So here's a Vanquish!

So my grandmother is the exchange student coordinator for the area and so sometimes I act as an assistant. I was with her on a visit for a ponential family. Well I had to restrain myself with every last fiber of my being from bringing the fear of God on to this man who was making fun of a transexual student we had on the roster. As someone who had big gender identity issues when I was younger, it pisses me off when someone talks shit about someone who's transexual. Seriously the people who do that shit have no fucking clue what people with gender identity issues go through.

Never underestimate the stupidity of other people. Think of how stupid, intolerant, and awful the average person is... then realize that nearly half of everyone is worse than that.

Some people are just plain rude and ignorant.

how old was this person? Most people who are under 40, know someone who identifies as LGBT, and thus have less likelihood to have negative impressions.

Some people who should just fucking die...

...would say an idiot who's even less tolerant. Maybe light torture and some lessens in tolerance are deserved.

Fuck that guy. Definitely strike that home off your potentials list, especially if the students are still minors. We have a rough enough childhood and adolescence as it is. Although a host family is just a temporary home, it is a still a home, and as Jay Kelly's mother said, "the first battle should not be at home."

I hear you on that. I have a few friends who are trans and when someone says something and I hear it I look at them and ask. "Would you rather see more people like me? or people for who they really are?" I have a Portwinestain birthmark that covers 80% of my head you should see the looks I get. my friends who are trans get off easier then I do sometimes. Also I'll only post a pic of my face if you really wanna see it.

Hey, did I tell you about that time I was at work, and these two old dudes sat next to me on my break and started talking about how awesome 1950 was for white people before all the "miscegenation", and that integration was ultimately bad for everyone? But they weren't racists, oh noooooooo. I mean, if you're willing to grant your blessing for your grandaughter to marry 'one o dem coloreds', how could anyone think you're a racist?

I had a friend with a large birthmark on his face, we became friends when we were REALLY young so I never really even looked twice at birthmark. Man when we got older I just wanted to knock the shit out of some people who talked about it. It would make me so mad.

All other issues aside, what business is it of his? He should go mind his own affairs and leave others to deal with their own.

Here's an idea for him: how about some compassion, tolerance, or (at least) live and let live?

Not to offend, but it looks a bit like a scar, so I could understand people being a bit concerned. What I COULDN'T understand is why anyone would make fun of it. People are people, and people come in all different sizes, shapes, forms and colors. If you can't deal with that, get off earth.

-_- thats the #1 reaction from people. Is that a scar....*sigh* You don't know scar till you see a friend of mine who was BURNED over 80% of his body. not head but BODY.

That sound's really painful. I'm surprised he survived. My mother's collage room mate was burned in a house fire. Her shoulder and back were burned. She got a stunning tattoo of a parrot to cover it. The best part was, because it was scar tissue, it didn't even hurt.

Ya but me and that friend were chillin last night and had a moment about that and how it affects us. Like I may be in college but fuckin hell people stare more then in HS. That is the main cause me being a loner and introvert. People feel to awkward to come up and talk to me.

I am 17, but i don't have any close friends who are gay or the like, i have a couple acquaintances that are though, the thing is, i could care less what you are, and i may be flamed for saying this, but it is just my opinion, and you are as much welcome to your opinion as i am to mine.

I don't really need to know what you are, wether your straight, gay, or whatever, this is what i find the most obnoxious about many groups is that i am "wrong" if i dont agree with the majority of what people believe. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a republican, and in saying that, i am ashamed of some of the things that my party has done, and i dont believe they are as open to change as they should be. if you dont live the way i live or what i believe, im not going to start cussing and yelling at you, (unless you are like killing someone or robbing a bank) i am not going to do anything to try to stop you unless you or someone else is about to be hurt by being hit by a car, falling into a hole etc. i believe your free to make your own choices and that each person is a human no matter what they do or believe and if rhey do something that i dont like or agree with, so be it, i can live with it. I have my beliefs, and you have yours, they may be different, but i may share my opinion, (as i am doing now) and if you don't agree with it, fine. Im just expressing the way i feel about the subject.

Go up to people and talk to them!...

...That's what an insensitive person who doesn't get it would say. After my dad died, everyone at my school treated me like an egg shell for damn near a month. It was really just them trying to be nice, but it made me feel like shit.

Oh but here is something neat about my birthmark

Here is Japan right?

Now look at my birthmark next to my nose in the box

Literally the Island of Japan next to China.

Got bored one day stared at the mirror and just began to think about this song and then suddenly I thought of literally on my face is a map of the world.

first off I wanna say sweet hair.

My buddy's looked like that except it was about nose up only and it was a little lighter. It was kind of shaped like a squished Virginia. We live in VA so he liked that haha.

ya I'm a lucky one because of the size of mine (you cant see all of it because of hair and shirt) but I could of been totally disabled from this but I'm completely "normal".

I share your disdain. About a year ago, I met someone who's trans and been very open about the day-to-day issues she faces and the difficulties with narrow-minded people. Between that and her service in the military, I'm impressed by the grace of how she handles the stress. Through that friendship, I've met a number of others in the trans community nearby, and I've enjoyed hanging around with them—at the heart of it, they're people who want to be understood and accepted like anyone else. And I'm happy to do my part to help facilitate that. I can only hope that the world's culture changes to a more tolerant one ASAP.
