    That only happens to you here, and not because of any sexual or other classification, but because you're a fuckwit who had a chance at a serious discussion and blew it. You. Not transsexuals, not gays, not queers, you specifically are a fucking asshole and everyone treats you accordingly.

    And even then you made 90% of it up in your mind because I think you just enjoy the image of yourself as a hero struggling against the evil combine of white, cis, straight men.

    If those two links lower down are the best evidence of the hate then this is the most overblown thing I ever saw on here. I really don't want to get into discussions about that myself, but while I might not 100% agree with either @Polygeekery nor @boomzilla in there I don't see either being hateful or completely unreasonable in those examples. Certainly not to an extent where it would warrant that threadnaught, let alone letting it leak out into the rest of the forum.

    Same here. I had already written a lengthy reply to @Fox (telling him where I agreed with him, where I didn't and where he was definitely going too far), but then decided not to send it to avoid getting caught in the crossfire, because I'm pretty sure both sides would have disliked parts of my reply. Also, I wouldn't be able to explain my views properly without sharing a lot of information you really should not share with a forum full of trolls.

No the response is going to be "Get the fuck out of my house and never come back again!". You know some of us actually have a problem with people been lying arseholes.

  • @Maciejasjmj said:

    AFAIR the whole mess started with @Fox bashing people over the heads for having their sexual preferences wrong and broken - namely, that we find transsexuals a turnoff.

    No, that was the strawman the other side set up so it didn't have to deal with what Brer @Fox was actually objecting to, which is the claim that non-disclosure of trans status is not only legitimate cause to be "fucking pissed" but amounts to a serious deception: serious enough, in fact, to render consent to sex uninformed and invalid, thereby making any consequent sexual contact amount to rape of the "deceived" by the trans non-discloser.

    Yes, that's a claim that tortures reason until it howls. No, it's not an unfair or exaggerated paraphrase of what Polygeekery said, and Fox's first contribution to that thread was a completely clear and specific objection to it.

    There are endless reading comprehension fails on display in that thread. Very, very few of them are @Fox's.

    It's Matryoshka strawmen!

    So you're arguing that deception in an intimate relationship is not a reason to be pissed off.

    What are you expecting?

    Well dear the penis was a bit unexpected so I'm afraid we'll have to cease the relationship here. Lets hug and I'll pay taxi fare home for you.

    I have no problem rehashing the same pointless argument over and over again with Fox (although I think he may of spotted I'm trolling him now) but when he starts throwing around fictitious and scurrilous accusations about our characters for having the audacity of non-conformance to his viewpoint then things become problematic. He even has the gumption to drag it into the lounge. He wasn't in there five minutes and people suddenly became worried about PII for the first time in an internet age.

    @DogsB said:

    He even has the gumption to drag it into the lounge.

    Which is, honestly, the only problem I have with anyone discussing any damned topic around here. For example, most of the political bickering here is about US politics, which I have even less interest in than usual, and it's pretty low anyway. But that shit is contained in their own threads most of the time. If it pops up anywhere else it either a one-off troll post or it gets rolling in which case it either gets Jeffed or I just leave and all is fine. Same with gun control stuff.

    But this shit is everywhere lately. Every damned thread has at least one trans joke. I find them tiring, but I'm tolerant of them. I'm sure some of my jokes piss many people off, too. But that's something I can just scroll by and ignore, no big deal. But each and every one makes me flinch, not because of the joke, be it tasteful or not, but because I'm just waiting for the moment the whole thing will get derailed into this topic on account of that one post. Which is why I had that blowout in the Go thread recently. All of you who interact with me daily for what, almost two years now, know that's not something I do. That's not who I am.

    Also, @Fox, I have nothing against you, nor your views, whether I think they are valid or not. But you almost made me flag one of your posts for spam today. I never, ever even thought of doing that here unless it was some marketing drone pitch thread, which we do get from time to time. In light of that, I would like to respectfully ask you to contain criticisms of people's views on-topic (whatever it is in any given thread) and either cross-quote stuff into that disaster of a thread that's hard to link to or hash it out in a PM or whatever.

    serious enough, in fact, to render consent to sex uninformed and invalid, thereby making any consequent sexual contact amount to rape of the "deceived"

    Fuck, now I have to write a reply. Deceptions of any kind are bad, and a valid reason to be very angry. But if there's one thing I cannot stand, it's people who broaden the definition of rape.

    I really don't want to get into this, but let me just state that I know the difference between actual rape and having been in an intimate relationship with a person who deceived me in every possible way from personal experience. If you think those two things are even remotely related, you have no fucking clue what you're talking about. The shame and guilt you feel after being deceived for an extended period of time sucks as well, but is not even remotely close to what rape does to you. Hint: One of the two can be processed by distracting yourself for a few weeks and somea lot of Scotch, the other experience will still be affecting your mental state decades later.

    So, again, if you seriously think broadening the definition of rape to sexual encounters you regret is okay, no matter whether you're an overzealous SJW ("sex without an explicit contract is rape") or a transphobic asshole ("fucking someone after reconstructive surgery without telling him about it is rape"), do the world a favor and die.

    Fuck, I'm going to regret posting this.

    Well, then you might want to inform @Fox of that, since he's right now arguing a completely different point - namely, that one shouldn't be angry at transsexuals that get into one's bed by said deception.

    Which is the kind of sheltering bullshit that does the community a disservice, frankly - trans people catch enough flak from those who don't try to sleep with them, trying to justify and force others into accepting without "throwing a hissy cow" the seriously shitty behaviour that might well leave some people fucking traumatized just makes others look at the community through this prism and think "wow, those are shitty human beings!" Which they don't deserve in general.

    @asdf said:

    You don't see a difference between "the guy turned out to have a 8cm penis" and "I'm a heterosexual man and I just touched someone's dick"? It might not be rape by textbook definition, but it's not just a "sex you regret" either - I mean Jesus, some people would be downright traumatized because of that, and yet according to @Fox they can't even be visibly pissed about it.

    Some people need to stop being fucking sissies and google the definition of traumatized, because the excessive use of that term is annoying. I already regret replying, since the very first post after mine already tries to equate unwanted/embarassing experiences and rape. Wow.



  • @asdf said:

    Yes, I think this counts as an "emotionally disturbing experience" with potential to cause "lasting shock".

    Some people need to stop setting fucking rules as to what you are or aren't allowed to be traumatized by. Just because you maybe wouldn't care about it that much, doesn't mean nobody else would, or that nobody else should.

    @asdf said:

    For fuck's sake, you might just be embarassed, someone else might not get into bed with a girl again because they remember the incident! You're the asshole who tries to equate the situation with going into bed with a guy with a short dick!

    Strawman, BTW. I never said that. But now that I think about it, if you're that easily traumatized, both experiences might be traumatizing to you ("Oh my god, I have a huge vagina, guys won't feel anything and neither do I, I'm too embarassed to ever have sex again!"), so why not?

    I'm not setting rules here, I'm just doubting that would cause serious trauma in most people.

You're the kind of person that would tell the girl who got into bed with a guy and got knocked out and violated that "meh, that's what you wanted, right? You're so easily traumatized."
