J 4 C K Jackathyn J 4 C K What does real life gender mean to me? I'm not going to see any of you. Besides, I just call people by their avatar's gender, or full name, even when a pronoun would be gooood. Am I still 'thyn'? |

Halfling Heroine That was such an ignorant and horrible remark for that person to make! Whoever said that should be ashamed of themselves. I have the greatest respect for you Hi-Potion, for being brave enough to come to terms with your own identity. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to feel like you were born the wrong gender. Unfortunately some people can't see beyond their own stupid prejudices. If I were you, I'd put them on ignore. Certainly if I ever find out who they are, I'd consider putting them on my ignore list too, and I have never put anyone on mine yet.
And no, not brave, I just had to discover myself, and everyone discovers themselves at one point or another. >A< And, yeah, Ive seen some horribly prejudice things said IRL and online. Even by celebrities and congress men/women in the states. here. But, slowly, the world is getting better with racism, judging others for their religion (Ive seen aloooot of people lumping all Christians with the Westboro Baptist Church and other groups), homphobia, transphobia, etc. But, not everyone can be as accepting. Sadly. |

Hi-Potion MrsrachaelSnape I bet the same person wouldn't have said the same thing to your face. I never knew that about that Hi-Potion, I find very brave of you coming out your family. I know it had to be stressful at times. The person was probably had self images problem and thought to take it out on you. I don't know if that is a reportable you would have to ask a mod. I have been bully on gaia before not for your reason, but for another reason. Yeah, I believe that if you wouldnt say something IRL,. dont cay it online :I Eh, Im not sure, I cant begin to understand their reasoning. @A@ The added anonymity of the net gives people a false sense of power.... I cant do something bad on the net without feeling horrible afterwards, so I generally dont say anything bad if I wouldnt do it normally @A@
Well people bully because there is something missing in their life. Either attention or something else. Next time tell them your in a gang j.k 4laugh |

Unfortunately some people can't see beyond their own stupid prejudices. If I were you, I'd put them on ignore. Certainly if I ever find out who they are, I'd consider putting them on my ignore list too, and I have never put anyone on mine yet. Ive only ever ignored two people, but only in extreme circumstances. @A@ And no, not brave, I just had to discover myself, and everyone discovers themselves at one point or another. >A< And, yeah, Ive seen some horribly prejudice things said IRL and online. Even by celebrities and congress men/women in the states. here. But, slowly, the world is getting better with racism, judging others for their religion (Ive seen aloooot of people lumping all Christians with the Westboro Baptist Church and other groups), homphobia, transphobia, etc. But, not everyone can be as accepting. Sadly.
I must say, I find it particularly frustrating when big media figures come out with discriminating remarks. You would expect world leaders and the like to be more tolerant but as you said, sadly this isn't always the case. I understand what you're saying, that people discover themselves eventually, but for some people, they remain in total denial about their true identity for years. So I believe that your kind of honesty is admirable. For example, my aunt {on my mom's side} is a lesbian, and for a long time she denied that part of herself. She didn't come out until she was in her mid forties, but thankfully our family was very supportive, even my grandparents. But then my uncle {on my dad's side} is gay, and still hasn't come out to his father, and probably never will feel able to do so, as my grandad is openly anti-gay. Unfortunately, there are plenty of people who'll discriminate against others, even face to face. Some people are just ignorant. Even though I'm not a very religious person myself, I would never harass someone over their beliefs. I respect their perspective and hope they'll respect mine.
Not everyone is accepting, but I suppose all we can do is ignore the ignorant and carry on with our lives as best we can. |

MrsrachaelSnape Aku Ohino I recently came out to my best friend, who then proceeded to repeat said news to the rest of our group of friends. Me liking dudes has been the butt (haw) of many a forced joke. It was funny at first, but now it's just annoying and tired. It happened fairly recently, so i'm just gonna give it time to settle. (I'm a "wait-and-see" kind of person.) I'm sorry to hear. But if I was you I would get new friends.
No, they're not as bad as I probably made them sound. They're just idiots. Well, one of them is as bad as I made it sound, and he's a general douche. But i've known them for years, like since 6-7th grade. They're not that bad, and I don't really think they realize they're being asses. As I said, if they're still doing it after a while, then i'll tell them to stop. |
