The other day i got pretty offended that the restaurant I was at didn't offer "Jet A" fuel. This was a large turn off because unlike my colleagues, I identify as an attack helicopter and I was not able to fuel up but my other-gendered colleagues were. ON TOP OF THAT, the waiter asked me to leave because apparently my "spinning motions while screaming" (as the waiter explained it) was distracting the customers. To be quite honest I am outraged. That is just plain offensive. I simply can not control it. Now that I am much calmer and my pistons arent pumping as rapidly, I think i could of accepted if they offered me some basic diesel and maybe just told me to quiet down BUT TO INSULT MY ENTIRE KIND? MY GOD. THESE PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO STOP. What I am trying to say here is this discrimination going on here is unacceptable! down with gender-offensive bathrooms and establishments!! #SayOkayToJetFuelA |

![]() It describes someone. It's a process. Like I said before, it's like saying "A black" or "A gay." There may not be malicious intention behind it, but some people purposely say phrases like that in order to disrespect those communities. |

Well, it can be a noun, but most wikis and other sites cite it as an offensive term: ![]() That being said, I think transgender people should give some leeway. How the hell is the average person supposed to conclude that the term is offensive? There are a lot of people that shorthand "Jap" for "Japanese person," unaware of how offensive that actually is. Apparently, even the way Mangsi advised us to use it ("a transgender person") is deemed offensive by Wiktionary. |

Now, like stated in the past: the simple term, "transgender" can be offensive to some people. It all depends on who you're talking to. Like, I know no one ment any disrespect today. But I pointed out for future reference that saying it one way can be taken as offensive, but some people may take all ways of saying it as offensive. No, we are not, "special snowflakes" or anything like that. We're just trying to find some respect in this world full of hate. |

I know there are transgender people out there who actually feel like they fit in one gender more than the other but why the actual **** would they feel the need to use fake ass pronouns for their fake ass gender? He, she, it or whatever. Nobody actually cares about what you want to call yourself. All that matters is you form the pinnacle of pretentiousness whenever you demand people call you by a fake pronoun or gender that others won't even bother acknowledge on a day to day basis just so you can feel comfortable. Stop trying to get offended over irrelevant ****, pathetic tumblristas. |

Oh I'm ignorant about this issue? That's intersting, last I checked I didn't have to call my friends something else just because I wanted respect. I call somebody what they are because its the truth. Not something thought up by a bunch of tilted feminists. The whole idea that people need to be called something else so they can feel comfortable is absolute pathetic. And calling those who just don't care enough to do so "cis" or "transphobic" is ****ing ******ed. Did everyone suddenly decide to become sensitive pricks all of a sudden? Since when did the world revolve around you feeling comfortable and not offended? You people literally spoiled babies who want to be called something else instead of who you really are. Grow up and realize the world isn't designed as a gigantic safe-space Oh and for the record, what I said had literally nothing to do with calling people racial slurs so nice job really butchering my statement. I swear, this is what you people always do. Somebody tries to make a point and you somehow try to make the person look like a rasicst or something so you seem "morally superior". Rationality is lost on you. |

Well hey, whatever makes you feel like you're on top of things. It's easy to just call a person ignorant but its a pain in the ass to actually go in depth to explain why we see things the way we do. Last I checked, calling a person "she" when she wants to be called "he" or vice versa isn't the same as calling a black person a "n****r". |
