Things I hate about the collective trans community

    No. 1:

    It's kinda insulting to a trans woman who has been putting up with real world **** for as long as she can remember to see a poster for trans awareness week which emphasises the importance of make-up. Advertising make-up tutorials as its main attraction.

    Insulting and sexist and ****ing embarrassingly stereotypical. It is not exhaustive of the things i despise about the community - but it's high on the list. Almost as high on my list as it is on theirs - but with the obvious inverse correlation.

    Where did you see this poster, on the street somewhere, or online?

    Can you please post a link, I would be interested in also seeing it.

    Mod

    JTF and Skallywag please stop. If you have any personal issues with each other take them to PM. If you keep dragging posts off topic with personal remarks against each further mod action will be taken. As always feedback by pm only.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    No. 2 Fetishism from within the community itself.

    No. 3 Crossdressers acting like predators and thinking they have **** in common with trans women (we're not even the same animal - again, thanks TENI for lumping us all in together)

    No. 4 TENI
