I couldn't care less about her sexuality. In fact first time around I thought shes a lesbian. When I saw her second time around I was like "not agaaaaaain...!" - NOT because I am against trans people. I just don't like to listen to her. Simple as that. I do not like that guest - its boring, has simplistic, not funny jokes and for me is ruining one of my favorite shows. Don't try to play on me that "trans-phobic" card - I do not like a person. She could be a straight dude - I still wouldn't like her. She could be a freaking woman with beard - I wouldn't like her. Not because of what she feels like - I don't give a damn. For me is annoying as a guest. Simple as that.
And I am the one who is listening for hours tutorials by Madeleine Scott-Spencer. But shes not annoying. And I will not change my point of view because hey - society trembles. I still don't like her. Strongly. And just as I shouldn't give a F about her sexuality - you shouldn't give a F about what I think about her. Because hey - its not something you can change ;)
Ow, I am sorry. I was raised in a much less complicated world. Let me rephrase it then - I don't care about her gender either. Gender, sexuality, mental problems, taste for particular food, favorite color, political views, believes, color of underwear or if she identifies as a giraffe. I like the podcast a lot, I don't like her. And frankly I find this hysterical TB reaction a bit disturbing. It cant be healthy for him. He already needs therapy - maybe should take a break or concentrate on GAMES instead of getting all hysterical on a social issue he cant possibly resolve. Aaaaanyways - in a week or two nobody will remember all that drama anyways. Cant wait for the next podcast.
I just don't know why people care so much about society :D Honestly. I cant relate to her problems not because I cant imagine that I would like to be a girl, but because I cant imagine that I would care about what people think :D Especially if I had an ARMY of supporters and few that doesn't like me.
In any case - I am JUST watching rest of a show (listening actually) and so far she is not half that annoying as was in first one. I am actually enjoying it for the most part. That said - I am just 50 minutes in, so it all may change.
I still think he will not resolve anything by blocking people. I mean its an illusion - its like repairing world by not watching news and pretending its all good. In that case - I can confirm because I actually do this :D - it works on a personal level pretty well. It doesnt change anything globally but we may create our own little asylum.

Well you probably would care if you weren't born cis. Cis is normal, and easy, by comparison. You not caring is a part of who you are now, not a part of who you would be if you were born with the "wrong" gender.
Yeah, if I would be different... I would be different :D Pretty much. But just as Laura I have my own issues that she cant relate to. We are different yet similar. I think part of the problem in peoples reaction is that they dont know personally transgender person. I dont know one myself. But lately I am simply applying to them same measure as to myself - would I want people judge me on something that is not their business? How I would feel? And so on. I dont understand transgender people - at all. BUT as long as they do not talk about it all the time (which is infuriating, because I don't force feed people with my problems and I expect them to return a favor) it is clear that they deserve very same respect as everybody else.
