ITT

Someone literally said when push comes to shove they still see trans women as men, and a bunch of people responded to it with shit like "well said", "said it better than I could"

SLAY QUEEN

[benjipwns]

This thread is a great example of why half of all trans people attempt suicide at some point in their lives.

[benjipwns]

I'm sorry I exposed you to this thread, like, honestly. I was angry and wanted to yell about how much this topic angered me and didn't think about the consequences of my fellow trans users having to see it and ruin their day.

even the mods aren't "allies" on ERA wow

[benjipwns]

this guy lol

I've slept with both cis women and a trans woman. She must have had a good surgeon because it was the prettiest damn pussy ever(afaik there's no discernible difference.). So yeah, ppl in this thread talking out their ass

[benjipwns]

Someone who unironically claims that they would never, under any circumstances date any woman that’s trans, black, Asian, or who could be ascribed any other characteristic beyond their control, showing absolutely no respect for the individuality of the women in those groups, is a bigot, yes.

Can't agree more. Thank you.

why aren't these moderators cleansing the forum of the transphobes exposing themselves in the thread?!? commence actioning! commence actioning!

[benjipwns]

i keep reporting my posts on here where i quote people from ERA but nothing seems to be happening

User Banned (Duration Pending): Transphobia. History of similar behaviour.

The people who are most aggressive in pushing for the demedicalization of trans conditions (the non-dysphoric non-binaries) are not concerned about this scenario from my experience because 1) they themselves do not feel any distress over their bodies and are almost never pursuing medical intervention , and 2) they don't believe physical dysphoria even exists and simply want to chalk up all the pain and distress trans people feel to societal bigotry.


But yes it's a huge issue. The more you try and demedicalize being Trans the more you make it increasingly difficult for Trans people who are in a tremendous, often life-threatening amount of pain to get the help and treatment that they desperately need, or even be taken seriously for that matter. I have to self-med because finding a doctor that is competent and non-hostile is pretty much impossible in my area. Its even worse for trans youths who often dont have that option and are just stuck completely without care as they are forced to watch their bodies irreversibly change and develop in ways that cause them an incredible amount of pain and distress, often driving many to the point of suicide.

Are you really going to imply that physical dysphoria doesn't exist? That the incredible pain countless trans men and women feel everyday due to their bodies is not real? That's far more offensive than what the other poster said.

Being trans is a condition for many people that requires medical intervention. Lack of medical care to treat dysphoria can and often be legitimately life threatening. The more people try to demedicalize being Trans the harder they make it for people to be taken seriously when seeking care.

another bigot exposed, GamerGate really has to be targeting ERA for this to be so common

Banning trans members from transphobia. Any accusation of transphobia from RE just feels meaningless

[benjipwns]

I didn't mean they weren't women.

But I mean... I don't see how anyone can reasonably deny that for a straight person, when it comes to a pre-op transperson the genitalia is probably going to be the biggest issue.

I genuinelly feel bad for trans people on this matter. I genuinelly do. But it's not reasonable to demand that people change their sexuality.

action this fucking transphobe with the rest of them already, he can't even be genuine in spelling genuinely

[benjipwns]

this guy lol

he really wants someone to notice this:

which would also explain the super high amount of bi people in comparison to monosexuals.

I don't get you monosexual types.

meanwhile, all i know is that nudemacusers is probably stereosexual or dolby5.0sexual

I don't get why people are so hung up on genitals.

I'm a straight cis guy. I'm attracted to the female form. I like the curves and the smoothness and all that good stuff.

I don't find vaginas attractive. They feel good for sex but they are not a pretty sight. I've seen my fair share of them and it is what it is.

nah, Sunhi's on there, he's posted about a thousand gifs from God of War alone looking at his post history, also other Sony exclusives

just doesn't seem to do the "forum drama" ones like Mama Robotnik also used to do with Star Trek clips, etc.

do you remember that webcomic that was feuding with gaf for some reason, and sunhi made a gif of eating a sandwich and then shitting on said comic?

FINALLY, THE CLEANSING BEGINS

User Banned (1 Week): Transphobia.

I would not date a trans person, and I assure you it’s not because they can’t have kids.

User Banned (Duration Pending): Transphobia. Account still in junior phase.

Yeah so you just admitted that when push cones to shove you don't really see trans women as women.

Yeah, and I bet they're not proud of that. I certainly know I'm not proud of it, but at least I can admit it than outright deny it.

User Banned (Duration Pending): Transphobia.

No, I won't date trans, fats, ugly people. What's the peoblem?

User Banned (5 Days): Transphobia.

What? Train yourself out of intrinsical sexual behaviour? Are you suggesting a heterosexual version of conversion therapy?

User Banned (Duration Pending): Transphobia. Accumulated infractions.

I was talking with a couple coworkers just the other night, and one friend made a comment that the other friend should get with me(knowing I was engaged). Her response was "not the right color". I'm white. She doesn't date or have sex with white dudes. I did not look at her as a bigot in any way. Why would I? Everyone has their sexual preferences. Me? I don't want a penis in bed with me. I'm straight, I want a vagina. That doesn't make me a bigot in any way.

The fact that people in this thread are talking down to straight people that want the opposite sex for a relationship is appalling.

User Banned (3 Days): Transphobia. Please do not refer to or imply that trans people are abnormal or unnatural.

I don't know how else i should word it? Natural? Basically someone that looks and sounds like they were born as a female

[benjipwns]

Velvets out, all karakul and bonded neoprene here baby.

I gotta be honest man, doesn't it get a bit much? I've worn jeans every day for two years. Don't you just want to take off the bowtie, take off your coat, and put on a $5 shirt you bought at a second hand store? Though you dress so well, a guy with jeans and a shirt is probably your idea of what a homeless person looks like.

I was with you like "yeah, yeah, *headnod* up until this part 

It's like you were on a path to bring some normalcy to this thread and then you went complete horseshoe theory on this fashion shit

First off, did *you* find a mint condition Kony 2012 shirt for $2? Didn't think so bitch. I choose d.o.p.e shirts, you choose n.o.p.e shirts

My shirts are fucking dope, FUME5 has seen me he can confirm

My favorite thing about ERA is that when they finally find a ~~~transphobic person~~, ~~racist~~, or ~~GAMERGATOR~~ they will still only hit them with a one week ban. All this bullshit about punching nazi's and fighting the alt right, and when they find one their own house they tell them to sit on the porch step for a few hours become mommy nicole is pissed.

i like how a moderator admitted they made a thread just to express blind outrage and presumably to ban some hidden bigots, that's proactive leadership

something that if shosta had thought of it he'd still be an exalted ERA mod in the Silver City instead of in the Filth Gutter here with assimilate and optimus and transhuman

In terms of sensation during intercourse are post op vaginas the same as real vaginas?

MODS MODS ACTION ACTION!!!

MOD CRISIS : RAZING STORM

[benjipwns]

Does this apply to all traits a person finds attractive or unattractive? There are a vast number of traits not under a person's control that another might find attractive or not. Things like height or breast size or personality or how long their legs are or how muscular they are or if they wear glasses, etc, etc. Would anyone claiming they are not attracted to people because of any of those particular traits also be bigoted?

It’s becoming increasingly clear that you’re not in this discussion in good faith, but I’ll indulge you once more.

How does the phrase, “I will never date someone who has a mole”, sound to you? Surely as ridiculous and absurd as it does to me?

But the thing is: we’re not talking about breast sizes here. We’re talking about a group of women who are systematically mistreated by society on every level. Someone who talks in absolutes about trans women in the way we were discussing is a bigot, straight up. Maybe someone who says the phrase in the paragraph above isn’t a bigot - even though they’re definitely at least a full-on idiot. But that’s meaningless semantics and completely divorced from what this thread and my original post are about.

oooooooohhhh the magic phrase

[Cauliflower Of Love]

we’re not talking about breast sizes here.

sorta are though

[Transhuman]

I don't know anout you guys but when I think about transgender people, I think about the psychological pain of growing up in a body of the incorrect gender, and the body horror that is so intense that it requires a surgical operation that changes your body on a deeply private and person level. And that always gets me in the mood for sex.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

sugar nooddle fucks though

[benjipwns]

please don't use transphobic language like this

[Cauliflower Of Love]

Is this transphobic, but they got a brazilian guy to be a mod who is apparently super trans friendly?

or is that racist?

[benjipwns]

The fact that people in this thread are talking down to straight people that want the opposite sex for a relationship is appalling.

Me saying, "You poor thing. It must suck to be marginalized" would be talking down to you. Saying, "trans women are real women" is just trying to drill in the fact that you need to get over your black-and-white views of the world. Genitals dictating gender is a view I hope goes the way of the fear of electricity when that was becoming the norm.

Also, saying you're straight and that you want a vagina is pretty damning for various reasons. You say everyone has their sexual preference, and you're right, but then you go into a rigid and generic viewpoint: "I don't want a penis in bed with me. I'm straight, I want a vagina." How can you claim you're not a bigot and not see how damaging--to trans people and yourself--your statement is? No one gives a shit about your preferences; people care that you can't--or aren't willing to--see past them. Again, the issue here is that you're basically saying trans women aren't real women, in the guise of "my preference."

Bigots don't care to learn; good people choose to. I hope you're the latter.

lock the thread, ban everyone, shut down era, leper etoliate, slayven sort it, we're done here, gamergate won't be coming back from this

Don't worry, despite dozens of people posting horrifically transphobic rhetoric throughout this thread, only a couple have been banned.

Trans folk should start being incels... then folks here would probably show us more empathy.

Tesla thread delivering :

https://www.resetera.com/threads/cnbc-elon-musk-emails-employees-about-extensive-and-damaging-sabotage-by-employee.50004/#post-9421563

I debated about whether including the fact that a lot of posters on this forum are brainwashed by the old guard, status quo auto and oil conglomerate.

Looking at these posts calling Elon a crazy conspiracy theorist after the employee admitted it, I made a good choice including it. They're brainwashed, astroturfers, or Russian bots trying to sow a divide.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/cnbc-elon-musk-emails-employees-about-extensive-and-damaging-sabotage-by-employee.50004/page-2#post-9421983

I honestly believe these Tesla threads are so divided because there's some foul play going on on this forum. The post you quoted is just so far out there.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/cnbc-elon-musk-emails-employees-about-extensive-and-damaging-sabotage-by-employee.50004/page-3#post-9460748

Handing out a one week ban for this is a very very bad look.

Should be longer tbh, maybe permanent. Accusing other members with no evidence isn't acceptable.

Not really, calling people Russian bots etc just because people didn't agree with with him is weird

[HaughtyFrank]

I'm glad that this is still around

You can’t be racist against white people. Racism refers to discrimination and systematic oppression and white people aren’t subject to that.

If it was bannable to say you wouldn't date a trans person then apparently 97% of straight people wouldn't be welcome here.

Goddamn straight people, why can't you be into dicks?

[benjipwns]

and locked, a decent penultimate post:

I really love how people have completely twisted the thread into little sub arguments and excuses, when really the main issue is people, full stop, won't date a trans person simply because they are trans.

And we have people in this thread being open and honest with that, and then being applauded by other members like they are brave for saying how they marginalize a marginalized group of people.

User banned (1 week): Thread-complaining in a thread concerning discrimination

Can I ask what the purpose of the thread was? Like, what would be the spectrum of acceptable opinion in this thread without risking being banned or suspended?

Does the OP realise that posting a thread as a mod has an immediate chilling effect on people that might want to express an opinion but feel unable to do so.

And for a lot of them, that might be the correct way, to make sure they take stock and ponder what they actually mean before offering something.

But it also means that people cant understand why their position might be wrong, worrisome, transphobic or problematic.

So far, the pathway to not get banned is to say "I only date people I can have children with".

Was this a genuine attempt to challenge conventional views?

excellent

[benjipwns]

User Banned (1 week): Meta-complaining about moderation. Attempting to derail discussion. History of such behaviour.

Wait so is the argument "you're transphobic if you wouldn't sleep with a trans person"?

It looks like its bannable if you rule out dating a person who is trans

i dont want to derail or anything so ill just report it , but i dont see that as something to be banned over.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

I don't want to call benji a liar, but I saw the mod message very very early on and I never saw the op requested thing.

If this was era I'd be actioned by now.

It always baffles me that the userbase of REE doesn't realize THEY are the forum, not the mods or the admins. If they are upset with the way the place is run they could form a community moderated site like here. Despite the complaints, I can only conclude they all like the way REEE works.

There are also the two mod captains, who users are to contact if they have questions about moderation.
