Frosted Flake posted:Sex ≠ Gender. I always love when people trot at this picture, as if to say that all trans people are violent sociopaths who just want to bludgeon cis people to death with a baseball bat. Fun fact! As a trans woman, I'm much, much, much more likely to be assaulted, raped, or murdered than you are, unless you are also a trans woman! Hooray! Pictured: a violent, deranged, transsexual sociopath (me).

Frosted Flake posted:Splitting washrooms by sex isn't a perfect system, but it works. There are too many variables with transgendered people to make washrooms co-ed. How can you determine if someone has transitioned enough to use the washroom of the opposite sex? If a transman still looks like a woman, it doesn't seem like a good idea to let her use the men's room just because she feels like a man, especially from a safety point of view. That's some drat fine misgendering you got there Frosted Flake posted:I'm sorry that you feel that having different washrooms for the two sexes is a great injustice. Maybe more places will have family/handicapped washrooms in the next few years. You're right, let me go back to all of the different therapists I've had over the years, surely one of them can make me finally be ok with my boy body. Alternatively, maybe you're just an rear end in a top hat. Also, to go along with the other trans woman pictures, here's CeCe McDonald: CeCe had the bad luck to be with other queer friends one night when they were attacked by a group of white supremacists. During the attack she killed one of the attackers. She is now serving 41 months imprisoned in the all-male Minnesota Correctional Facility - St. Cloud for manslaughter. This is your punishment for being black and trans in America.

Frosted Flake posted:That's okay, I forgot that transmen are biologically female. They are though? At least some of them anyway. I have a trans guy friend named Nick who hasn't started hormones yet, so should I go against his wishes and call him a girl? Similarly I'm a trans woman who's been on hormones for just about exactly 11 months, but I still usually present as a guy for personal safety reasons. What pronouns should you use on me? If I meet someone like Lana Wachowski or Laura Jane Grace or Chaz Bono, have they sufficiently transitioned enough for me to call them the way they want to be treated? At what point does a trans person cease being one sex and become the other? Who gets to decide? Are you the Grand Arbiter of Gender and should I always ask for your judgment on these matters? This is David Reimer. Although born biologically male, he was raised as a girl following a botched circumcision that left him without a penis. He was experimented on by psychologists to determine whether or not gender is learned at childhood, including being forced to have simulated sex with his brother. He later learned the truth about his condition and began living as a man. In 2004, at the age of 38, he killed himself with a sawed-off shotgun. Tell me, what pronouns should I have used for him?

LordArgh posted:What's the point of putting "*" at the end of trans? Essentially it's a wildcard to include the entirety of the transgender spectrum, since "transgender" and "transsexual" are not synonymous. Also Frosted Flake I used to be a creationist, fundamentalist, and homophobe back when I was younger. I have since realized that I am trans, and as a result have done an incredible amount of soul searching. Believe me when I say that I have spent far more time thinking about this than you can even imagine. You cannot possibly define gender in such a way as to invalidate transgender identities while still maintaining your current definitions of "man" and "woman". Seriously, just try it.

buttcoin smuggler posted:I've never found myself completely convinced by this cause. Many women are made uncomfortable by males in their bathroom. There are also documented cases of men sneaking into women's bathrooms to commit sexual assault, a problem which this law presumably seeks to address. (I'm not sure how effectively, but still, there seem like non-discriminatory concerns that would motivate such a law.) There's never been a single documented case of a person pleading defense using an existing transgender protections bill after attacking someone in the opposite-gendered restroom. This is also in direct opposition to an Arizona bill that would bar people from entering the bathroom of the sex not listed on their birth certificate, when Arizona is also a state where you can't change the sex on your birth certificate ever. In other words if you've lived in Arizona your whole life, no matter how much you have transitioned you are still legally required to use your birth certificate room. I'm with you on single-person bathrooms, but unfortunately that's pretty much a pipe dream. Incidentally, do you want to know what I do in the women's room?

Ongoing right now: the DE Senate is debating marriage equality on the floor. The House passed it a few weeks ago and Gov. Markell has given his support, so if it passes today Delaware will be the 11th state in the union to legalize same-sex marriage. According to my partner, an activist here in Delaware, there are 21 total votes, 9 have been promised to support same-sex marriage, 7 have been promised against it, and the remaining 5 are up in the air. As a queer Delawarian, I so hope my state does the right thing.

I love reading about nuclear testing and Tsar Bomba is probably my favorite of them all just because of how insane it was. The fireball had a radius of 5 miles, enough to nearly destroy the plane that dropped it. Its zone of total destruction had a radius of 22 miles. A town 34 miles away was completely destroyed, third-degree burns could have occurred 62 miles away, and windows in Norway and Finland broke from the shockwave. Had it been detonated underground it would have produced an earthquake of around 8.1 magnitude.

While we're on religious site chat: This is the Salt Lake Temple, the center of the Mormon religion. About ten years ago my family went on a family vacation to Utah to visit extended family and among our stops was the temple. It's honestly an incredibly impressive building built on a beautiful stretch of land. Unfortunately as I am not a Mormon I was not allowed to enter the temple, but even so it's worth visiting if you're ever in the area. Also fun tidbit: because of the significance of the site, many Mormon couples choose to be married inside the temple. There are so many that the church runs 24/7 weddings, meaning that regardless of time of day, you'll see multiple bride and groom pairs running around the grounds. It's actually kind of adorable in a strange way.
