Alwaysmyself Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Why do people feel the need to blatantly discriminate and hate on transgender people? I'm so angry and upset... Been battling with depression and this just hits me harder than it should, I'm sure. Link to comment
cute baby katie Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I am so sorry to hear that it gets too me when people are ignorant like that, I have transgender friends also I am gay myself so can understand to a point.

Kaidus Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I often feel the same when it comes to those who have Link to comment
Alwaysmyself Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Makes me want to cry and lash out at the same time. "You will always be a man/woman" or "you aren't a biological man/woman" Link to comment
Kaidus Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Can't say I blame you, though my own lashing out would be via physical attack. Link to comment
Alwaysmyself Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 I sort of want to throw caution to the wind and become an outspoken person for LGBT rights, especially transgender. Link to comment
cute baby katie Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Alwaysmyself You do sound like a strong person but also a caring person too. I just wish we could get rid of all the small minded bigots of this world so we all can life our lifes the way we choose too. Link to comment
Alwaysmyself Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Thanks Katie. If only I knew I could do some good. Link to comment
Kaidus Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Amen to that Katie; the circumstances of one's birth, walk of life and so on are irrelevant. Link to comment
Alwaysmyself Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Well said, Kaidus. If only everyone thought like you. Link to comment
Kaidus Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Thanks; I wish that the world had a better understanding for us Goths. Link to comment
Alwaysmyself Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Well I'll have to check it out Link to comment
sonofninasayers Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I just wish that people would except others for who they are, whether they be gay, lesbian, Transsexual, Goth, religious beliefs, speak a different language or any other things that make us who we are and I think that even though that we are all different in one way or another that our hearts beat as one as we all have the same body structure Link to comment
happyindprs Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 You must be dreaming if you think someday everyone will accept you regardless of what live style you have. Every ethnic group, race, or sexual orientation will forever be ripped on. 1 Link to comment

Alwaysmyself Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 happyindprs, I never said I wanted blanket acceptance without question, I merely questioned the need for some people to go out of their way to spew hatred, particularly at transgender people. Also, I am not intolerant of their decision to dislike people that they consider different, I'm intolerant of their hatred. Big diffference. They don't like people for being different, I don't like them because they are ass holes. There is no paradox. ForbiddenFruit: Thank you for getting it. Such a fantastic and fitting quote. There is no justification for the type of behavior that I posted about. Link to comment
WakkoWannaBe Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Okay, so I'm another one of those people not in the disenfranchised group saying something (that I hope isn't stupid). Link to comment
AwakenEvil Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 This is why humanity has no hope. Link to comment
Snugglebear Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Please note, this isn't directed at any specific individual so please don't post any "I take personal offence" responses. I dislike intolerance of whatever sort but I despise double standards. It always bothers me that certain, not all, homosexuals cry out for tolerance then demonstrate the exact opposite behaviour. Certainly homosexuals have gotten a raw deal from social intolerance but that being said try being bisexual. You get grief from heterosexuals for enjoying being with the same sex but you get the added grief from homosexuals because they think you are are either a heterosexual that's experimenting or a homosexual in denial. Sorry folks I'm neither. I am bisexual in the true meaning of the word which means I am attracted to INTIMACY with both genders. Bisexuality isn't about having sex with both genders. It isn't an experimental state. It isn't confusion or denial over one's sexuality. To the OP: You decide what you do with the negativity you see in the world. You decide to be angry or constructive in response. As a bisexual who gets it from ALL sides I'm not saying it's easy to be positive when faced with intolerance but I will say, living life happy and making a difference will do far more than just getting angry.

Alwaysmyself Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 WakkaWannaBe, I understood what you were trying to say thanks. I'm calm now. Snugglebear, I get it. I too am bi... I catch it from people who know I'm bi then I get it from people who learn in trans. I get it. Hugs. I actually overheard a friend of mine admit she, as a lesbian, doesn't believe that I'm bisexual, because I'm in a "hetero normative" relationship. So yeah, wtf on both sides. Thanks for all of the positive responses, everyone. I usually don't let people like that get to me, but sometimes it just hits me very hard, and my armor seems to crumble. Feeling like a large part of the world hates you just for trying to be happy sucks. Link to comment
