    Poll: Would you date a transgendered person?

    Ok, this seems to be where you're going fundamentally wrong. You don't seem to understand that there are sometimes legitimate reasons for disliking people, and sometimes there are not, and the defining aspect of either group isn't how much decision they had over it. Broadly-speaking, it's ok to...

    Poll: Would you date a transgendered person?

    You do realise that just because you're dropping one set of constraints, it doesn't mean you can easily settle into another bunch? I mean, this isn't simple maths, drop three constraints, pick up three more, as simple as that. Whilst some people, I will concede, could probably live as males or...

    Poll: Would you date a transgendered person?

    Wow... this is so ignorant and transphobic, I don't know where to start. I mean, I know accusations of bigotry are thrown around a lot when discussing race, sexuality and gender, but some people really merit these accussations. I'm surprised more people don't see it. Seriously, if you think...

    Poll: Would you date a transgendered person?

    This is so hilariously transphobic I wouldn't know where do start. Do you think a MtF transperson is a dude who randomly decided to live their life as a woman? You do realise it's more complicated than that, yes? They identify as female, despite being in a male body. Comparing them to a drunk...

    Poll: Would you date a transgendered person?

    Ummm... Matthew94, other than hyperbole and exagerration for comic effect, I'm pretty sure I didn't say not finding transpeople attractive made you a bigot. In fact, I'm fairly sure I made it clear (as in I actually stated) that that wasn't my view. My argument is that, of the people who claim...

    Poll: Would you date a transgendered person?

    It's amazing how aware people are of their prejudices and how they still, for some reason, are unwilling to change them, or acknowledge it as a failing on their part. It's- I'm not sure what the word is for when people do that, but it's probably not a very pleasant word. I've seen people on...

    We've lost our faith in humanity.

    Heh, touche, touche. :P

    We've lost our faith in humanity.

    Wow, sounds like someone's lost their faith in humanity. Or maybe they just didn't have a whole lot to start with. :P Heh, but yeah, whilst it's tempting to give into your cynicism, I think we can strive to be better; we'll probably always have stupidity, but the effects of it can be minimised.

    We've lost our faith in humanity.

    See, I'm not sure I agree. I think we have got better, in a sense. We're more open-minded and accepting and more prone to fairness. However, it's a bit like if there's a dude who murders, lies, cheats, steals and generally acts like a dick. If, one day, he stopped murdering dudes, you'd say it...

    Heh! You are a funny man. More people should listen to your wisdom.

    We've lost our faith in humanity.

    The thing is, I don't deny the good stuff that's happening, when you think about all that humanity has achieved, it's difficult not to feel proud or awed. However, that doesn't negate our bloodied and horrible past (or present) and, whilst I don't hate on humanity all the time, I'm not sure I...

    We've lost our faith in humanity.

    Firstly: I'm not saying that Nazis should represent all of humanity, but it's a cruelty that humaity has been shown to be capable of. I'm not just talking about the ones actively involved in the persecution, by the way, this includes all people who knew what was going on and who either did...

    We've lost our faith in humanity.

    I think there is some level of hyperbole to it, but at times it seems rather justified, does it not? If you're reading about the horrendous treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany, I think you're kinda justified in saying that you that your species and going on about the bottomless well of evil that...

    White Knights, the true enemies of sexual equality.

    I don't think it's the worst kind of sexism, but it's still pretty bad. However, I'm also annoyed by how white knight tends to be tossed around a little too much, particularly towards male feminists. But yeah, doing good things for someone BECAUSE they are female is sexist. I mean it should be...

    What do you think when you hear the word "transexual?"

    A person whose sex does not match their gender... surrounded by hateful and ignorant people, sadly.
