It confuses you to be attracted to women? Maybe you are attracted to men. Many psychiatrists specialize in helping people come to terms with their sexual orientation.
I’d be interested to hear your reply to @KathyPartdeux? I think she has a pertinent question on your original comment here. Many of us who are cisgendered are always open to being educated.
I wouldn’t tell a trans person not to share faceswap pics, I’m not even telling Boing Boing not to, but plenty of trans women suffer from internalized transphobia. My main proof is the fact that these comments had to be reviewed before they could be posted. Why would they do that? I would imagine it’s because this is a transphobic troll post.
All posts which contain the word t r o l l get held for a bit until review.
As a general rule, using the word troll will cause an automatic filter to engage, and posts including it are held for review by a moderator.
I appreciate your response; but you haven’t stated what makes it transphobic. My comments weren’t reviewed before being posted - were yours?
Lord knows there are so many transphobic posts out there - where say someone slaps makeup on someone’s picture to be denigrating of makes reference to trans women. Which are most definitely transphobic and misogynistic. And overwhelming.
I could very well be missing something- so I would appreciate your thoughts on what I may be missing here.
But can you share with us what you think is specifically transphobic about the face swaps? You haven’t really said the specific thing that leads you to believe that?
And everyone is right about the use of the term troll.
Odd that you seem to be ignoring one who is addressing you directly, and respectfully asking you to elaborate on your opinion.
While this topic is full of serious posts already, I hope noone minds that I would really like to see a Trek series with an all-female officer cast. Based on those images, I tried to imagine the female versions of Kirk, Spock and McCoy in a different timeline. Forget about the Kelvin timeline. It would be really, really interesting to have some screenwriters re-imagining Star Trek in a non-testosterone heavy way.
And I say that as someone who for some reason still doesn’t like Janeway that much.
No one asked you not to speak your opinion; on the contrary, you’ve been respectfully asked to expound upon it repeatedly.
It’s unfortunate that you have suffered bigotry and mistreatment simply because you’re trans… however, no one here in this thread has treated you with anything but the basic respect we all want for ourselves.
I cannot honestly say that you have offered that in return.
Should you choose to discontinue commenting here that’s your own choice.
Mod note: I just removed several posts ascribing a commonality of beliefs to the general membership here. If there’s one truth of the Happy Mutants that post here, it’s that by and large, we deviate.
For clarity: What I am saying is don’t generalize, and don’t derail this topic discussing how your generalizations were moderated, please. Feel free to message me directly if this is unclear.
I thought I defended my words well, though I apologize if you took deep offense to the internalized transphobia observation, I didn’t realize that it would go against community standards, and I admit it might have been unwarranted.
All I am saying is that not everyone here is your adversary or someone looking to mock you.
There are allies here, who all fight the good fight; alienating us because you automatically expect the worst is counterproductive.
Oh my god! I can’t unsee this! Kirk is hot though, I would do her.
Shade’s of Nixon’s The One!
How about some genderswapped cosplay!
And apparently, there is a gender swapped comic?
Spoiler review…
Love it! Totally adorbs.
Is that Data real? I can’t tell by the pixels. Either way, I dub her Mona Data.
