    In an unfortunate way, Caitlyn Jenner is great proof of equality. Everyone, from any background, gender, or orientation, has the capacity to be garbage.

      She’s also a stellar example of inequality and the mechanics behind it, imo. Being a trans woman has not made her a champion of queer rights. Belonging to a marginalized group doesn’t automatically make you a good person or even a non-oppressive person.

      I actually think it’s a societal issue rather than an intelligence issue. As a society we boost celebrities and put them on a pedestal almost deifying them. While at the same time we create a poisonous world and also ignore mental health. So of course people will follow celebrities like a religion hoping to bask in their glory at worst and change their life at best.

      With Caitlyn, she should’ve faded to obscurity years ago and a better society would’ve ensured she needed for nothing. She should at least feel a sense of responsibility but again, capitalism is all about trampling on the weak and getting ahead.

      Until we eradicate monetary wealth and support mental health as a matter of course at all levels, things like this will happen and people like this will thrive. We have to end capitalism for a better tomorrow.

      Disagree. Caitlyn Jenner fucking sucks but we don’t have to invalidate her perfectly legitimate, valid, and real gender identity to express disdain for her

      Don’t drag the rest of us into her shit. Being trans has nothing to do with why she’s a shitty person. We’re not here to beg for your approval before we get to be who we are, and we don’t need it. Pick another hill.

      All you’re doing is telling other trans people that their gender recognition is conditionally valid only on their good behavior, and that it can be revoked if they piss you off. Maybe consider why this would make trans people feel unsafe with you, even if they are on your side politically.

      it is not okay to deadname people for any reason (as everyone under this post already has stated), and if you do this again on the instance you will be banned from Beehaw for at least a week.

    • If you needed a trans person to come tell you this is not okay: hi! Here I am! Don’t do this. All it does is advertise that you view using someone’s correct name as a privilege that can be revoked for bad behavior.

      It’s never okay to dead name. Even people you find despicable. Dead naming isn’t about them, it’s about you… like being polite to wait staff.

      do you also think it’s okay to, say, use an N-word for Black people who commit crimes?

      I think it’s totally okay to ban you for crap like that. Maybe that’s why nobody makes me a mod any more 🤔

      Anyway, you’re a transphobe.

          And you make her being trans an avenue of attack, so you’re a transphobe. Same as if you’d call a black person you don’t like the n-word.

      I think it is totally okay to dead name Bruce Jenner

      And I think it’s perfectly OK to call you a cunt. Because you are.

        Man I just so don’t care about your opinion, you have no idea.
