    Thanks for the heads up. I'd be pretty embarrassed masturbating to a transgender miss universe contestant.


    Now if you'll excuse me I've some Korean fart porn to watch.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,816 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    No need to be careful if you're not going there.

    Thread title misleading. Offensive, even.

    WTF is the world coming to

    I know, in my day transexuals were just considered weird, homosexuals kicked around, hetrosexuals normal as long as it wasn't buggery or any of that fancy stuff and paedophilia, well that never happened at all.

    Opinions change, shocking stuff.

    Still shorter than Maria Sharapova.

    And manly? Must be a new definition.

    I used to have a coffee table. I replaced the legs for longer ones. Now it's a desk.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,361 ✭✭✭✭Beruthiel


    Be careful... This is a man....

    You should probably look up the definition of Transgender.
    She is a woman now and no longer a man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,510 ✭✭✭Ellis Dee


    OK, OP, I'll try to spell it out in easy stages that you can understand::rolleyes:

    1. She is not a man. She once was, but is now a woman and recognised as one by the authorities and her official documentation.:) It happens, even in Ireland. Indeed, a landmark decision by the Equality Tribunal last year meant a major step forward in recognition of the human rights of transgendered people.:D

    http://www.humanrights.ie/index.php/2011/04/27/guest-post-a-step-towards-the-protection-of-the-rights-of-transgender-people/

    This is the judge's decision and it makes interesting reading:

    http://www.west-info.eu/files/Equality-Tribunal.pdf

    (Pretty smart judge. Sample from her decision: "Transsexualism is a recognised medical condition. Transsexualism is treated by a combination of hormone therapy, surgery (in some cases) and 'real life experience', that is, living as a member of the other sex. To gain 'real life experience' the person must be able to live their life continuously in the other sex without the need to revert to the birth sex. It is clear that for such experience to be relevant and appropriate the person must be able to interact with the society as a whole."

    2. Your advice to "be careful" is rather strange, as she doesn't look at all dangerous.:) If you ever come across someone like her in real life, you would be well advised to treat her with the respect that she undoubtedly deserves. And bear in mind that it could cost you if you violate her rights.;)

    As already stated, she's a woman, not a man.
    Physically, hormonally, emotionally, mentally, she's a woman.

    I don't know why some people get so bothered about transgender people. It doesn't affect them. I guess some people have a very limited conception about what sex and gender are and get freaked out by anything that doesn't fit into their worldview, instead of attempting to understand it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,310 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    She's a woman, but she's not a baby making woman. Each to their own. As far as I can tell, she's not harming anyone.

    I will say, though, that if a woman can change her look with plastic, why shouldn't a man remake himself into a woman and enter the beauty contest?

    On the plus side, you can annoy the bigots with two questions :pac:
    "Where you fapping to her?"
    "Do you know she used to be a he?"

    If the person HAD a sex change - they are not a man....

    Title wrong and frankly why should one be careful now of a WOMAN!

    OP exposes their true feelings about such people?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 431 ✭✭aido179


    I have seen plenty of women less attractive than her. Fair play to her.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    I'm not understanding why it'd be against the rules of the competition for a transgender person to enter :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 976 ✭✭✭Kev_2012


    Would it bother you if you started meeting a transgender person and a year down the line she/he told you that they were born a different sex?

    *This is only a question so PC brigade - relax*

    Apparently quantum physics is at a macroscopic level now, where someone is both a man and a woman simultaneously until they make a decision, Schroedingers sex.

    No, I'd be happy they trusted me enough to share what could be a difficult thing to talk about.


    Why would "pc" people be up in arms over that question, that imaginary group of people are the ones who simply wouldn't care if you were transgendered or not.

    WTF is the world coming to
    Guess what - trans people live everywhere amongst us and They're not some sort of freakshow for you to tut over

    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.

    At the end of the day (for me) they suffered badly from a medical condition that from birth, left them confused and screwed up, to put it mildly.
    They have have gone after much pain and time, to seek help, found the medical help eventually, saw an end to their medical problem and got on with their lives.

    If it bothered me, I would be the problem, not them.
