So, Legend, are you saying that an adult has the right to mace a kid who is being obnoxious? Yes or no?Quote:

I was born this way- I HAD NO CHOICE. If I had not done this I would most like be DEAD by now. I had absolutely no choice in the way that I was born- how effiminate I was and how I naturally acted like a girl and suffered dearly for it growing up. I have always acted and had the same manorisms since I can remember, I just simply chnaged the physical apperance to fit my actions, behavior, and mind.
Was it my choice to be taunted, bullied, and abused by other kids fromt he time I was five years old for being so feminine and living with that abuse until I was 16? NO
Was it my choice to have been beaten up by a gang when I was 18 for appearing to feminine? NO. I was beaten up, my skull cracked and was called a fag all the way through it. That is a HATE crime.
I was simply born a way that I could not hide or change, it's just who I am and trust me I have paid the price for it. I am a lucky one that I was able to transtion which indeed has been a blessing as far I am much more happier but that does not mean that I still can't face discrimination and social stigma.
Are you really suggesting that violence towards transsexuals does not exists in our society today?
Maybe you have never seen a transseuxal woman hung in public, tarred and feather but I am sure you are very well aware that transsexuals are indeed STILL murdered (in public) sometimes as the case of Lateisha Green, was shot and killed by Dwight DeLee in Syracuse, NY in 2008 because she was a ts.
What about Leslie Mora, who was attacked by two men in Queens this summer as she was going home. They beat her with a belt right on the street as they called her 'faggot, left hr bloody and cowering on the floor' until a car stopped and helped her.
What about Carmella Etienne who was simply walking on the street a few days later in Queens also ,when two men began to assult her throwing bottles and rocks at her? And when she threatned to call he police
"One of the two men responded, "The police don't care about you, they won't do anything to us," and began to pelt her with bottles. Another shouted at her, "Don't ever walk that block anymore or we will slash your throat."
As you can't change your skin color, I can't change my gender and who I am.
So please- as you are educated in the the history of the plight for equality of blacks in this country-you should become a little more educated on LGBT issues and what WE have gone through and go through still.
It's definately not the same struggle, nor am I comparing it- BUT it is a struggle- LGBT people are one of the most marginalized groups in this country with lesser rights than any other citezens in this country.
:roll: Might I remind some of you that the bitch slapped one of her OWN FUCKING KIDS!?! So it's ok to use violence as the mother, but when a stranger kicks it up a notch everyone wants to scream bloody murder? Please!!! If you smack your kids upside the head as you verbally antagonize a stranger, ESPECIALLY FOR SOMETHING AS SUPERFICIAL AND INNOCUOUS AS THEIR GENDER IDENTITY OR THEIR CLOTHING, you are basically stomping on a landmine!
Case closed.

Meanwhile, far more African American kids are being praised in today's social climate for their "street credibility" and being grandfathered in to "urban culture". That's the irony, unfortunately.
Let's be honest. Almost everyone with a dick gets a pat on the back for wanting to join the army, become a cop, acting "thug", or fist-fighting. But if you don't, you get reminded of how there's something "wrong with you" by a world filled with inhumane scumbags. People just love to tell you what your "problem is", when often they themselves are the real only problem.
I was humiliated, often ganged up on, and beaten throughout grade school. I had a large bottle thrown at my head at age 16 from a passing car as I walked alone in a gay neighborhood of Manhattan. I've had friends who've been beaten and raped, or were made to feel so badly that they simply destroyed themselves. I've had my life threatened on more than one occasion. I've been beaten, choked, and had a tooth bashed out of my face as an adult.
And at this point, I'm not getting clocked but it still never ends. I went to the hospital ER about 6 months ago, and heard a variety of improper comments. And forget about a job interview - all it takes is one background check on a SS# to be shot down for an "unofficial" reason.

The point is, they were all menacing her and felt the "need" to "make" her feel threatened. Once human beings watch a mother become violent with her own children, as she relentlessly antagonizes someone minding their own business, you've put that person in a fucked up position. Don't expect indifference.
I cant believe she actually tried to compare the two. Many of my family members are in the ground because of the "color" of their skin.
And so are some of my friends.Quote:

Get it right.
Quickly to roll your eyes at my experiences and those others who have been victims of hate crimes.-and you claim to have people you know lost their lives as hate crimes? Then you have learned nothing.
Well perhaps in some people minds killing a fag, is a lesser than killing a black or a jew. Do the math
Seriously, do you think the victims we've mourned are going to play second fiddle in our hearts to the ones you have? Are you saying that racial hate crimes are less OK than other types of bigoted hate crimes?Quote:

Well, Jesus 'did the math' some two thousand years ago. He said something like "That which you do to the least of my brethren, you do unto me". I would hope that no one is really minimizing hate crimes, any hate crimes. The contest is not about who was treated worse; its about who can treat the most people with fairness and dignity. It also says somewhere in the Bible to, not judge people by appearances. Both Blacks and LBGT people have been often judged by appearances. Sometimes people are judged because of someone elses appearance or behavior in the same community.Quote:

Allanah, you missed something very important that I said. I said SOCIETY WILL ALWAYS LOOK AT TRANSITIONING AS A CHOICE! Personally, I hope someone turns that tape over to the police and they go looking to arrest that trannie. If a cop was present, she would be in jail. And no cop is gonna tell that mother her kids got what they deserved. But I'm not surprised at some of the fucking human sewage on this forum that subscribes to that point of view. Some shit just dont change.Quote:

Nevermind the fact that the bitch lacked enough maternal instinct and strength of character to give him some love or guidance, which might've prevented any of it from happening in the first place.Quote:

You just can't compare the two because of the whole slavery thing. That is a huge difference, and one that cannot be ignored. If someone can show me an instance of trans people being rounded up by the hundreds, put on ships, and then sent to countries to be put to manual farming labor I'll reconsider my view on the subject. Coming from a family that owned slaves, I know exactly what that institution entailed and am not about to say that a group "had it worse than that" just because of all the commonalities as far as violence, discrimination, and stigmatization are concerned.
I disagree with your lynching example. Lynching is when a mob attacks someone and kills them without using a trial to ascertain whether or not they committed a crime. Using that definition trans people have been, and still are lynched in America from time to time. As common as blacks had it? No, but there's also a 14 fold population difference here. Blacks represent 13-14% of the population versus 1-2% for trans people. Yet even with this massive difference in population, it would be easier to find examples of trans lynchings within the last 15 years, then black lynchings- except perhaps cases where the victim is both. There are commonalities as far as violence & discrimination are concerned... and in the case of the later, discrimination against race was (on paper) outlawed way before it was against gender identity (which is still largely legal in the United States, to say nothing of the world).
NONETHELESS, this whole "who had it worse" crap is:
1- counter productive. Do we really want to bring race debates into trans issues when being trans does not care what color your skin is?
2- a red herring. Really, has nothing to do with what happened in that train.
At the end of the day this parent, and I do use that term loosely here, was incapable of raising her kids to be polite, productive members of society. You simply don't allow your kids to go around insulting strangers... and this girl was criminally out of line in macing a KID who posed no threat. Whether we are sympathetic to the girl in the video or not, she shouldn't have maced the kid.
Macing a kid, I bet he's really proud of himself for doing that. I hope they find him and will press charges against him.
Ive sent my pictures to many women on here. Ask around dearQuote:

But anyone who has a need to use a politician who won the election as their avatar is probably a knee-jerk moron. You're no better than Belial, who felt the need to hijack a thread with the opposing viewpoint to yours. No matter what, the trannies had to shit it up to satisfy BOTH of your retarded asses. Well, sorry if the transsexuals here are not making you the poster child for discrimination on a TS forum. In addition, you're certainly no Dr Martin Luther King OR Obama. You're a broken record. If you want to dwell on race, you're on the wrong forum. On here, as long as they have a cock and are girls, that's what the criteria is. They can be green, and somebody would jerk off. I mean, there's already a few "Black Tgirl only" threads. And the video in question was a black on black "crime". So can you drop it now, Al Sharpton? Good fucking LORD!
So now where are you off to? A gay Jewish forum? An Asian lesbian forum? Dumbass. :roll:
10 Fucking pages of this bullshit are you kidding me..?? Do any of you live in LA or ridden the LA transit system here..??? Prob not so heres my 2 cents... This is nothing new...its one of the reasons i dread taking the subway here in LA or through any minority neighborhood because this type of behavior is rather standard fare. I cant tell you how many times I've seen Tg women disrespected on the train going to Hollywood for no reason other than who they are. & while i cant condone maceing da kid I totally understand...The minority youth in LA are beyond outta control & their parents tend to be no better with very lil respect for just about anyone or thing. Truth is she probably should have maced the mom instead. People are always saying it takes a village to raise children..well there you go.. A village member laying da smack down sort of speak....
And I care because... ?Quote:

But transsexuals are still struggling for the same rights as both gay AND black people, and that's fucking pathetic.

Depends on the situation, if you have some kid who is out of control and won't listen to any adult then mace is probably the best thing to subdo the monster without having to use real force.Now in that video i would have told that little kid to be quiet but i wouldn't have maced him but that little shit kept messing with her, so she did some parenting of her own.Bottomline, you don't mess with people you don't know, that goes for kids and adults.Quote:

I really don't see much of a difference between the transvestite and the kid's mother. They look pretty much the same.
Hey, if it isn't our old resident expert on human sewage, Echimandu. And of course, the reason why you're such an expert is that you're the biggest mound of human compost on the planet. So which one of your multiple personalities are you today? Did you just get released from jail recently? How many guys in the joint made you their bitch? I'm guessing you got passed around more than gonorrhea in there.Quote:

pretty crappy mace took forever to kick in and the guy sitting right behind them just calmly walked out like nothing happened. should buy some pepper spray that would clear out the whole train
At least in the "rattlesnake" situation, you can predict what's going to happen if you keep fucking with it. Provoking a person like that , you just don't know WHAT they're gonna do! This could have escalated into something much worse than a simple macing.Quote:

The fact that they kept pushing anyway is a reflection of some very poor parenting, IMO. Some people just shouldn't have had kids in the first place! :smh
Ohh your a fucking fool, being transsexual is not a choice. Before your on the hunt for tranny cock I would think you would know a thing or two about them.Quote:

We as transsexuals are not even seen as people we are seen as perverts. Most can’t find jobs, relationships and are disconnected from their family. They are forced to suck cocks and fuck fat old men in their dirty asses in order to eat. There is no community it’s all shade most of the time. This can vary from girl to girl but this is the situation for most, and I bet this is the situation for the girl on the train.
Someone said something about picking cotton, I doubt that tranny on the train could even get a job doing that. Blacks in 1850 were able to find strength in their community, transsexuals in 2009 can’t find that. Blacks in 1850 married and had children; in 2009 transsexuals seldom have that.
I am not trying to make a comparison, all minorities have had their struggles and the hate endured was parallel, but the one thing that separates us from many minorities is the simple things in life, love, relationships, family and community…..many of us don’t have those things, but the blacks, Jews and other minorities did. Complied with all that we have a disconnect in gender, and the inner turmoil is something that cannot be explained in words. It is a given for most people and something they don’t even think about.
Truth is many transsexuals live lonely unhappy lives and die from hate crimes, suicide and some from aids.
here is an example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yrw-J0rQkc
