The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

[astfgyl]

but then you have the "Non-Binary" Brigade who don't identify either way and then you see a man but they aren't identifying as a man and then get pissed off if you use the wrong pronoun.

Have any of us on here actually experienced anything like this in the real world? A lot of it just seems to be online shite talking. Can't say I know any trans people, or anybody who knows trans people, who could clarify if people are actually getting pissed off or not.
I do have a bi friend who refuses to have anything to do with the whole pride parade though, he thinks it's a bit embarrassing.

Was saying the same thing earlier in the thread, that this stuff seems only to exist online as far as it goes for me. It's pretty much the only place where anyone would listen to that hysterical stuff. I know a few gay fellas and none of them are like that and some of them are far far worse in their own way, just like every other section of society. It isn't just anybody of the non-straight persuasion who are the offended style crew; there are pricks in every walk of life and thankfully there are rational people of every creed as well.

It's just people are so hyper-sensitive about it all and it's like you'd have to be walking on eggs trying not break the shells.
I haven't met any no, but I have met people who are straight but fully willing to take offence on others behalf. It's ridiculous.

You're ridiculous, ya absolute eejit. You are literally making a big deal out of something that by your own admission, in the same feckin' sentence, you have never experienced!

I think everyone can be accused of that to some degree. In Ireland,  if you aren't online then this bullshit doesn't seem to exist. But in America it seems to hold more currency within universities, as has become evident in recent years. So yes,  on one hand it's eejitry to get upset about it in Ireland right now,  but on the other hand,  where America goes,  the world follows,  so maybe in two or five years time it'll be a real issue here. Hopefully it'll burn itself out before then,  but who knows.

Ask the average US citizen and a majority of them will also tell you that they have never been in a real life situation, on the street, in the wild, so to speak, similar to the one Nixer pulled out of the fantastical tabloid handbook up there: "but then you have the "Non-Binary" Brigade who don't identify either way and then you see a man but they aren't identifying as a man and then get pissed off if you use the wrong pronoun."

Sure, I guess it happens, but both sides of the media circus amplify it to high heaven when anything like this occurs, and an entire cottage industry has built up out of defending/attacking each side of it. If people just knew how to live and let live, we wouldn't have to hear about it. And although the popular "centrist" discourse is now to say, "Nobody cares anymore what gender/sexuality/etc. you are!" Well, that is demonstrably just not true at all; there's half of that cottage outrage industry dedicated to caring about precisely that, generating belittling soundbites, memes designed to injure, fueling social media spates, and on and on and on.

What are you talking about?

When have you ever heard of a situation like mine where the other party involved was attractive. These perpetually offended types, just like the one I unfortunately encountered, are just a bunch of spoiled pissbabys who by and large have had it easier and more comfortable than any other generation in history but have yet somehow developed a massive chip on their shoulders.

Personally I think it's because they're ugly and making yourself uglier and displaying a bad attitude is some type of statement but they can fuck off with that shit when I'm going about my day to day business.

I agree with you Nixer, these cunts are given too much a platform.

You're right about this all effecting you if you choose to base your life in social media espically twitter

I use twitter for news really but today I saw ", trans men are men" was trending and couldn't resist viewing the shit storm that is a twitter debate.

There was one user @luwucian who is a transman but wears make up dresses and acts feminine. A woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman. Like Monty python on life of Brian, where the cast were playing women pretending to be men so they can go to the stoning.

I really need to just step away from social media in general and start watching that new GB news channel and live in a happy post Brexit world.

[Kunt 4 Life]

Christ, that luwucian 'bloke' has a nsfw twitter account @luciannsfw where he posts sexy pictures and talks about how he wants his pussy eaten out.

I would bang her for badness but would that make me a bumder?

[livingabortion]

I'm glad I shutdown my Facebook account years ago and I don't have Twitter. It's easy enough to find shit on the internet without having that.

Imagine being a real trans person, trying to deal with the difficulties of your situation, and having these types of fucking attention seeking knobheads nominating themselves as your cultural ambassador. As if life wouldn't be enough of a pain in the hole already
