I couldnt check the front page till i got home. Didnt want people thinking i was transphobic if they glanced at my screen and saw all these ignorant lunatics

I took a break from imgflip, but now that I'm back, it looks a lot like the kind of trashy memes on ifunny.

For one thing, it is actually a clever meme, because I could see an old person who happens to be ornery saying exactly that. If you toned it down to "gay," it wouldn't be as funny precisely because part of the humor comes from the fact she's saying something more offensive than she realizes, as old people often do. It's all right, Melody. We know progressives have no sense of humor or wit beyond the boring limits they deem to be acceptable.

Samantha Bee makes millions of actual dollars and is one of the least funny people I have ever seen in my life. By the amount you respond, it seems like half your points must come from comments you leave.

Being liked or being likable isn't a prerequisite to being funny. You've thrown out a lot of generic labels I have heard lots of times, so they've lost a lot of meaning given that they have been overused and often misapplied. You may be right, you may be wrong. I'll find out for myself in due time. The meme was funny regardless.

Go look at her memes. They're ALL political. And BORING. If not completely inappropriate.

You're not "called." You ARE. And the evidence is a mountain of crappy memes. lol

Yeah seriously

The fvck

Think about it.....

;)

Of course not, most of them don't want attention, but most of them have a mental disorder that needs to be addressed and pampering their delusions does nothing to address the root problem.

Instead of giving into their fantasies and in some cases, delusions, we need to help them overcome them. Plenty of psychiatric counseling is what is needed.

Just an aside: psychiatric counseling is part of standard transgender treatment before any surgery comes into play.

Transsexual treatment....

The idea that it doesn't affect their lives or anyone else's is the reason there are those (mostly on the left) who act like if someone doesn't accept their lifestyle it could only mean one thing...bigotry.

In a comment I made here on the same meme, I talked a little about the suicide rates between non trans people and the trans community. Someone said the reason the trans community has a high suicide rate is due to the fact that they're constantly bullied. I stated that isn't very likely. In the non trans community (the overwhelming majority of people) the suicide rate is not any higher than 5%,while the trans community it's near 50%. If the reason trans people were committing suicide because of bullying, the non trans people suicide rate wouldn't be as low as 5% and would be about the same rate.

It's the rate of people being bullied to those committing suicide.

Example: if 100 non trans people are being bullied and 100 trans people are being bullied, only about 1-5 non trans people being bullied out of 100 are committing suicide, while almost 50 innthe trans community are out of 100.

Yeah, dude, transgender people commit suicide because of people like you who give them psychiatric counseling they don't need. That's called mistreatment, which is a direct cause of depression and anxiety, which can be a direct cause of suicide. By calling them mentally ill and saying that they're delusional just for being something that's different from you, you are indirectly bullying every transgender person on the planet. They don't need psychiatric counseling because it isn't a mental illness. They don't need to address a "root problem" because there is none.

They are mentally ill. And they do need counseling. You give in to their paranoia.

Looking forward to your citation, Doctor.

And your scientific evidence for this is where? Thinking that transgender people need counseling and that have a mental disorder isn't an opinion, you need scientific proof and studies that suggest that they are mentally ill.

How obviously detached from reality does a person have to be before yall are willing to say "You are wrong. You are not x"? DON'T YOU DARE SAY HE IS UNWELL! HE IS A CAT! HE IS A DOG! etc etc

People used to say a mixed bi-racial couple who wanted to get married and have children was delusional too...

You can't compare race and sexuality. It's not even close to being relevant.

I'm comparing the ignorance and discrimination which is exactly the same...

No, it's not.

Excuse me

Dates back to 2016. Also...this might be a repost as well.

Very good meme

Who decides then? You can't be both, right?

So odd rare situtions mean what in the bigger picture? There's probably some kind of medically based measure. In any case we can't just make obviously false claims about our selves and others and expect everyone to just roll over. Yo I'm a goose. No feathers no webbed feet no bill 6 ft tall be u r a wicked fundamentalist hateful bigot if u question my self identification which I'm totally free to radically change at any time. You wanna live in ever nuttier loopyland boss? Do ya?

And if they're really enlightened, they wait and let the child tell them what gender they are. That's your medically based measure.

How is that a medically based measure?
And if little Taylor identifies as a literal pony you do what? If s/he identifies as a 21 year old do you go with that? Age is just a number they say. Anarchy is not enlightenment.

That's a medical condition that affects less than 1% of the population and is in most cases easily remedied. Those that need counseling because of this problem, so be it, but having two parts isn't reason to give in to the delusions of those who wish to change sexes.

It doesn't matter how little it happens. Transgender are a small fraction of the population too. If you're going to have criteria like this for deciding someone's gender it should apply to everyone. And how is it easily remedied in most cases? Who gets to decide?

Trangenderism is problem of the mind. Not the same thing.

Says who? You? Trump?

Why don't they encourage them to have and be both, the idiots? Just to confom with our totally polar society? Don't people know that they are the future solution, the ultimate balance between male and female (in every respect) and the end of gender wars? Humanity, how stupid are you???

That's the reason that there are two genders, Humanity. To populate the Earth, keep the race going. What happens when everyone switches teams? And how about the people who have both sets of equipment? Will they be able to create life?

So you subscribe to limitless autonomous unquestionable self-definition? Regardless of any and every contrary indicator?

Are you as young as you look in the pic lil fella? :-p

I could be... or I could be as old as the woman... or as old as you....

https://imgflip.com/i/1sy8bs So is the driver (unwittingly portrayed by the male human widely known as the rock) male or female? :D

Males can become pregnant and give birth. Wow. Or did you misunderstand something. I want to sure if you don't mind. Cuz misinderstandings happen.

Are they no longer female?

Of course not but that's not germane. Men can't give birth. The driver recently gave birth. Therefor the driver's claim to be male is invalid. Agree or disagree?

I'm talking about the overall topic. So it's about whether you have a uterus or can ejaculate sperm. That's the male / female gender criteria? And again I say, what if someone is born without a uterus? Or without a p**is? I don't care about the likelihood of this happening it happens more than you might think. What criteria does one use to decide gender then?

Defining by rare deformity is a poor argument if it's even any argument at all. What is at most a tiny bit of fuzziness trumps literally billions of ppl throughout history having not the least problem knowing whether they are male or female. Huh. And why won't you answer agree or disagree in the specific scenario presented?

Sorry don't get it. Let's keep it simple. Did you agree or disagree?

Women with normal female reproductive ability can give birth within a certain age range etc. Men cannot give birth period. Clear?

Defining women based on what though? Not all women can or will procreate, even those with "normal" reproductive ability...

By definition women with normal reproductive ability can give birth. Obviously circumstances play into whether or not they will. Are you male or female? Are you confident that you will always be one or the other? Nonone necessarily knows for sure they won't look at their perfectly normal genitals one day and think heyyy that's a dick alrighty but man i feel like a woman! Riiiiight? (Cue shania twain song) There are various things tjat indicate maleness or femaleness. But chuck em all as potentially irrelevant brcause...ehat?

Chromosomes determine sex, not your delusional mindset. Maybe sometimes I feel a bit like a woman. Doesn't make me a woman. Men don't become able to bear children just because you surgically remove privates and turn them inside out. Your chromosomes still say you're a male.

Um, actually, while most xy individuals are male and most xx individuals are female, it does not always work that way. Fetal development depend on hormones in the womb. Typically the hormone pattern follows what chromosomal information would indicate, but that is not always the case.
Interesting to note: ALL human fetuses begin as female and may deferentiate to male during development.

My personal oppinion is that gender is irrelevant except for medical reasons (i.e. testicles vs. uterus) and personal preferences regarding personal romantic relationships (for instance, I would not date a female to male trans because I like dick, and most available surgeries will not give them working dicks).
People get hung up on labels because we accept gender sterotypes: that certain fashion and behavioral traits belong to a certain gender.

The driver gave birth but you said he is male. Or did you assume for some reason the girl was not stating the truth when she said he gave birth? The driver recently gave birth and emphatically identifies as male. In light of this do you judge the driver to be male or female? Please indulge me here I do honestly want clarity. :D

In the storyline the driver recently gave birth. Why r u not getting that? Go with that as a fact then decide if the driver's claim to be male is valid. I know the rock is male but that's irrelevant. And maybe get some serious sleep and a good meal first okay? I'm honestly getting a bit concerned.

Just google the name, and surprise yourself.

… I am neither called Thomas, nor Beatie. ;)

How do we define "physically male?"

And while we're at it how do we define human? Maybe i'm literally a pony and not just having a little honest fun with mlp. Neeeeigh! Hmmmm needs work. NEEEEEEIGH!!! Better. Are you seriously as confused as you seem or just arguing to argue or what? I'm not trying to be mean or anything but if you're that detached from reality it's quite concerning. :-(

I think you're the one detached from reality. Or maybe you were just born in a particularly backward era. There are people who have disagreed with their gender designation since a very young age, since they were old enough to talk. Maybe people like Bruce Jenner take decades to admit it. But others have known it since day one. I can't speak for everyone. It doesn't matter what gender I am. Just trying to present another viewpoint into this highly ignorant and close-minded discussion.

https://imgflip.com/i/1t684f Thanks again for reminding me.

Ahhh thank you cuz you re_reminded me of something and thankfully i still have a submission left for today. I'll get back to you probably. :D

I know just enough to not feed other people's delusions.

Well said. Thanks. :D

It is whether you believe it or not.

Correct. And there's no virtue in knowing that to be the case but just lying down to be walked on by the irrationalists. So good for you not doing so.

Do you? Are you afraid to say they are sadly full of wrongness?

I trust u don't mind me having u say thank you. :D

I trust that we can still be in some kind of healthy mlp fellowship. My tentative fringe ponyhood needs proper nurturing. I'm trusting you guys on that. So far so good. :D

HUG :D lol comment timer!! Fine I'll make my comment longer while I'm wating. Hey is ur screen name based on mlp characters?

So Octavia Melody = one pony or two? *sigh* Here I go learning names! lol The herd has lured me in! LOL It surely will be a journey of true self-discovery. So I'm rather blindsided by it. So I used to mock mlp way back in the day etc etc. It is what it is. I see a fun means of expression and enjoying some cuteness, a bit of cheekiness, colorfulness. So why not? Yes why not? I feel better now. :D

Thought so. Just wanted to be sure and sometimes I forget Google exists. lol Thanks. :D
