Also, "trans woman", please. We aren't separate from the category of 'women'. We're women who have the trait of being trans; you wouldn't call a woman with, say, lupus a "lupuswoman". We're women, not a modified form of women.
We don't transition to a different gender. We adjust our physiology to align with the inherent gender identity we're born with.
Put me firmly in the category of "Hillary, your time in the spotlight is over, please STFU, fade away, and let more progressives come into the spotlight."I'm very fortunate to have learned about gender identity along with my adoptive white Boomer parents approximately 15 years ago when a lesbian friend of mine had an ex who was a trans woman who was actually transitioning to a trans woman at the time and both came to my house quite frequently and both me and my parents always had conversations that were hours long about gender identity and sexual orientation and the challenges that both communities faced at that time 15 years ago. It was out of these conversations that myself and my parents became strong allies of the LGBTQ+ rights movement, and all of us kept up with current events of the LGBTQ+ rights movement, it was, also, because of these conversations that when same-sex marriage came up for a popular vote in Maryland (occurred before the landmark SCOTUS case that made same-sex marriage legal in the entire country), my entire family voted for legalizing same-sex marriage and we made a strong attempt at trying to get our friends to also vote for same-sex marriage.Highly fortunate that both of my Boomer parents had progressive ideologies since childhood in that they participated in the 1960s civil rights movement. They believe that healthcare is a right not a privilege, so much they set up a healthcare clinic that was completely free for patients, they successfully recruited doctors and nurses who also believed that free, high quality healthcare should be completely free to everyone. They also support UBI, everyone being paid a living wage among other progressive ideological ideals.My parents raised me and my two adopted black brothers to treat everyone the same way we would want to be treated, with respect, dignity, kindness, if the people we meet are clearly bigots after talking with them for a few conversations, it's definitely correct to disassociate with them.I'm highly fortunate however to have met in my life, people who are socially progressive and are not conservatives, I feel that is one of the benefits of living in Baltimore, it has such a large group of social progressives and it outweighs any conservatives that lives in Baltimore.
This rising China hate has transformed into me having to constantly spar with people about various subjects. And we're all on the same fucking side!
The way they so adamantly argue that there's absolutely no difference between trans and cis women is so absolutely bonkers to me.

Name one difference that's not transphobic.
Everyone who knows their own inherent sense of gender understands the concept of gender identity. This applies to most people who have ever lived, both trans and cis.
Trans women and cis women are the same type of women, in that our inherent sense of gender identity is 'woman'.The adjectives that describe our assigned sex at birth don't put us into separate categories of women. Our genitals don't define our gender. Trans and cis women are both in the same category, simply because we identify as women.

Quote from: Mr-JokerThis why I get annoyed when people kept saying that things would had been better if Hillary had won instead of Trump, when she's just as bad. I mean the fact that she compared her staying with her husband after his affair as the same as raising a transgender child.yeah sure the real threat is someone only mildly and passively transphobic who wouldn't really touch our situation when in power as opposed to someone who's already legislating us out of existance actively and is going to continue to do so but doesn't really get flak from centrists like you because it's expected of them and thus "normal"y'all don't fuckin' know shit and your viewpoints hurt trans causes through some false equivalence bullshit just because you care more about Hillary Clinton than you do transphobia. fuck off

Quote from: Mr-JokerI am not a centrists and I apologise for my badly worded post and after reflection I had removed it.People who don't understand who the real enemies are when it comes to people in power enacting transphobia are centrists to me. Though a better term might be cosplay leftists. They're certianly not allies, that's for sure. "Badly worded" doesn't exactly count as a retraction of the core intent of the post either, it's just a vague assertion that "That's not what I meant" when there are few other things one could mean with what you typed. A simple "I was wrong" would serve you better here.And yes, I sound mean right now. But your post speaks to a trend I've been seeing on Era. People here don't actually give as much of a shit about transphobia as they claim to and use it as an excuse to dunk on someone they already disliked. For them, when Republicans do it (the people in power and actively trying to force us out of society), it's normal and to be ignored. And people who act like that? They REPULSE me. There are honestly no fucking words I can say to express how much I feel like I'm being used as a tool by some people here as opposed to being part of someone's causes they're actually fighting for. Republicans get a pass because it's only cool to hate Democrats for transphobia and that just tells me people don't give a shit about transphobia when it's actually important and hard to keep focus on the things that matter in the present.

I thought you wrote cisnomer and my instinct is that is an excellent word"I had heard it was ok to call them transexuals""well actually that's a cisnomer"

It's a common cisnomer that transwomen have lupus.

Trans people being compared to breeds of cat. Always finding new depths in these threads.

It's totally understandable for trans people is react in the way they do when these conversations go in this way. The issue is that it shouldn't get to that point. If there's a specific type of behaviour that avoids bans/warnings but is bad then maybe we as a community should petition for rules to be changed.As well as that, my fellow cis people, we should probably talk way less in these topics and ask questions and listen more.
This is a long overdue discussion topic that hasn't been able to gain any traction. I've been on GAF/Era for about 19 years now, and though I don't post nearly as much as I did, it's something that I continue to see just get worse and worse.My particular beefs tend to be more the second point that TPR makes... namely that I've always been annoyed by discussion on Asian topics that are then priviledge-splained to me how it ACTUALLY is by someone who taught in Korea, is dating or has dated Asians, etc. I'm not going to name names

ahaha they banned that el oh el guy too, for "alt-account"
This board was never progressive. Resetera's just a bunch of milquetoast moderate right role-playing "progressive" because they think its cool.It's sad to see trans people have to defend themselves over Hillary's fanatical cult to this day.

One of the largest Hillary referential sites is a basket of deplorables so it makes sense they would cancel Hillary now

President Sanders sounds good doesn’t it.
Not surprising in the least, but I am worried that this might divide Democrat voters if Bernie is not the nominee.
He's the real racist! I wonder how many of those HK protestors are racist against Black people...
Sanders needs to reboot the campaign and focus on the first four early states plus super Tuesday.
That heart attack ended Bernie's run for the nomination. AOC should know better
Surprised, but only at the lack of political acumen.
No, it isn't. During the last election Warren endorsing Hillary over Bernie pissed off his fans because as you can see this time around, Warren's policies are closer to Bernie's than Hillary's. If AOC endorsed her over Bernie, then that'd just piss off his base and there'd be those that'd refuse to get behind her support. But her coming out and endorsing Bernie right now will allow her to later endorse someone else (like Warren) if Bernie doesn't get the nom without any of the backlash.

Yep. Makes me reconsider my planned vote for her when she's eligible too
New: Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib will also endorse Sanders, according to source. AOC will, as @daveweigel and @WaPoSean first reported, will do the same on Saturday in NYC.

Disappointing. All three of them should be doing better than siding with that old fool.
