@justinabittle Of course, many of us also understand that trying to force the entirety of human experience in all its depth, variety and beauty into two simplistic categories is reductive and inaccurate.
There are too many natural variations of human for "Male" and "Female" to cover all.
@justinabittle "Human souls are gendered, male and female. You can not change your gender by changing your body. It's in your soul. I am aware that most of yโall donโt agree with that."
Most of us agree with that.
@justinabittle Trans people would broadly agree with the idea that their gender is in their soul; the trouble is that unlike you that soul doesn't match the body it's been forced to live in.
People with views like yours wish to deny that soul, which unchangeable, comfort and happiness.
@justinabittle You have come within a hair's breadth of understanding what trans people experience here, and then have run off in the opposite direction!
Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house.
Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it.
Leave him to me.
@lyllalanerd@farawayquarry13 This usage, as a Noun, is where the word can be offensive, whether in short form ("Trans") or full form ("Transgender"). It's not so much the word that is offensive, as I've felt it and as others seem to understand it, so much as the way in which it is used.
@lyllalanerd@farawayquarry13 Now, to give some different examples -
"She's a Transgender"
"It's a Trans"
"Transgenders"
In these examples, "Transgender"/"Trans" is used as a Noun. It's not describing being trans as a characteristic, it's dehumanising. You're not "A Trans Person", you're just "A Trans".
Just logged back in for the first time in months (I forget this place exists) and seems any DMs from the past 2 years have just vanished.
If you wish to contact me then might I recommend Instagram (@NashTalyllyn) or Facebook Messenger (Nash Djn) as there's a chance I'll see it!
More railway enthusiasts should be aware of this tbh - I see a lot of praise for Locomotive Services Ltd but it's worth bearing in mind what their owner supports and what he funds to the tune of millions.
A man who uses his private train to entertain key far right figures.
@askhamhall1772 The owner of LSL, Jeremy Hoskings, is one of Reform's biggest donors & has invited the likes of Tommy Robinson & Lawrence Fox onto railtours...
The actual staff who keep LSL running are likely decent human beings, but sadly a lot of the profit will be going to fund Reform.
@ginglejugg37952@Jay_racer11 You literally said it in your comment, which didn't come across as a joke; I know nothing about you other than what you've posted. My apologies.
idc how much you love harry potter. separate art from artist does not apply when the artist does this.
her imminent endgame is halting trans adult healthcare.

@ginglejugg37952@Jay_racer11 It's pretty well-documented that trans-based porn is very popular amongst people who actively work to make life more difficult for trans people. It's what happens when you view people purely as sex objects.
People who are violently transphobic often consume trans porn.
These people are the definition of stupidity. Imagine having beef with Luke one of the most kindest, honest people I have had the pleasure of calling my friend for many years. If you agree with the people in these screenshots gtfo of my face.

@Tay_Boop@Expl_Cookie Clearly they've moved on to others, but I don't know the details of that. All I know is that if someone's decided to call them out then credit to them. I've got a decently thick skin and, as Luke has said, can take it. That doesn't make it acceptable.
@Tay_Boop@Expl_Cookie A group of individuals referring to themselves as "The Holden Boys" basically decided that Luke, Myself and a whole bunch of our friends were the evil to end all evil. They have extended that to the Talyllyn Railway as a whole. I don't understand why, I've nver met them!!!
