    Stupid as fuck. If gender truly didn’t matter then people wouldn’t come up with this disgusting stuff online to prominently put trans people on a pedestal (more of a high horse).

    Treat people equally.

          Actually this might be worth my time after all… I’m bored. So do tell me, why is it “haughty,” “arrogant,” etc. to exist as a nonbinary person…? Do you actually believe you have the right to ask me what genitalia I was born with and judge me accordingly?

              The issue in the comic is this: a nonbinary person exists. Random bystander: “are you a man or woman?” NB: I’m neither. Bystander then proceeds to ask what genitalia they have, not taking “nonbinary” as a valid answer. Yes the enby in the comic was snarky about it. I wouldn’t do that if someone was genuinely asking, but the comic suggests the bystander was being judgemental or otherwise a jerk about it. In which case yeah, I’m gonna be mean right back.

                Except this is a manufactured situation? And none of the"ifs" stand up to a single question about sources. Spiting actual racists/nazis is encouraged, but manufacturing hate because they never received any real one, just to create a conflict to be mad about is vain and attention seeking as fuck.

                  These people exist. I’ve met them, my friends have met them, and I personally have been abused by them. This is not a strawman argument, it’s a snarky comic aimed at real people who have hurt people like me. I don’t see why attacking those people is “arrogant and attention seeking.” Were not pretending to be victims, we’re attacking people who have hurt us through humor and snarky remarks… a perfectly reasonable response I’d say. I also apologize for assuming you’re one of those people, I was quick to jump to that conclusion when it looked like you were defending such actions…

              Do you believe the person in the comic is justified in asking about the other individual’s genitalia? The comic is aimed at such people. If you think that’s weird and wrong, you’re not the target of this comic. But I don’t think it’s arrogant at all to be mean to such people who think we should be discriminated against based on our genitalia.

                The comic puts those words in the bubbles. It’s self serving. It’s like that lady who put a fake target on her head and called it what happens to feminists irl.

                  Are you saying nobody actually does such things to us? It’s all a strawman, nobody actually asks what’s “in our pants”? Because I have most certainly encountered such people personally, and many of my friends have been harassed by them.

                    Of course not. I’m saying to minimise fake situations and bring attention to real ones. You do understand how this comic makes you look right? No one is stupid enough to think an actual terf provided the lines for the bubbles. This was all written by a trans person in an attempt to get a reaction.

          You’re the one who came here being combative over things that probably never happened. Someone matched or exceeded you’re level of combativeness and now you’re pissed?! Meanwhile people regularly say trans people aren’t real, or shouldn’t exist, and you completeley ignore that.

          Thank you for the complement. I do believe I’m justified in telling people who believe I ought not to exist that they are, in fact, evil. If that’s a problem for you, so be it. You’re entitled to your opinion, doesn’t mean you have the right to face no criticism or judgement for your views. Just as you have the right to say such things to me.

            who believe I ought not to exist

            Did you transition to “spite the haters” or do you have a personality that goes beyond gender? Because it sure seems like your whole existence exists to stoke the fire. Thanks for proving my point.

              I’m just in a particularly chaotic mood, given your original tone on this matter… I can ensure you I’m perfectly capable of holding a normal, intellectual debate (although this isn’t the most convenient platform to do so). And yeah when people defend those who say my identity isn’t valid, the same people who’ve harassed me and abused me physically and mentally during my childhood, I’m likely to get a bit confrontational at times.

              And in a way, yes, “spite the haters” is a big part of it. Because the “haters” are in most cases actively abusing or discriminating against us, and we generally like to bring attention to such social issues. That’s the point of political comics. I’d hardly call pointing out evil people and bringing them up as a joke “arrogant.”

      I would like to apologize ahead of time for disgusting you by putting myself on a pedestal by pointing out that I exist.

      Lots of people deny trans and non-binary people even exist. There are also those who That’s why people go around reminding everybody. How have you not worked this out yet?

      I have not seen trans people claiming to be better than cis people. What I have seen is cis people disparaging trans people. I’ve also seen both men and women disparage the opposite gender. I’ve even seen the constant (and somewhat sexist) reinforcement and policing of gender norms that happens within society such as girls are better at cleaning and men are better at repairing things and so on that’s mostly perpetuated by cis people.

      I say all of this as a typically presenting cis man in a male dominated field. Despite that I still have to contend with gender norms. For example I am not athletic, and do things like baking that make me stand out to other men who subscribe to traditional gender roles.

      So who again doesn’t treat people equally?

      Edit: I think you are also confusing feminists and gender abolitionists with trans people. Trans people are not the ones normally arguing that gender doesn’t matter, as it’s understandably quite important to them specifically. Gender abolitionists want to get rid of gender norms and other things associated with a person’s social gender. Feminists need no explanation but surfice to say that the majority of them are cis women.

        The smugness in the comic? The fact that every single trans person I’ve ever talked to online has been fucking arrogant as fuck about it and flaunted their transness as being better than being cis?

        The fact that all those movements preach equality but treat people differently? Get fucking real, bigot.

              You still don’t get it. If they actually had equality comics like this wouldn’t need to be made. Are you going to start complaining whenever women mention sexism or black people mention racism?

                  Is that actually what you want though? Or do you actually want to hate on trans people while pretending to be impartial? I would love a society where largeley socially constructed concepts like gender norms and race didn’t exist, yet I don’t go around being combative towards minorities like you do. Think about this.

          I’ve ever talked to online

          online

          How exactly would you know someone is trans online if they we’re “flaunting” it? How do you know you don’t interact with more quite trans people then loud trans people? How does any of that matter? It’s online forum. If you’re angry at text on a screen, go outside and touch grass.

          The irony of calling me a bigot while also espousing the view that trans people think they’re better than cis people is hilarious. There are assholes in every group, trans people included. That doesn’t mean all trans people are assholes.
