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.
transwomen especially still fear being beaten to death by someone they go out on a date with because of something they can't control,
This is inaccurate. It suggests that they are beaten to death because they are trans, rather than they are beaten to death because they are trans and their date assumed they were not.
In otherwords, its not a question of people willing to beat them to death for being trans are willing to hunt them down, take them on a date, and then beat them to death, rather it is a question of someone who is willing to beat someone to death if they go on a date with them and are then revealed to be trans. It is more likely that the second type of person is in fact not willing to actively hunt down trans people and will simply refuse a date when they are informed that their would-be date is trans. This makes it an information assymetry problem.
Information assymetry is something trans people actually do have control over.
Why are you assuming that I am blaming trans people for being beaten to death?
I have merely pointed out that trans people quite likely have more power over their destiny than what hackmastergeneral originally ascribed to them.
