"Ticked-Off Trannies With Knives"

[NYTSJulie]

The new film "Ticked-Off Trannies with Knives" will be shown at the Tribeca Film Festival. The movie is being protested by trans women who find the word "tranny" offensive.

I personally don’t find it offensive in anyway; do other girls here think it’s an offensive term?

Speaking of terms...I find the word Transgendered extremely offensive, it horrible. It’s a term that came out 10-15 yrs ago by the medical community. They came up with the word that covers anyone gender different, from a married crossdresser to a post op stealth woman; in their eyes we are all just the same. Well, I have worked far too hard in my transition to be given the same title as some 60 year old grandfather who cashes in his 401k and gets a sex change, or a married heterosexual man who wears women’s panties.

I think it looks funny as hell. So, no. I'm not offended. I think people really need to worry more about why American kids can't read or do basic math, or why this country is steadily sliding down the shit tubes.

As far as "TG" goes; the grandpas you mentioned are not only the worst examples of a "TS". They also usually have the biggest mouthes, and appoint themselves to explain what transsexuality "is". Btw ever notice that they get that surgery in countries where no psych test is required? That's because more than half of them are bored old pervs who can't prove they're sane. lol

Not sure how, or if this relates...but I'm veggin' out the other night watching the tube and one of those shows American Justice was on a cable channel. ( MSNBC) Anyway, it's a trial about a lady who injected too much silicone and later died. There were 4 trannys who were witnesses in the case and the narrator kept referring to them as "he" or Him and using their male names rather than the names they went by now. It was clear to me these ladies were well along in the transition and actually looked pretty fucking good. For a network that is in a partnership with "The Advocate" it just seemed rude, insensitive and crass. Maybe someone should send the reporters to sensitivity training? It just sounded creepy. I'm hardly an overly senstive guy and hate all this PC shit, but damn man...call the lady by "her" name !

ive noticed TS and CD/TV are very different from each other. i have many TV clientelle that almost become friends with me but ive noticed i cant relate to them at all. they are very different from a typical TS girl. i can even relate much easy to GG than TV

just my 2 cents worth

The biggest difference between TS and CD is; TS transition because that's who they are inside, but CDs get a passing sexual thrill from clothing. I can't relate to CDs at all in that sense.

I relate more to drag queens, who are not getting dressed to simply get a hard-on. My gender identity is who I am on the inside. Before my parents explained to me at the age of 2 that having a penis means "male", I just assumed that I was female. lol I also feel NOTHING romantic for women. I could never marry one or be in a lesbian relationship. I have zero interest.

Does this movie have any kind of extreme violence in it or is it just a comedy?

[Nicole Dupre]

As far as I can tell from the previews, it's just a comedy.

I think protesting this film would be like Al Sharpton protesting "I'm Gonna Git You, Sucka"

[Tepres]

I agree that the people protesting the title need to get a life.
Too bad it's just a comedy. The title sounds like something that Herschell Gordon Lewis would have made. Though his movies did contain a lot of unintentional comedy.

... or Russ Meyer. lol

Btw, most of the titles of the DVDs here are also offensive... outside the context of porn. "Shemale" is a very offensive term outside the porn and escort businesses. Pre-op drag queens, who wouldn't be caught dead untucked on a stage, will bare all for an adult photo-shoot. Because, like with most things, there's a time and a place.
