Walking While Trans - The Two Things Can Be Done

Jesus Christ, the narcissism.

Most people stare at their phones when they're walking down the street, not obsessing about someone's jawline.

Last week there was a bearded man(?) walking down a busy road in pink trousers, a pink shirt showing off a hairy chest, a pink fur coat and pink boots. I looked and then went back to catching Pokemon. Got better things to do with my time thank you miss.

the same way people 'rubberneck' at the sight of a car wreck

This insane man would also make a video if nobody stared at him. He just needs attention.

IT'S LITERAL MURDER.

Yawn, the narcissistic ones are the gays here who insist they're the ones bring persecuted while trans people have it easy.....even those every study that has been done on this topic shows trans people are less accepted than gay people

Why are some of you so obsessed with hating trans people? Apparently we need 50000 threads a day attacking trans people

Honestly I'd move this to the New York bashing threads. It's a crowded place and there's some bad aggressive stuff just walking around like catcalling etc.

In NYC, no one is going to be staring at them walking down the street. People don't care as much they would like to think.

An actual woman dressed like that and walking alone at night in a large city would also attract unwanted comments, stares and attention.

I thought that's what they wanted. To be a woman.

I'm reminded of....

Uh, they're staring and approaching you because you're walking alone down a city street at night dressed like a hooker.

Real women can't do that, either.

*T*R*A*N*S*P*A*M*

These men must be unaware of the videos showing women and girls getting catcalled in their own neighborhoods just for being dressed in everyday clothes and doing regular things like going to the store.

I remember my cousin telling me about two guys in a truck who told her she had a "nice ass" and honked at her just because she was wearing jeans and riding a bike. She was 11.

In fairness, yeah, anyone walking around in stilettos in Manhattan is going to get attention

The catcalling in NY is real. There's all these dudes who size everyone up and run their mouths.

r12 for the win. Welcome to being a woman. You are either completely invisible if you're overweight or the subject of unwanted attention from men all the fucking time if you are not.

leave to women to make every thread about themselves and how they've got it worse than everybody...

unaware of the long path around men have had to take their entire lives.

boohoohoo, how cruel the world is to women.... too fragile to even live.

And he's dressed like a hooker. So yeah, people gonna stare. Women who are not hookers don't dress like that.

And STFU r16. I bet I can kick your ass. "Too fragile to even live." Bitch, please.

What ever happened to modesty? Why does every younger minority under 35 - black, Asian, Latin, gay, trans - have to bitch and complain about how hard they have it and how hard everything is? Us gays 40 and up had all kinds of awful shit we had to put up with in the old days but we aren’t victims. We just carry on.

r17 no, you would fall apart if I merely said "meow." and instead have to rely on a sexist mob to step in to save your frail and delicate sensibilities. Oh, such is the plight of being a woman. Oh, how you suffer... everyday, in everyway, all the time. Such uncouth behavior lurking at every corner that might scar the innocence of just a dainty, unspoiled, flower.

fatty mc fatty wasn't catcalled, she's invsibile, when will this injustice end. That's sexist. she's invisible. women are beautiful/healty at any size. invisible to all except those that question if the circus came to town.

LOL @r19. You are hilarious.

Trannies hate getting clocked.

R13, exactly. From a distance, people might be thinking they are a celeb or something.

r23 there's not enough distance on earth, maybe for the astronauts in orbit in the International Space Station.

R16 Your comments do not meet the standards for a sixth grade English class. If your thoughts are worth reading, you should treat them that way.

r25 I've had that poster blocked. It's a trans activist who tries to distract any trans thread with misogynistic twaddle and trying to stoke division between gays and lesbians. It's one of the various tactics he uses.

r21 lesbians, especially with masculine aesthetic, know what I'm talking about.

like when you're waiting outside a restaurant or in a parking lot for a ride and management thinks you're a suspicious guy and instead wants to you to go across the street to the poor lit crack park instead... to be stopped by cops that tell you it's closed after 7pm and there's even worse lit bus stop, a few miles down the road, through an alley where no one can hear you scream... and it might be days before their find your wounded body or corpse that will likely be written up as some nefarious exchange of your own making when all you were doing is trying to get home.

Or in general, some people give you shit, some give you undesired attention, most people ignore you and overtime, you learn (or are raised) to take most things in stride.. much of this is just the character of the city than a systemetic problem within society to crucify yourself over.

r25 Well, if you're an exceptionally bright person... you can figure out the gist of what I've meant instead of trying to invalidate my opinions because of the systemic injustices of society that doesn't grant me the same level of privilege as exemplified by the way you masterfully use your speech to lambast me with. Perhaps they truly have no value when I'm so beneath your colonial standards that I'm merely a savage in your eyes.

will me take pretty one day?

will you teach me the ways of the world, r25

do so educate me, wise one

R27 "invalidate my opinions because of the systemic injustices of society that doesn't grant me the same level of privilege as exemplified by the way you masterfully use your speech to lambast me with"

What type of vinaigrette goes best with this word salad?

R27 "Colonial standards"? Oh fuck sweetheart, take this bullshit elsewhere.

You guys are likely arguing back and forth with a bot.

r29 Oh, dear. Do I need to break it down, you're offended that I don't communicate in perfect "english" and therefore, you feel it invalidates whatever opinion I hold. It's alright if I'm one of your precious minorities to hold up as a prop of your grand benevolence for all the unfortunate, less privileged than you.. but if I desire to rise to the worth of the nobility if I must learn to write in the language of the master.

Miss Scarlet, will you teach me your ways?

r30 Where shall I take it, Rhett, oh, where? This seems a fair enough thread to exploit it. Frankly, though, on a mutual criticism, you should try expanding your thoughts and making an actual argument instead of relying on low hanging attacks with short and simplistic reactionary responses.

r31 I'm rather versatile, I'll have you know.

Discussions need to be had R31.

r33 discussions or just batshit crazy pseudointellectual masturbation... beating the dead horse hung.

If you don't block them they will take over the entire thread. They respond to everything and have no life. You can see how many posts they have made already in this thread.

r35 Yes, silence. Create a hive mind. Protect yourself from wrongthink! Attack, never engage, never ask.

If I saw a man built like JJ Watt in a dress with a wig on their head, damned straight I’d be staring.

Some trans women are not believable as women. Sorry.

R32 You can write after all! Thank you, that is so much better! I knew you had it in you! However, if you feel that formatting your thoughts in a comprehensible way somehow impinges on your integrity as a human, then just close your eyes and type with your elbows.

R30 Race-baiting is sometimes effective, but ultimately not fruitful. You are equating unwanted sex with competent writing style.

🥴🥴🥴

Trans is nothing new in NYC

This transgender doesn't understand the psychology of men or women.

And they had a duper's delight smirk even as a kid!

so many videos including OP inspired by the absurdity and desperation of what feminism has become.

that one actress sued but really, madtv should have.

I thought the Black person was a convincing enough woman that it was doubtful passerby would clock them. Her voice sounded female too.

The Asian person had stubble and seemed not to be trans but rather an Enby

The Latino person was not getting catcalled by anyone with eyes and was making that up in a Lens Dunham-esque manner to make herself feel good

The white person looked like a drag queen or a female prostitute but has a man's voice. so as soon as they spoke you knew they were trans

So, did the makers of the video at OP get permission to show clear pictures of all these random people?

How can they show all these people's faces and at the same time imply that many of these people - especially the men - pose a potential threat to the transgenders talking in the video?

I was wondering that too R56 as I suspect those reaction shots were out of context-- they were not a reaction to seeing a trans person

R55, probably in real life the black trans is clockable due to their height, the way they move and/or the energy they give off in person.

Stupid trans. They make the choice to march around in public looking the way they do, then pull a "poor little me" when normal people react negatively. Go figure.

I thought the T were all about VISIBILITY.

They don’t pass and look stupid so of course people are going to stare.

Any fat woman or even ugly woman strutting down the street like that will also draw stares.

r58 It's a setup like the originating walking vids are...

it has to be someone that is visibly trans in order to get the reaction

like it requires an attractive and exposed young woman/man to get the most catcalling as well.

there's many variables to this gags.. remember the fat suit experient craze with journalists a few years back? Did nothing for fatties either...

it's all quite laughable.

OTOH, I suspect very femme gay men have all the same problems and get rude comments about their murses and clothing choices too

R56 R57 I don't think this person thinks things through to that extent.

The delicate "Charlotte" Clymer demonstrates the art of walking while trans.

It’s a shame so many trannies get killed for not revealing they have a penis to their homophobic black Johns.

Not the problem of 99% of the public.

r71

Pure grace, r67! Why, it's as if we were watching Eve Herself walking out of the Garden of Eden!

What's your point, R77? There are plenty of stories out there of women and kids being assaulted and killed every day.

You guys realize ONE person has posted over 40% of the posts in the thread, correct? It's the trans activist troll, and he loves to camp in these threads and post until he wears everyone down. Just block r77 and you will see.

But the TRAs, especially on DL, love to proclaim that trans get so much dick.... STRAIGHT dick to boot!

Having strangers stare at you is just part and parcel of being so desirable.

We're dripping in snatch!

,,,,,

Preach, sister! Just dripping!

^God, that thing is scary.

what must someone who's trans and Asian feel in NYC!

R28 I don't see you on my roster, and you clearly haven't taken the necessary prerequisites.

This probably happens to other plastic surgery victims, as well.

This is some Kardashian style narcissism. wow.

I was waiting for them to get murdered.

I’m learning to just turn my head the other way when an obvious trans woman or man walks by. But if I saw Caitlyn Jenner walking around sans notoriety, it would be hard for me not to gawk. He doesn’t look like he’s a woman.

look at me.

I said, LOOK. AT. ME.

STOP STARING AT ME!

^OMG, that's trans attention whores in a nutshell. LOL. Perfect.

Sometimes I feel like these men are complaining because womanhood is not like it is portrayed in the movies.

I remember an article a year or two ago about a de-transitioner who said he thought once he was a woman he would be taken out to brunch with girlfriends a lot and was disappointed that women didn't actually do that stuff.

No shit, Sherlock.

Look at ME!!!

COSPLAYING so my victimization can be my only reality, while sucking every bit of oxygen from the room every day of my life!!

Please, the template of "TransWomen of Color- The Ultimate Victim and Only Marker of Progressivism" is as tired as those weaves.

Next!

R93, that's exactly it. It's a fetish.

"I thought all the hot guys would want to fuck meeeeeeee (tantrum)"

Which other mental disorders involve walking around like this?

It places the lotion in the basket

R94, when Bruce Jenner accepted his "Woman of the Year" award, he joked about how he 'relates' to women because of how hard it is to glam up --- make up, hair, nails, evening gowns, heels. To trannies, that's what being a woman IS. It's putting on a Jessica Rabbit costume. They have no idea that real woman don't dress this way.

Given the Trans Acceptance Month, Trans Day of Visibility, Trans Day of Remembrance, Pride Month (now Trans month), Nonbinary Visibility Week, Nonbinary Whatever Day, Trans Week of GoFundMy Top Surgery, the demand for trans to be in every television show and movie in parts where they are totally normal but also super hot and sexy and solve mysteries or something and no one suspects they're trans until they reveal it, and Trans Hour of Power, I think they might want people to notice them.

Oh and I forgot Women's History Month and Women's Rights Week and other woman-focused events that must also center trans at all times.

r99 is exactly right. Transwomen are confused about what being a woman truly is about. It's not about the hair and make up and revealing dresses/outfits. And that they think that is what makes them a woman is hilarious. I don't know a single woman who dresses like the guy in the vid, but I've seen plenty of hookers and porn stars who do. There is no possible way that a trans person can know what it is like to actually be the opposite sex of what they were born into. Putting on a costume that makes you sort of appear to be a woman is not being a woman. If a transwoman can try bleeding once a month with cramps/mood issues/depression and waking up every two hours in the night to change your tampon so it doesn't bleed through your underwear, maybe then I'd say they have a tiny bit of an idea of what it is like.

"I've always felt like I was the opposite gender...which I've never been one day of my life, but I still know I've always felt like one based on....well...things!"

^ THIS!

People who need constant validation are not mentally healthy in any way.

[quote] I remember an article a year or two ago about a de-transitioner who said he thought once he was a woman he would be taken out to brunch with girlfriends a lot and was disappointed that women didn't actually do that stuff.

We do this in college when there's an abundance of spare time.

Enough with the trans. You're giving them way too much attention.

Right - so, first off, I would have to assume the trans are typically tall - particularly in heels. That makes you stand out.

Second, people will just look at people on the street - it doesn't mean anything, but I feel like they're thinking every glance is someone trying to figure them out. No, it is not. People are just trying to navigate through the city.

Lastly - some, not all, but many trans women dress VERY DIFFERENTLY than real woman. TONS of makeup in the daytime, flashy outfits, very high heels - that's not what real women wear in the daytime. But they try to be so over-the-top 'womanly' in their mind, that they become a charicature.

They stick out because a) they typically do physically stick out and b) they also dress to bring attention that bio women don't.

The lack of self-awareness is really amazing sometimes.

Walking down the street with a camera crew. Why would anyone dare look?!

R111 - that's the other thing. They're pointing a camera down a street - do they not think that people will look into it.

If there was a hidden camera - sure - but they don't show that so you don't know what people are reacting to on the streets.

I'm not saying people don't stare sometimes - but this seemed to be a lot of manufactured drama.

This is a teenage mentality to perceive all eyes are watching you. New York is a place where everyone is self-absorbed. I can understand maybe in a small town where it's more cliquish and there could be a serious threat. But NY culture "I mind my business, you mine yours."

bell hooks (may she RIP) called out how trans women will engage in feminine stereotypes that women have worked hard to fight against. bell got in hot water for criticizing Madonna and Beyoncé for commodifying sexuality and sending a capitalist message to young girls to sell their sex for validation. bell is pro-sex but she also knows that these messages to little girls can be damaging to their self-esteem. Spice Girls and Britney Spears similarly got criticized by feminist groups. It's weird how female activists have worked hard to spread the message women should be equal to men and stop being confined to hyper-feminine stereotypes that the mass media pushes all the time. But trans women want to be hot thots with high heels, overdone makeup, skimpy clothes and prowl on Grindr and other apps to get a lot of sex. They say "sex work is real work" and glorify pornography. I'm not shocked there are a lot of "str8" men who dig them because of that. It sorta irks me because it's all just reinforcing gender roles at the end of the day.

I feel like I need shock therapy just listening to them

Had to stop watching after he talked about his jaw. Pure narcissism. Wow.

Look at me ! Look at me, dammit! I’m being persecuted by people looking at me. Can’t you see?

Watch what happens when I walk down the street holding a camera at people passing by.

It's no big deal to transition. Just mutilate yourself in every way and voila, you're a woman.

Did you just look at me?

Did you?

Look at me.

LOOK AT ME!

[bold]HOW DARE YOU!!![/bold]

Close your eyes!

*don't look at me* ....You ARE Beyoootifoowooolll en AVrriii singul WAAAeyyy, Oooohhhooo.

[quote] the template of "TransWomen of Color- The Ultimate Victim and Only Marker of Progressivism" is as tired as those weaves.

The holy trans trinity is a trans sex worker of color.

bumpits

R114 But there are more actual women who behave this way than the trans population combined. You can’t get mad at trans women for doing something women are doing. They’re not the only ones creating this fantasy of oversexualized gold digging sex workers.

R123 We can't get mad at men appropriating womanhood? Transwomen have no idea of what being a woman is. They weren't born in a female body, they didn't grow up in a female body and they don't live in a female body. 'Woman' is not inclusive. You have to be female. No males are women. They might want to be but it's never going to happen. Women are born, not worn.
