Some thoughts I have about this article:

1. This man should not have been sentenced for being trans. That is just WRONG. His crime is statutory rape. He should be jailed for statutory rape and not for fraud. From where I got this link there were some people who said that there was no rape because the girl consented to the sex. Obviously they would rather give stupid comments rather than do their homework first. An adult having sex with a minor is statutory rape whether the minor consents to it or not. Yes, she’s fifteen but lied that she was sixteen. She’s a kid! Kids are supposed to make stupid mistakes! It’s part of growing up. The rapist, however, is an adult who lied that he was sixteen. Stop blaming the victim. She’s a victim, and she’s a minor. He, on the other hand, is a creep.
2. It’s not cool to lie about being trans so you can take advantage of other people when your fellow trans people are fighting for equal rights. You are making the whole trans community look bad. Your fellow trans people deserve better than that.
3. A lot of commenters from where I got the link argued against the victim’s transphobia by saying he didn’t have the obligation to tell her he was trans. While I do think the girl may be transphobic because she accused him of fraud, I do believe that it was her right to know that he was trans before getting more deeply involved with him. No, it is not transphobia to want to know the true gender identity of your partner before having sex or getting into a relationship with him or her. It’s just relationship common sense. And while it hurts that discrimination against trans people are rampant, each of us has a right to our own sexual and relationship preferences. We shouldn’t be demonized for it because these preferences are personal. Trans people are not being demonized if they want to go for cis people. Why should cis people incur wrath for their preferences?
   
   People were arguing that love should not be based on gender or biological sex. While that may look like a good ideal, unfortunately, that is quite a naive statement. If I prefer cis men, I should not be forced to have a relationship with a trans man who lied about being cis. And since I prefer cis men, I should also not be foreced to have a relationship with a lesbian or bisexual women. Trans people, or anyone for that matter, should not be forced to be with anybody who doesn’t wholeheartedly accept them for who they are. I’m sure normal, emotionally healthy trans people would rather be with partners who love them for who they are.
   
   Just because a person is a member of an oppressed group doesn’t mean we should be forgiving of their deception. The guy is a creep for taking advantage of a minor, and he’s an ass for lying about his true identity so he can take advantage of her. Imagine if you found out that your boyfriend or girlfriend of four years is actually married. Imagine finding out that your fiance/e does not want to have kids while you want to have a family of five. Withholding or lying about important information hurts other people. If you can’t be honest about important matters to your partner, you have no business being in a relationship.

I intended to take a hiatus that will only last over the Christmas break, but it gained momentum. I felt too lazy to blog for the longest time, but I feel that I just have to post this.

Yesterday I had a conversation with some men who strongly dislike it when women shave their hair off. They said, “It’s just not nice if women don’t have hair.” A few people in the spiritual circles I belong to also express similar sentiments. “She’s ugly because she’s bald,” “She’s not hot because she doesn’t have boobs,” “She would have been attractive if not for her manly tattoos,” “Trannies are aliens/mutants/monsters/etc.” stating their thoughts as if they were facts rather than merely personal opinions. I kept silent before, but now I am speaking up because I am dismayed that this is very pervasive. Of course people freely talk to me about those things because I fit society’s standards of beauty — long black hair, slender, cinched waist, proportionate features, breasts bigger than a C-cup, and smooth skin. If I didn’t have all of those, the people around me wouldn’t be so approving of me. If you consider yourself spiritually evolved yet you are too blind to see beyond the person’s external aspects, think again. Being spiritually evolved is not handed out to you just because you join a group or you attend a class. You become spiritually evolved when you learn from your experiences, expand your heart’s capacity for love and acceptance, and make your ego the servant of your higher self rather than the one that calls all the shots.

Still NOT asking for it.

“We (men) are not fucking sharks!

We are not rabid animals living off of pure instinct

We are capable of rational thinking and understanding.

Just because someone is cooking food doesn’t mean you’re entitled to eat it.

Just because a banker is counting money doesn’t mean you’re being given free money.

Just because a person is naked doesn’t mean you’re entitled to fuck them.

You are not entitled to someone else’s body just because it’s exposed.

What is so fucking difficult about this concept?”

WORD.

I would totally put my face 4 inches from her chest and scream, “I’M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!” And I’d make a point never to take my eyes off her boobs until she got so uncomfortable and creeped out that she decided to leave, go back home, sit on her bed in the dark, and think about how completely stupid she was to write “STILL NOT ASKING FOR IT” while asking for it.

This woman’s a disgrace.

But she’s not asking for it. This is a human body, nothing more, nothing less. It’s not being sexualized, in fact, she’s covered her nipples too. I’m sorry, h-plus, that you feel that your body and the body of other women should be considered a disgrace. Do you feel uncomfortable when looking at pictures in the doctor’s office of a woman’s naked body? And do you, leftybegone, get uncontrollably horny at the same sight? Control your python (or garden snake), man, you’re not 12. Have some maturity over the matter. If you did that to that woman, leftybegone, you’d just be putting a bad face on us guys, making us seem like sex-crazed, immature horndogs. Maybe you are one, but I’m tired people making that assumption of us as a gender. It’s disgraceful. She wouldn’t think it was stupid of her to do that if you did. You’d just make her movement more powerful.

Rape (noun):the crime of forcing another person to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse.

Men aren’t primal fucking animals. They’re humans that are completely capable of resisting their urges. I bet you (leftybegone) are a kid with some serious hormones since you, obviously, can’t control yourself.

“She was asking for it”. Really? Can you really blame an individual for someone else’s lack of control? The mere fact that a woman is more likely to be assaulted if she wears certain types of clothing does not make it right. She could walk around naked and that still doesn’t excuse rape. The solution to the problem is not for women to “dress less slutty” but for men to realize that a woman’s choice of dress is not an open invitation to sexual assault.

but then again, its kind like putting a meat suit on and telling a shark not to eat you
