NonbinaryDuck

First I forgot to add - I live in Poland and my country still is far from western world. Hatred towards homosexuals etc here is greater than in for example USA, not to mention places like The Netherlands where it slowly becomes a tiny part of country and soon will probably be gone for good. Sadly - it too affects my perspective, because as much as I never accept views of my nation regarding those matters I have it harder to get proper informations regarding LGBT people.

 

Now...

 

Thanks for clarifying, now it looks better. But I still have few words to show how all it looks from perspective of friend of such people: You are right to say that those are not clothes what define us unless we decide otherwise. Problem is - when seeing random person on a street it is impossible to guess if the person is transgender or not in some cases. That's where apologize might be necesarry, but it seems we agreed on that. 

Of course I don't yell at anyone like that. In fact I am too shy to even approach strangers for other reasons than "how can I get to X" so even if I wanted I'd still be unable to do that XD 

 

It can be a true pain, I agree. But sometimes it is necesarry to look at problem from perspective of that person. I for example am always overly scared about offending people, making them angry due to events from my past. It reached the point I attend a therapy myself. Sometimes that fear is hard to control for me and then I too might apologize... a lot. I never do it to make myself look clean, if anything I always am the first to admit making a mistake if I did one. 

 

Here I will be stubborn - whole gender change thing works in two ways. I have to respect, for example Your decision. But You have to get patience to tolerate Your friends misgendering You first. It's uneasy thing to change for us too. Of course difference is when someone does it on purpose. Then it's best to kindly block person or do whatever else to avoid contact. And sadly it's not that easy.

One can't "become" transgender, because he/she wants to. You either are different gender inside despite Your biological appearance or not. The fact that I for example can't suddenly switch my gender already says a lot. 

 

But what's the point for hating ALL the people who are not transgenders? Not all people offend, rape etc transgenders. I'd never do that. It's like hating random German for holocaust or random Russian for Ukrainian crisis. Hate solves nothing and if anyone should be blamed - people who really hurted transgenders should be. By hating everyone transgenders can only make more people despise them. Sadly being mad for example on me, because someone else who is cisgender killed transgender is not a legitimate reason. I am all against stereotypes so I will never support cisphobia in any way. Even more, I put it in same closet as homophobia or transphobia. 

I'd put people who hurt You because You're transgenders to prison myself. I'd ensure they rot in prison cell for their lifetime. But transgender people should really think deeply if by cisphobia they aren't slowly walking same extreme path. 

Being transgender isn't a decision. You also use the word "transgenders" when I specify in this entry not to use that word because you make us sound like a species, also it being grammatically incorrect. Cis people oppress trans people, if other trans people dislike/hate cis people for experiences they go through it's not in your place to say what's right or what's wrong. Just because EVERY cis person doesn't do it it still doesn't make you any less guilty. Especially if you're too scared to stand up for trans people, you're really out of your place to say what's good or what's not. Stop saying cisphobia exists! It doesn't. There's no oppression against cis people-- did you even bother to read the whole entry, I'm just curious at this point.

If you honestly think cisphobia exists you and I should probably stop having this discussion. Because if you still are on that situation, you'll never understand other things having to do with sociology and understanding oppression vs. prejudice. 

I recommend being calmer in giving all those advices, because Your post might only scare people away from You.

 

I know it can be a true pain when someone acts like a dick towards You, but best way to get people to support You is explaining things calmly and kindly. It especially applies to part #4. I have to admit I tend to misgender and I don't like the way You referred to it.

Hating for such mistake is pretty pointless, don't You think? If someone apologized then who cares about it? You too have to understand that for some people it is hard to suddenly call You out with different gender when they knew You for years as guy/girl. It's not as easy as it might sound to You. It is hard for me even. When I see my transgender FTM friend with his profile picture in extremely girly outfit with makeup etc it is hard for me to refer to him as "he". Am I evil for that? Shold I get instahate when I mistakely call him "she"? I don't think so. Also, he doesn't think so neither (yes, he saw Your blog and cringed a bit, sorry).

And since when apologizing is "trying to look innocent"? 

If someone apologized that person clearly regrets it - hating someone for regretting mistake is as stupid as hating someone for being transgender. 

 

 

By all means I am not against what You wrote here, but please, use different words. The ones You've used just shout for needless conflict. 

*sighs* Alrighty, well let me first off explain how if you're intimidated by someone being mad and aggressive from what they go through, you shouldn't consider yourself an ally in the first place. That's like a huge slap to face, because what I hear is: "Even though you guys are basically raped and killed everyday for your identity, you shouldn't yell at people, mmkay? uwu" I apologize if I did come off rude, but there's always a reason why someone's expressing their feelings for something so strongly.

And what I mean for #4 are those who OVER-apologize. Those who keep begging for forgiveness for their transphobic behavior. Also assuming someone's gender based off how they look is transphobic. "But if a guy is in a dress wearing makeup, then how can I not mistake him as a girl?!" Just remember that clothing and makeup are materials. That doesn't define gender, nor does your body shape or what you look like overall. I really do hope if you go to a LGBTQ parade you don't yell at a couple who looks like they're both opposite genders, because their sexuality may be on the lines of being not hetereosexual and let alone their identity may differ from what society expects that person with noted identity to look like.

It actually becomes disrespectful and obnoxious to hear someone keep on begging for forgiveness. Just say "Sorry" and use the correct terms and we're fine. Over-apologizing also makes us trans people look bad. Seriously, like my mom keeps doing this to me and everytime my grandparents always complain about me using a different name and using different pronouns because it makes my mom frustrated. That's bullshit. If you think it's hard not misgendering someone, try being transgender yourself and see if you'd complain then. 

You also shouldn't compare that transphobia and getting hated on for misgendering someone as being equally ridiculous. People are actually tortured, raped, murdered, etc. for being transgender, not for misgendering someone. I assure you, the short time of hatred we feel for you is nothing beyond comparison of what we go through. If a person is mad at you, they're mad for a reason. We just don't go around yelling at people for no reason, then that'd be a different story, but in this case our feelings are valid and should be treated as such.

Thank you though for addressing this! I hope this clarifies it! If I confused you, once again feel free to contact me!

I support this 100% I really wish ignorance and oppression would go away, but I know there is a difference between a transgender person and a transvestite but what do you feel about a transvestite that insist they are an other gender but to afraid to get the operation or other reasons?  

Then that person is transgender, not a transvestite. There are some people who can't or don't want to go under operation, and all reasons regardless are valid. If you identify as other than the gender you were designated with at birth, then you're transgender. Hope this helps!

Ditzy and Derpy aren't one of the same. Faust confirmed in an interview that "Derpy" is a completely different character than "Ditzy." Upon researching Derpy, she dropped Ditzy in favor of Derpy.

I'm okay with only one episode pandering heavily on the brony fandom, but no more. The only reason why I tolerate this episode is because of the following:

· Vinyl Scratch is canonically mute/nonverbal

· Bonbon and Lyra are obvious otp omg

· Ditzy's/Muffins' new voice fits her better and she still has her uncoordinated eyes!

· Vinyl Scratch being a mute I'm so happy oh my gosh

· I don't watch Dr. Who but omfg when he said "Allons-y!" I lost it

· *bangs on desk rhythmically* Mute. Vinyl. Scratch. Mute. Vinyl. Scratch. Mute. Vinyl Scratch....

· horse heads omg I died

· Oh, have I mentioned about mutE VINYL SCRATCH?

Does the Applejack plushie comes with a hat? If so that would be like 10x awesomer! Ugh I'm so jealous it's starting to get to me. ;w;

I also want to apologize for this being oh-so-messy. I wasn't and still not in the right frame of mind, it was difficult as it is for me to even type this in general, I just had to jolt this down real quick to remind myself that this actually did happen. Sorry-- thank you!

An oldie but I'm glad to actually see MLP:FiM lovers/bronies alike who despise this. I'm furthermore impressed with your analysis (well, not specific and actually I wish you delve deeper into that issue because as someone who has interest in voice acting and can actually do voices, these things make me crazy mad,) of the voice acting.

Twilight's voice at that direct scene where you commented on not only how poor the voices were in general, but the characterization and personality/emotion into it. Serious, what the Hell Buckland? You know better than that!

This is one of the most horrendous things derived from the show, there's no argument to it.

*over-analyzes the over-analysis of MLP:FiM*

Lol jk, but yeah I know what you mean. There's always going to be bad episodes of MLP:FiM, alike that there is good and soon more good and bad to come. Good to see more ponies taking that idea into consideration that afterall.. this is a show for children. (Well, originally targetted towards children.) And that we all need to calm down every now and then and realize there's nothing wrong with that.
