Like, even from people that are fucking awesome about everything else.
It never seems to cross peoples minds to be inclusive towards trans women.
It never seems to cross peoples minds to acknowledge trans women.
It never seems to cross peoples minds that without inclusive…
Using the correct pronouns isn’t “special treatment”. It’s the same treatment you get every d@#n day. And it matters.

It is NOT okay to try to force me into my assigned toilet. I use my preferred toilet on the risk of being beaten up every day, do you really think I will change my mind just because you say so?
Actually there are situations where, while it might not be ok, it is necessary. For instance we had one “girl” who was a massive pain in the ass. By that I mean she was the type who gives everyone else a horrible name, everything from flipping out at coworkers when they mistakenly called her him to yelling at a manager over the same thing. Now normally we would ignore this, she might get written up for yelling at a manager but other than that we’d deal with it. However the longer she worked with us the less passable she got, almost as if she had stopped taking the hormones no big deal right? Wrong, in our industry customer relations are very important and when you start creeping out customers this is a problem, “So just move her to drive through or the grill?” well she refused to learn the grill and even though drive through worked for a while we began getting complaint of her using the woman’s bathroom. Shouldn’t be to hard just ask her to check for customers first or ask her to sue the men’s restroom. We did and she refused to do either of them and ended up yelling at the Store Manager. A simple request in an industry where happy customers are everything and you yell at your boss because he made a reasonable request with logic behind it. She then went as far as to threaten to sue the company because of getting fired. We ended up putting her on indefinite leave so it’s like we fired her but she can’t do anything about it because we didn’t really fire her.
And you’re calling her a “girl”? and trying to justify it?
Nope.
Yeah…. hate to break it to you mcwork3r but you are an ass, and using cissexist, erasing language to justify your position just reinforces that assessment.
I was treated basically the same way at my last job, and I am not the type to yell at managers and such. That said I do reserve the right to correct those who misgender me becuase as an employee(and a human being), my right to be given such basic respect as bothering to get my pronouns right is more important than that of other employees to be too lazy, or too arrogant, or simply assholes. And yes they pulled the bathroom shit with me too. Once again, my right to be safe and comfortable trumps your right to be a transmisogynist asshat. If customers are unhappy , too bad, my life should be endangered and my comfort ignored just so a few (“god-fearing” I’m told) customers can be “comfortable” to practice their religious “values” at my expense… fuck that. It got to the point where I was told not to use the women’s bathroom. I contiuned to use it anyway and when asked about it, I told them the law is on my side on this one (which it clearly was) and “if you can prove I’m doing something illegal, call the cops, otherwise have a nice day.”
I put up with enough insults and rudeness from customers (they didn’t even bother to hide it), and I had to hold back from telling them to fuck off. I think you’ll find that I have little concern for what the rude asswipes have to say about my bathroom use or anything else that directly affects my dignity as a human being. Note that putting genders and names in quotes makes you an ass.

“Chemical Evolution”… is wrong :s
Dr. Richard Kent claims that “chemical evolution” is proof that science is wrong and thus we should teach religion in schools. The claim goes like this…
“Chemical Evolution” requires that everything started with hydrogen and eventually all the other elements (all oh… 118 at the moment, I believe) came from hydrogen. The problem is, Dr Kent claims, that we “have never seen one element become another”… thus all elements were created as they are now by (non-specified intellegent creator).
Problem with your hypothesis Dr. (what’s your degree in, theology?), apparently you are unaware that the elements after uranium (#92, hence why they are called “transuranium elements”) are human-made, many of them with very short half-lives that can only exist for a very short time, in ideal laboratory conditions. They undergo radioactive decay to become other elements, we can observe this. Not to mention we have definite scientific proof of reactions such as fusion/fission that can be observed, resulting in changes to the element in question. E.g. hydrogen ==> helium in the core of our sun, without such a reaction we would not exist… hell, stars create a host of other elements necessary for our existance (carbon, oxygen and iron, for example) by using fusion to change one element into another heavier one… I think Dr. Kent needs to do some reading, learn some more basic chemistry before he tries to prove it doesn’t work.
-Apparently he’s a medical doctor… and he doesn’t know about radioactive decay? Wow! :o remind me to never go to him when I’m sick, I’d rather trust a Doctor who is familiar with basic chemistry.
Science vs Religion
Note to those who don’t know:
There really is no debate. Most people of most religions can reconcile their beliefs with science, there are plenty of scientists of all religions who practice real science and accept what is true and provable (evolution, cosmology, plate tectonics etc…). Those who believe there is a struggle between “godless atheist scientists” and true believers are in the very tiny (though loud, I admit) minority. Please come join us in the 21st century… :s

Dear gay male porn blogs:
Please stop reblogging trans women’s nude photos.
We are not dudes.
Thanks.
Amen. Also, lesbian porn blogs? Why do you reblog nude trans men?
All of this
