Several transgenders who I know, always envision themselves with like goatees and other typical attributes that shape them into this trucker guy look.

And I just don’t get it and spare me the whole “that’s just what they wanna be” responses. Because, there are other male models to ideally go for than just that. I personally don’t find the look attractive myself so I can’t really care that they go this direction.

That isn’t all that a guy is anyways, that isn’t even what it usually takes to look like a guy.

    I didn’t have a problem with the question, but I really have a problem with this comment.

    It’s like an insurance policy for assholes.

    All I hear is: “I just said a thing, and I think other people might find something wrong with it, so I’m going to preemptively insult anyone who calls me out, so instead of listening to why my statement might be problematic, I can say ‘See! I was right!’”

    The bygone era you speak of, wasn’t freedom to talk about anything, it was a fear of standing up against the norm. It was a time of silently allowing assholes to spread hate because defending the outcasts would make you a target, and I say farewell and fuck off to that era.

      This ‘preemptive’ insult you call it, is basically knowing what’s going to happen. I saw the downvotes incoming ahead of time. I knew people weren’t going to take to it well because they saw it as an attack and did. Now, several responses back and forth between me and other people. I was right. You guys DID take it as an attack and you’re all acting on it so. You decided at will to decipher it as an attack and here you all are defending yourselves, presenting all sorts of made-up arguments that weren’t even made and assumptions of things that weren’t even said to defend yourselves against.

      Call it foresight. If this question stood on it’s own with no responses and none of me. SOMEONE would throw the first fucking stone, don’t deny it, you know that it is true.

      Excuse me? That’s quite a revision and again a twist of context that I swear I knew you’d pull to do. Wow, just wow. See what I mean? No you don’t.
