Yeah, try again. It's a friggin medical condition, also known as GID. https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/gender-dysphoria#1 It's not "identifying as the opposite gender" so much as it is feeling severe anxiety and depression because you aren't the opposite gender. Don't make light of it. |

Rimmer_Dall 05/26/18 9:13:06 PM #159 | QueenCarly posted... Identifying as anything other than the gender you were assigned at birth is what defines a trans person No, that's the tumblr definition of transgenderism. Tumblr has people who say they identify as dragons too. I don't care. Gender dysphoria is a serious condition and these pretenders are pretty much just openly mocking the people suffering and all too often committing suicide because of the real deal. I don't even have a drop of respect for these tumblr trenders who call themselves trans without even suffering from a hint of dysphoria. |

No, if they were born women they wouldn't need sex reassignment surgery to deal with their dysphoria. If they were born women they wouldn't have any gender dysphoria to begin with. This is a beyond ridiculous statement. |

Rimmer_Dall 05/26/18 8:42:56 PM #137 | shockthemonkey posted... Your entire argument here is to put the blame on the minority because theyre a minority. It's not fucked up in the least bit. It is perfectly normal for some people not to want to have sex with men, and chances are they will know whether or not someone is a man on sight. No need to ask beforehand. It is perfectly normal for someone not to want to have sex with women, and again there's very little chance of this happening by accident. No need to ask beforehand. Conversely it's perfectly fucking normal not to want to have sex with someone who used to be a man or used to be a woman but no longer is. Since this is not clear in some cases disclosing this fact should be expected so that there are no misunderstandings and nobody feels like they've just been fucking violated, because they're probably not gonna ask beforehand because they expect you to have always been what you look like you are. |

Let's pretend for a moment that your belief that flipping a coin twice leads to a guaranteed 100% heads. How many people have sex with 333 people in their lifetime? How reasonable is it to expect someone to ask every time whether a potential sexual partner was born the gender they look like when it's so unlikely they'll ever end up having sex with one even unknowingly? |

Rimmer_Dall 05/26/18 8:19:48 PM #128 | shockthemonkey posted... Were talking about scenarios where neither being trans or not wanting to sleep with trans people is disclosed. In the particular case where person A doesn't want to have sex with trans people and person B is trans and doesn't want to have sex with people who don't want to have sex with trans people, person B revealing their status as trans prior to the act would consequently lead to person A revealing that they both don't want to have sex with person B and that they're a person that person B doesn't want to have sex with. |

Let's say you're trans. You want to have sex with someone. But you know that person doesn't want to have sex with trans people. In fact, that person has outright told you they wouldn't have sex with a trans person. Then you have sex with that person without telling them you're trans. Is it rape? Hell, is it immoral at all? |

My entire point was that it is reasonable to go your entire life without meeting someone part of a demographic that is a fraction of a percent of the population. You're the one pretending it's impossible due to you not understanding how math is done. |

Do you live in Siberia or something? Right now where I live people are pretty much going around half-naked. Also, I don't count "Being in the same city as someone" or "walking on the same street as someone" as having met them. My definition of "met" involves some form of IRL social interaction. |

I said many people go through their entire lives without meeting a trans person. I used an example of a demographic that is even more common than trans people and that are more immediately visually obvious than trans people and that people have gone through their entire lives without meeting as an example to show that not having met a trans person your entire life is perfectly reasonable. You went on to demonstrate that you think that if you flip a coin twice you have 100% chance to get heads. |

Rimmer_Dall 05/26/18 7:38:22 PM #95 | shockthemonkey posted... ...do you realize how few people youd have to meet to make it statistically likely that you havent met a trans person? Just going by your numbers, youd have to meet less than 400 people in your life. This is not how percentages work. If an event has 1% chance of occurring and you go through 100 iterations you don't suddenly have 100% chance of that event occurring. This is even more true with things that vary geographically. |

Rimmer_Dall 05/26/18 7:14:00 PM #89 | shockthemonkey posted... Do they? Or do they go their entire lives without someone telling them that theyre trans? The former. The US has a disproportionately high number of people who identify as trans and it's still only about 0.3 percent. Compare this statistic to something more immediately visually obvious, like vitiligo which between 0.5-1% of the world's population has. I can vouch for the fact that I've never met anyone with vitiligo. |

If I pretend to be, say, my twin and have sex with his girlfriend, does that mean I haven't committed rape by fraud unless she first asks me whether or not I am actually her boyfriend? |

Rimmer_Dall 05/26/18 5:22:27 PM #49 | Cal12 posted... Why in the fuck would this be offensive to women who had stillborn children? That makes zero sense. From what I've seen (admittedly on twitter), pro-life women are the ones most likely to call people who've had abortions murderers. I have seen a few who've cried about themselves having had stillborn children and being horrified that other women would inflict that on themselves. |

What caused the movement were all the major sites refusing to allow anyone to talk about it and the influx of "Gamers Are Dead" articles. Most people had no idea anything was happening until that. What the Gerstmann event among others lacked was the Streisand Effect, which is what finally made the masses aware of just how corrupt games journalism was. Also, Zoe Quinn is a liar and has been caught multiple times sending herself death threats. |

There have been memes made about how loudly he's complained about the lack of FOV sliders, campaigning for 60FPS, etc. etc. He was the loudest voice with the greatest outreach, getting devs and publishers to listen to complaints PC gamers had been ignored on for years. |
