medium article talking about Brianna Wu being trans, do I just pretend the public record doesn't exist?

Permed too. Wow.

The guy was simply asking whether the increase in violence was due to immigrants or native swedes. Yet, it seems even asking the question gets greeted by huge suspicion.

"He said 'white swedes'. What he really means is the pure Aryan race and that everyone else are sub-humans".

The likelihood of Kevin Spacey and John Travolta being gay was an acceptable thing to discuss for years (and was confirmed true for the former). There's nothing wrong with being gay ofc. The shocked responses at implying Wu is trans really give offs a weird signal. Don't they *want* more trans people with power? Is there controversy about things like that because it implies Wu isn't a very convincing looking trans woman?

I mean it may just have been clumsiness but qualifying it as "white Swedes" is weird and potentially charged. Using "Swedes" (or the more precise "Swedish citizens") was as meaningful and served the exact same purpose without any racial tones. The whole "native X" (for instance over here it's often "Français de souche", "souche" being a tree strain and to be understood if translated as "roots") is, without any doubt, used as an euphemism in xenophobic rhetoric in Europe and it muddies the water of a perfectly fine legal & simple definition of whether you hold citizenship or not. AFAIK, for most European countries, the vast majority of legal citizens will have been born and raised there.
