If this "identity crisis" was a real thing, wouldn't you think, there would be more than 1 case in 6 billion people on Earth? b ) No, I am NOT supporting anything you said! Being white and living a "black lifestyle" is a choice, because there is no scientific evidence, to prove the opposite. Being born male or female but identifying as the opposite happens all the time and - by now- is backed by scientific- studies. If I start listening exclusively to "black" music, dress as a rapper, call myself Jamal from tomorrow onwards- that is a choice of a lifestyle! Being transgender is NOT! End of story! No one is going through complicated hormone- treaties and painful, gender changing- operations, just for the fun of it! Not to speak of the social drama of being ridiculed by boneheads and dumb@$$es! Whatever you say, think or believe because you prefer Ladyboy's they are men biologically who choose to behave, identify and act like women (which is their right). But you cannot make a Banana into an Apple. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't "choose" to be white or black or heterosexual! Also you don't "choose" to identify as a woman, if you are transgender! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as western transgender women, my understanding is that some of them take that as a slur and others do like the term. But it would be impolite to use that term in the company of a transgender woman without knowing their feelings. Best to use transgender women unless you know. Sent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app These guys don't care, if they make $4!t up or offend anybody or what is polite or best for transgenders, as long as they can feel butch and put others down! We are (unfortunately) wasting our time, trying to talk sense! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bragging about being ignorant and obnoxious towards LGBT people fits that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterw42 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) What are peoples thoughts about the following hypothetical ? Lets say a person presents at hospital in a life or death situation, their life can be saved instantly with a simple drug injection, However, there is a biologically male and a biologically female version of the drug. Take the wrong one and you die. No matter how real the gender identity is (personally I am at the identity end of the argument) there is a pragmatic aspect..

I f you decide that you are not willing to serve blacks or muslims or any other religion or race, then i will be your choice. In this case it´s better to put up a sign outside, due to that you are fair to your customers before they sit down. They would only had a bad experience and bad service anyway. On the other hand, it´s not a smart business move. A business like that will not live long, but as an owner it will still be your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then another supporter poster used transgender male for a male that had identity issues. So now I'm confused. So the most suitable thing for me would be transvestite which is the term for a man that wears dresses. Who knows these days what to address them as. Hence the problems hiring them. Because people just don't know how to address them. And they get so offended when someone gets it wrong. It's a nightmare these days trying to remember all the new names, and correct words. So I'm just going to offend people. You're black ,you're fat, you are a man in a dress, you are a woman with a beard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just to be clear: all you have to say to this is a) it is the (restaurants) owners choice and so be it and b ) it is not a smart BUSINESS move. But overall, I guess you are okay with it!

Jingthing Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 It's not rocket science. A transgender woman is a person that was born male and identifies as and presents as female. A transgender man is a person that was born female and identifies as and presents as male. The specific details and timing of the transitioning process varies with each individual transgender person.

You're black ,you're fat, you are a man in a dress, you are a woman with a beard. We could just address them as people. If we did then this from the start then the story and 23 pages of rubbish wouldn't have come about. If people don't understand the definitions of the most basic terms when discussing a topic then they really should not enter the conversation. At the very least they should not put forward views they claim as 'fact' or 'right' due to their own narrow mindedness or, more appropriately to this context, ignorance. It shouldn't take being called up multiple times to understand a fundamental definition. Just goes to show your views are not at all based on anything that could be deemed 'credible'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And everyone new their place in society. It's crazy now. I refuse to buy into it. Why are you so scared to develop with the rest of the world? It isn't a matter of opinion, it is a matter of science. From memory, the science has even got to the point where studies now show that identical twins are more often both transgender than fraternal twins. So a matter of genes, not environment. 20 years of brain research has also indicated genes may be the answer. The science is why the World Health Organisation is trying to promote the declassification of being transgender as a mental health disorder. Unfortunately, it should have never got to that point. People should just be able to self-identify. But because of people like you, who live as if the world is the same as it was when you were born, the issue got taken into the lab. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
