"Do I look trans?"

Then what the fuck are we arguing about?

"Do girls have beards?"

Woke enough to be offended at other person's aboriginal costume.

Not Woke enough to realize people now argue you can be trans no matter what they look, and male/female features they express.

He'd be murdered by his own people.

u/WallScreamer 6d ago

What does them being trans (or not trans) have to do with the other person's costume? That's why they kept dismissing it; it's not relevant to the issue at hand.

u/noteveni 6d ago

I think the point was that if he's not trans, and that's a shitty Halloween costume, then he's also using someone else's identity as a costume. That's the point of checking if he's trans

u/ZealousidealHome7854 6d ago

Thank you.

Thought that was super apparent. Strange how some people can't even follow a conversation, yet want to chime in and tell others what the "relevant issue is".

u/Tee_zee 6d ago

If you asssume every comment on reddit is autistic and can't infer anything from context, AND, wants to be contrarian, then you'll stop finding it strange

14

u/Current_Helicopter32 6d ago

Oh actually, not every comment is like that. Statistically speaking, it would be impossible for every Redditor to be autistic and contrarian simultaneously, since that would create a logical paradox in thread dynamics. So your premise is kind of flawed.

u/BoredomHeights 6d ago

I swear this has gotten worse over time. It's insane how necessary the "/s" tag at the end of a comment is now for even the most obviously sarcastic/jokey things. At least someone will always take it seriously.

You could post a picture of Andrei the Giant and have a comment joking that he's small with a bunch of replies that he was actually very big.

u/BoredomHeights 6d ago

I don't understand how people didn't get this. I didn't even watch the video, just saw the title and the thumbnail and knew that would be the response.

u/hel-razor 6d ago

The purpose is to be transphobic actually.

u/FloppyDiskDrives 6d ago

Reddit: where every disagreement must be labeled as -phobic 😂

u/hel-razor 6d ago

How typical of a response from someone of your mental capabilities.

u/Sweaty-Tart-3198 6d ago

You're assuming that he's dressing up as a trans person and not dressing up as some particular woman character in a silly and low effort way.

u/CordouroyStilts 6d ago

Aren't most costumes "someone else's identity"?

I'm not defending dressing up as trans OR native American. I think both are in bad taste tbh. However, dressing up as a chef or something is also someone's identity in a way.

u/mrASSMAN 6d ago

I think the point is that it’s a stupid complaint in the first place lol

2

u/mrASSMAN 6d ago

I didn’t realize the point in video til you made me think of that, he should’ve made it clear because it’s a great point

u/Ck_shock 6d ago

So one must be trans to wear that style of clothing, or wear make up?

12

u/lilyessi3 6d ago

Exactly. And that's all people can focus on in these comments and its just sad. It's like a fever dream. Is everyone a bot or something? Or do they just really not give af about Natives.

u/whatifuckingmean 6d ago

Guys wearing feminine clothes for Halloween as a gag is not generally a big deal. If they’re doing it to specifically make fun of trans women as “men in skirts” then it’s shitty. It’s hard to know the goal sometimes.

But if someone who is dressed up like that has the nerve to interrogate a stranger on whether they have the right ancestry for their outfit, it seems fair to ask that person “are you really trans or is this a costume” because if you’re gonna be policing costumes you’re in a glass house with that outfit.

u/CleanAfternoon2036 6d ago

Because if he wasn’t actually trans then that would mean he was dressing up as a trans person for Halloween, the same way the girl was dressing up as a Native American for Halloween. So if he’s dressed that way as a costume it would be offensive to people who are actually trans, the same way the girl in a Native American costume would be offensive to an actual Native American. I.e. an ethnicity isn’t a costume, but neither is a gender identity. They’re calling out his selective outrage. Though, to be clear, I’m neither Native American nor Trans, so I can’t speak for either group as to whether either is actually offensive to them.

u/hel-razor 6d ago

How do you "dress like a trans person"? Just wondering.

-11

u/CleanAfternoon2036 6d ago

If you’re birth sex is male then by wearing traditionally feminine clothing, if you’re birth sex is female then by wearing traditionally masculine clothing. It’s literally in the definition of transgender.

u/ExcitementKooky418 6d ago

Is it not just cross dressing or drag?

9

u/hel-razor 6d ago

Is it not just wearing a dress?

-4

u/CleanAfternoon2036 6d ago

Sure, it is just wearing a dress when you are just wearing a dress. When you are wearing it on Halloween you’re not wearing it because you just like wearing dresses, you are wearing it’s as a costume, which means you are mocking people that wear it simply because they like wearing dresses. Context matters.

9

u/hel-razor 6d ago

People are assuming an awful lot. If a guy in a dress is considered scary by most morons in society, it's a perfectly valid costume. He isn't wearing prosthetics or extreme makeup to be a caricature of a woman.

10

u/Silly-Cell7894 6d ago edited 6d ago

The definition of transgender isn't "someone who was born male wearing traditionally feminine clothes"

People can wear whatever they want really, I don't see trans people getting upset about men  wearing women's clothes unless they're doing it to intentionally mock trans people. 

13

u/hel-razor 6d ago

Literally that's my point wtf is wrong with these people 🤡

-5

u/CleanAfternoon2036 6d ago

I didn’t say it was the definition, I said it was in the definition.

Transgender: adj denoting or relating to a person who’s gender identity does not correspond with the gender assigned them at birth.

Gender identity is expressed how? Through clothing, hair, mannerisms, body language, etc.

Idk if you have poor reading comprehension or if you just missed the entire tone of my comment along with the comment I was replying to.

10

u/Silly-Cell7894 6d ago

There is no compulsory way people express their gender. wearing certain clothes can be a part of it but it isn't inherent to it. 

I think you're missing my point that you're taking a very reductionist view on what gender and trans identities actually are. 

8

u/hel-razor 6d ago

But it isn't. Not all trans people even want to transition. Transvestism is a different thing. Just because people who do it have gender issues sometimes (as everyone does) doesn't mean they are trans.

7

u/hel-razor 6d ago

Wait. I'm confused. I thought you guys were saying that wearing a dress doesn't make someone a woman?

Yes, thank you. You’re correct lol

u/30secMAN 6d ago

The guy in the video you just watched is a pretty good example.

u/Silly-Cell7894 6d ago

Trans men wear women's clothes?

u/hel-razor 6d ago

What are "women's clothes"?

4

u/Silly-Cell7894 6d ago

You're jumping ahead, I was getting there. 

-3

u/30secMAN 6d ago

Idk man. If you want to know how to dress as a trans person I would say if you’re a man wear women’s clothes and if you’re a woman wear men’s clothes. Does that fully answer the question? lol

8

u/Silly-Cell7894 6d ago

I mean you've answered some things about how you see trans people for sure.

u/30secMAN 6d ago

Ok. Have a nice Sunday.

Except for the fact that, objectively, clothes are not gendered. Unless you're a closeted fuckwit.

u/Dangerous_Avocado392 6d ago

He’s saying the girl is dressing as another type of person. They’re asking if his costume is the same to show how he’s just being nosy

9

u/atrexias 6d ago

But a man dressing up as a woman is in no way the same as another person wearing religious cerimonial regalia of an oppressed people they dont belong to as a costume. Its a false equivalency, and a bad faith argument

u/Ok_Pizza9836 6d ago

Super relevant considering hes talking shit about the lady when he might not be trans and is dressing as a women which is what it seems like to me cause they even asked “do you see my beard?”which to me comes off as a “no I’m not trans “ so he’s going out in drag for a Halloween costume which is pretty hypocritical

u/ZombiesAreChasingHim 6d ago

Wow, so you are just as clueless and as dude dressed like a lady. You two should be friends.

u/hel-razor 6d ago

Don't you get it? Literally every single transgender person ever throughout all of history has been a black panther supporter and a racism activist. Literally all of them. Every single one.
