It seems crazy to allow slurs here for a class of people that are being reviewed here. Sometimes the only way you can help people see beyond their harmful and hateful actions, is by informing them of how much suffering the people they're harming are constantly going through....I noticed something really interesting about your comment, you didn't say anything about Eliot_Spitzer's slur in post # 2 being wrong or inappropriate, nothing at all about that.

So what you’re saying is you paid $200 to suck a guys dick. Originally Posted by JacubusDid you read the post on how TS's consider being referred to as a male is derogatory and highly offensive? Post # 4 gives a hint as to why. Many have gone through hell and back, and actually continue through hell daily, to become and to be known as a "female" with a cock. Many throughout the country take that a step further and have their gender changed from male to female on their drivers license, research that on Google. Each day cities and states all over the U.S. pass laws to protect that specific "class of people" (transgenders).

Slur: an insulting, offensive or degrading remark, often based on an identity group such as race, ethnicity, religion, ethnic, gender/gender identity or sexual orientation. Originally Posted by dfwtsfanAgain... not a slur.
Saying I sucked a dudes, guys, or in any way a males dick, is a slur to that "class of people", and an epithet to me. I don't suck mens dicks, I suck TS dicks. Originally Posted by dfwtsfanI'm sorry you have such low self esteem that you're so easily offended. No shame in blowing another guy... perfectly normal sexual behavior.
You should be ashamed of yourself. Hopefully providers do their research and read your posts before an appointment, see what kind of person you really are, the hate and malicious intent that's inside of you, and avoid you. Do you feel like a big man now? Originally Posted by dfwtsfanArguing with someone who's mental issues make it difficult for them to define "female" or "male" isn't really an achievement.
So educate us genius. How are the two not mental disorders centered on self image? Originally Posted by texassapperGlad you asked.
When women have body dysmorphia and starve themselves we recognize that as a mental illness. Originally Posted by texassapperSo you have actually described two separate disorders that the DSM-5 categorizes differently. Body dysmorphia is actually classified under obsessive-compulsive disorders because it is accompanied by obsessive thoughts about a perceived flaw in one's body. If we're using body weight as an example, a woman may be unable to stop thinking about herself as grossly overweight, whether she is or isn't. This would typically be accompanied by compulsive behaviors to lose weight which could include limiting diet, excessive exercise, or even cosmetic surgery. Crucially and what makes this an OCD is that these actions would not bring her any relief, they would never fix her perception in and of themselves.
But if a dude wants to believe he's a women, we call it stunning and brave. Originally Posted by texassapperLastly, this is called gender dysphoria, not dysmorphia, dysphoria, and it is called such because it does not carry the negative connotations of something being "wrong" or "flawed" that dysmorphia does. The person has a strong correlation between how they see themselves and the gender expression of another gender, stronger than the one they were born with. Crucially, and why it is no longer called a disorder, is because measures to ameliorate that disconnect actually reduce the negative symptoms the sufferer experiences.

Slur: an insulting, offensive or degrading remark, often based on an identity group such as race, ethnicity, religion, ethnic, gender/gender identity or sexual orientation.
Epithet: an offensive word or name that is used as a way of abusing or insulting someone.
Saying I sucked a dudes, guys, or in any way a males dick, is a slur to that "class of people", and an epithet to me. I don't suck mens dicks, I suck TS dicks.

It seems like the offensive—to you and most in the TG community—is the use of the term is “dude’s”. I can respect that and as a matter of courtesy and respect will refer to a TS person as female if they identify as such, but I know I’m my mind that person has XY chromosomes that as of now can’t be changed. However, I think your lengthy commentary about how straight people should in your opinion think is excessive. Perhaps you can not be so sensitive to someone who is confused with the distinction between sex and gender and try to address the matter in a less “preachy” way on how you think we straight people should think.
All that said, I appreciate honest reviews and yours was that. Originally Posted by AndyDufresne
