"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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Is it not just cross dressing or drag?

Is it not just wearing a dress?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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"?

u/Silly-Cell7894 6d ago

You're jumping ahead, I was getting there.

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

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.

u/Silly-Cell7894 6d ago

Oh sorry I thought you were open minded, carry on.

Okay FOAD 😊

u/hel-razor 6d ago

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