You’ve clearly never read jack shit about the subject.
Shocking, Disturbing Restaurant Assault Vid: Woman Allegedly Beaten Into a Seizure As Employees Laug
Why do you keep bringing my name into it? What the fuck did I do?
If you cared about them, you wouldn’t be trolling by using the masculine pronoun. Your intent is to antogonize and to smirk. I don’t care if that’s how you want to view the subject, but don’t pretend you have any concern about their feelings.
Wow four in a row. I only posted so that you wouldn’t make it to five.
You had to say that, didn’t you? Now he will never stop. 
Dio, I’m just playing. Nothing intended by it.
This here was a real dick post.
They couldn’t know for sure, but she probably seemed transgendered, or transvestite to them. Since she’s had prostitution convictions in the past, she may have been working in the neighborhood at some point.
Not if it’s been surgically removed.
If I were to learn that the transgendered woman exposed herself in the restroom, used a racial slur and then slapped the two women it wouldn’t much change the verdict in the case. I’d forgive them their initial slapping of her perhaps but as I said before, the fact that they came back again and again is why they need to be in numbered jumpsuits.
Like MOL, I would also like to know how the idiot child who filmed (and later facebooked) the whole thing knew this girl was really born a man. And I’d also like to know what REALLY started the whole thing (the victim admits she was intoxicated according to the news report where her interview tape was located). If it really was that they were somehow beating on her because of her gender status, then they had to have known her from before, because it’s not *that * obvious she’s a guy.
Well, I don’t know how Idiot Child knew, but on the video, when the white woman referred to the victim as “she,” Idiot Child (I think–could have been one of the two standing next to him, but I think it was Idiot Child), burst out laughing with “That’s a man! That’s a man!”
Whether she was “post-op” (as if there’s one op, which there isn’t) is irrelevant. She’s a woman, period. Because she says so.
I’m glad you’re leaving it now. While you’re gone, think about why you think that you have the requisite knowledge or understanding of the topic to allow a phrase like “I don’t believe that…” to come out of your fingers via the keyboard. What you believe, in your vast ignorance, is so far beyond immaterial that it’s painful that you even bothered typing the words.
Even back when I believed pretty close to Steophan, I still would never have been such a jerk to refer to someone by a different gender than the one they preferred. You don’t accomplish anything by using the “wrong” gender other than pissing people off.
Bullshit. It’s exactly what a lot of people need to learn to do. Explain things in a way that would make sense to the other side. Come at it from their point of view, even if their point of view is wrong.
Mentioning Dio’s inabliity to let something go is something you can count on 99% of the SDMB to agree on, even if, in this case, he would be far from the only one arguing, and would not be wrong to do so. You can always bring it back on topic when we get more information, or just if you want to talk about it.
I’d do it myself, but I’m not sure what else is left to talk about.
Wait. I did think of one thing:
I wonder if the law mentioned regards pre-op or even post-op transexuals as their preferred gender. I’m pretty sure some states don’t, and that would mean she broke the law, even if, in my opinion, she was right to do so. (And there’s no way those other people should have taken the law into their own hands–as if that was even possibly their motivation.)
Eer…so by this reasoning I can use the ladies changing room next time I go swimming just by repeating “I am a lady”?
I don’t want to get into a transgendered debate, but I think that’s going a little too far to one end of the spectrum…
There was nothing in Inner Stickler’s post that was remotely suggestive of Joey P’s bullshit. It was pure projection from a member of the Douchebags with Sticks Platoon, and an example of how you dipshits carry this fucking tiresome bullshit from one thread to another trying to provoke shit.
Knock it the fuck off because it is fucking played out. The board does not need your Douchebag Show stick-poking shit anymore.
Now, let me ask you straight up whether you, Joey P. and PlainJane agree with Steophan’s assertion that there is no such thing as a transgendered person. I’m going to assume that since you are taking up his defense in this thread that you do, and I am thus going to mentally mark you down as a completely regressive shit for brains.
Otherwise, if you don’t believe that, then you all are defending the position that there is no such thing as a transgendered person simply for the pure sake of poking Dio with sticks, which makes you look even fucking worse.
This all puts me in mind of a case in the UK, when a couple of completely inoffensive cross-dressing ‘girls’ in the Welsh valleys were attacked by drunken thugs (who had already been involved in a barney just up the street).
One of the girls was caught by a surprise blow, followed rapidly by three or four hefty punches and a few solid kicks to boot!
Fortunately the scene was captured on street surveillance video (see below).
You can hear a few words from one of the poor girls - Daniel(le) ‘Lights Out’ Lerwell - in the page below. (Suggestive moniker eh?)
- and no, your audio is not on the fritz. (If you were expecting Richard Burton!)
These ‘Valley Girls’ eh? - though I’ve heard you have some in California as well?
Anyway, the story has a happy ending in that the yobs were later rounded up by the local plods and carted off to gaol.
Just goes to show that no-one is above the law - (of the jungle that is!)
I’m waiting for the two purveyors of racial justice (Rev.s Sharpton and Jackson) to weigh in on this!
Not wanting to hijack this, but is that seriously the situation in the USA? Two women are kicking someone on the ground and you have to worry about hurting them if you intervene?
I got in the way of three women who were kicking at a fourth on the ground a few years back, fortunately without getting hurt, but I was certainly ready to punch full force if they’d turned on me. There were plenty of witnesses to back up that I was preventing an assault if it had come to it.
In cases with lots of unbiased onlookers you might be okay. But before you’re so sure about the egalitarianism of the law, check out how it responds to domestic violence by men vs by women.
Bwahahahahahaahaha. Man, that was two pretty solid right hooks in less than 2 seconds.
