Members alphanguy74 Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) honey... "tranny" is the abbreviated word for "transgendered". It's only only innappropriate if it's used as an insult by a strsight person, neither of which applies here. I refuse to be strangled by politically correct dogma. I'm talking about what Whoopi was saying prior to that exchange you posted. Edited December 18, 2014 by alphanguy74 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) well I was talking about this exact exchange Oh and TRANS is the abbreviated word for Transgendered. Tranny is just as foul as calling gays the F word or Blacks the N word Edited December 18, 2014 by John 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 A lot of trans people also see it as an insult when it comes from gays... As for Whoopi, I would agree with her about race, but as with many other topics, her view is tainted, given that she was fine with Ted Danson parading around in blackface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alphanguy74 Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 You all need to respect the colloquialisms of the older generation, instead of trying to force us all into your self righteous submission. If it's not meant as an insult, don't take it as one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 When folks in the Trans community say Tranny is an insult I listen to them and dont use but Im from a different generation Bull-[!@#$%^&*].

Members alphanguy74 Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Then go to your parents and grandparents and tell them the exact same thing. And I've had many a gay man call me "fag", I never take offense in the least. We're all family, we can talk to each other as such.

Members alphanguy74 Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Yes, and I wasn't talking about you. Let's see you berate Cher for calling Kathy Griffin a "bitch". Isn't that a term that is meant to denigrate women? BTW.... in case your'e dense.. when I said "family" Most gay people of my age refer to ALL other gay people as "family".

Members alphanguy74 Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) My whole point was try ordering your parents and grandparents how to speak, and see how well that goes over.

Members John Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 I would never do that with my Parents. However you are not my parents and comparing this situation to them does not hold water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wales2004 Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 Hate may be hate but I don't think the comparison is the same. I personally get put off by someone comparing being black to being gay as though black gay people don't exist. I could go on... Raising a black child is defintely not the same because now we're not even talking about first-hand experience. We're talking about either being saddened by a child's misery or someone's hateful stares or words that are still directed toward that child. Mothers can feel pain for their children but I don't believe the can feel their children's pain. Instead of trying to discuss these things through a prism of being able to "know what it's like or what it may feel like," maybe people should figure out that being the subject of discrimination or being an outcast is awful. So now that we understand pain and suffering exists go forward with possible solutions. I wholeheartedly agree that racism should be a topic open to everyone. A person does not have to have experienced any of another person's experiences to know that it was bad or awful. If I fall and scrape my knee, no one needs to tell me that he or she fell as well to be able to say too bad for me or get up and stop whining about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) I was not bringing up gay people and saying Black people dont exist. My cousin fosters a black girl and she had racism in her face and her home was vandilized and she got letters telling them hey N lovers leave the neighborhood. Is that not first hand experience Also Gays have also been discriminated, murdered, hung, dragged by cars etc just like blacks. They are both horrid experiences but this my racism is worse than yours so I win [!@#$%^&*] has got to stop Edited December 18, 2014 by John 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
