RE: Why Transtrending Hurts Trans People

[postparody]

Blaire has a right to be concerned about how this particular person's actions might negatively impact one's views of trans people.

This doesn't address anything that I said, please try again.

Transgender people can present however they want to. There are as many variations in gender expression as there are in any other spectrum of expression.

I agree with this one. However, one of the realities of living around people is that presentation affects someone's perception of a certain individual or group. With that said, we should present ourselves in a way that reflects how we would like to be treated.

Just because you see a trans person you consider "wacky" doesn't mean all trans people are wacky. In the same way that because you see a bald guy who is a nazi, that doesn't mean all bald guys are nazis.

If all the bald people I saw (say, in the news) to were Nazis, that would add fuel to any negative perception I had of them or give me a reason to make that assumption in the first place.

Blaire White is an uncle-tom transgirl who loves to pick on people for not being as pretty and beautiful as she is to further her own ego and co-opt alt right fanatics.

What do you mean by "alt-right"?

She perpetuates stereotypes that are harmful, and can lead to violence, as it has in the past.

If anything, she's broken down stereotypes of the way trans people think and see the world and even addressed the wildly misread article on a "trans bathroom rapist".

She should not represent anything related to transgender movements, in my opinion. All she does is promote division and hate.

I've never seen her promote anything outright divisive or hateful. Where have you seen this hateful and/or divisive content?

[cyberdemon531]

The video you linked is hateful and divisive. She has a history of bullying people like Riley Dennis for example as well.

My point is, yes, she is right in some way on a """reality""" level. But cowtowing to bad things people do doesn't make them less bad. You should focus on fixing those perceptions and stereotypes so that everyone can be happier looking and acting how they want to.

She did issue an apology to Riley Dennis here:

[cyberdemon531]

I am aware, but it does not change her core ideologies which are far more destructive.

Guess we'll just agree to disagree.

[cyberdemon531]

There's nothing to disagree on, facts don't care about your feelings.
