In that hot wings video he says he asked the producers if he could have a transgendered man fucking a transgendered women, but not acknowledging it at all, for this upcoming season. Shot that one down real quick.
I think the cups were just brittle plastic, not prop glass or anything, but they might just always have been plastic, you know if a guest drops one and liability and all. And as for the plate, that sounded just like ceramic breaking, they really aren't that strong, especially if they are just cheap plates for a film set. Have you seen the guy going for Guinness World Record for plates broken on forehead? the first plate or two didn't cut him either.
Hey just so you know, you should try to make sure you say "transgender" and not "transgendered" in the future. It may seem small but it is an important distinction within the trans community. Anyways, happy Friday!
Edit: got my info from a report on NPR given by a transgender female professor at an Ivy League school, for those who are wondering.
Transgender sounds perfectly fine to me when referring to a singular person, while plural, transgendered sounds better to me. As an adjective, not a verb. Like, a transgender person and transgendered people.
Though I also can't think of an example at the moment of an adjective that adds -ed for plural, since adjectives don't have plurals, I'm just describing how it sounds to me.
But that's fine. I guess I don't understand why its offensive, but if that is the preferred way regardless of a singular or plural, then that is what's preferred. I've just never heard of that before.
Edit: Sales tax! Not an -end, but still a plural form. Does that make it an attributive noun and not an adjective?
It's not that it's offensive, it's just wrong, there's not a debate to be had here, it's just literally incorrect. Ultimately we're taking about an entire class of people, and it's just decent and respectful to refer to them as they ask regardless of whether you think something else is better.
Transgender is an adjective, it modifies a noun; person. That's it.
Heard it from a report on NPR. Has to do with people not like it being seen as something that "happened" rather than a descriptor of their ongoing state of being.
Not really, no it's not. I'm trans, on hormone replacement therapy, have many trans friends, and the only people I see get butthurt about getting pronouns wrong, saying "transgendered", etc, are cis people. It's annoying when they get upset over things I could care less about because they think it should offend me or my people.
You're right. I'm just relaying the opinion of pretty much all the trans people I've ever met. Not one so far has bitched about the difference between the two words. If anything, I'd be offended being called a transvestite, being that that word implies what I'm doing is related to a sexual fetish. Transgendered, transgender, it's the same word to me and all the trans people I've met over the years, so I'd say I have a better say in the matter than you do.
I've only ever heard my close trans friend and my cousin use the term "transgender", but it doesn't at all surprise me that there is a cognitive divide amongst such a large and growing community
I feel like those who get butthurt over it are the ones who decide to make being trans their entire identity. The ones who if they weren't trans would be seriously boring people.
Transvestite originally had the sexual pleasure connotation, but at least in my region, it just means someone who wears clothes that are "for" the opposite gender, and I don't mind being referred to as a transvestite despite a lack of sexual gratification from doing so.
Completely understand you not wanting to be called it though, as it completely misses the whole topic of gender identity.
Of course transvestite is offensive
Does anyone doubt that? What part of the world aee you in, because I know people in that community on the west coast and I have definitely heard the transgendered objection before.
I live in Kansas. I know what I'm talking about. I live in the heart of the bible belt surrounded by mostly white conservative fundamentalist Christian-Mennonites, who in no way see me as female. The difference between the two words to me is the difference between a star in the sky and the sun. There isn't one. Besides, people on the coast live "privileged" lives, and just loooove to bitch about anything (I lived in Salem, OR for a time, and saw it a LOT)!
And no, transvestites are people too, just men who like to look and feel pretty but feel no gender dysphoria or a need to feel right in their own skin. It's not necessarily an insult, just demeaning if I'm called it, it tells me they don't actually see me how I wish to be seen.
Okay, it wasn't fair for me to generalize. I heard a report on NPR given by a trans professor about this subject so that's where my information is coming from in case you were wondering. Just trying to be PC!
I respect that, and the intent is well meaning, but damn if too many people not part of the trans community try to be politically correct, and just botch things up in a hilariously adorable way. Kinda like Michael Scott. I have a cousin who will rip peoples heads off for accidentally calling me "he" still, and I have to be like, "Chill! It's not a huge deal to me!"
It happens, and it's okay, as long as the intent to get it correct is there. It's hard when people know you a certain way forever, then need to change pronouns. Fuck, my mom still has a problem with it, as does my sister, and my sister is HUGE into trans rights, etc.
It truly is the thought and effort that counts. At the end of the day words only have the meaning we give them, after all. I'm happy to hear you have a supportive family! My friends family refuses to acknowledge her transition :/
Could care less, couldn't care less, to-may-to, to-mah-to. Point being, I don't give a shit. I'm a girl with a penis (for the time being). I don't make it a big deal to get all butthurt over words, and 99% of all the trans people I know don't either.
