Hey Bananahands, you're bringing your own Pokemon team with you, right? To have her prove her credentials? I mean, yeah, lots of people lie on Tinder, but this is one claim that's easily confirmed or debunked.

You can tell a lot about a person by the Pokemon team they use.

Yeah, dates love having their credentials openly checked.

Listen, you can't just claim to be a Pokemon master and not expect to be challenged. It's what trainers do. They're out to be the very best, and you can only prove you're the best by beating everyone else.

Putting "level 100 Pokemon master" on your Tinder profile is basically the Pokemon equivalent of swinging your penis around like a flail and shouting "Come have a go if you think you're hard enough!"

Wait, what are you referring to? This is literally the tamest Tinder thread I've ever seen.

edit - Oh, I missed the Seinfeld post. Nevermind.

You'll note the Seinfeld gif that references the episode where they're constantly saying "Not that there's anything wrong with that!"

well you kind of implied it was terrifying, and BowieLee had the "hope it's not a dude" comment. Trans women aren't dudes. They're women.

Eh, I get where you're coming from. No offense intended.

She never showed up at the bar so I guess karma is on your side, Charles.

Whoa, hang on. What "trans" are we talking? Many biologically male transvestites identify as male gender, not female.

Men can theoretically get pregnant.
It's just not recommended, as it requires lots of medical interference in order to work properly.
I look forward to the first actual attempt, and not just the lip service and casual musings.

What's wrong with implying something is terrifying to you, anyway? Tolerant does equal like. I'm terrified by the idea of eating pickled beets, but if you enjoy them, please continue.

What's wrong with implying something is terrifying to you, anyway? Tolerant does equal like. I'm terrified by the idea of eating pickled beets, but if you enjoy them, please continue.

are you aware of what the word phobia means?[DOUBLEPOST=1421948694,1421948593][/DOUBLEPOST]

LOL, at the straight guy telling the gay former drag queen that he's transphobic.

Being gay isn't some shield to never being misogynistic, racist, transphobic, et al.

You're talking about the implied social injustices due to fear that have come under the umbrella of the connotation of the suffix -phobia rather than the fear itself.

Trolling troll is trolling, moving on.

I think equating "terrifying" and "don't like/aren't interested" is where the problem lies. I don't like chocolate ice cream, but I'm not terrified of eating it. Finding out your date is trans (-vestite or -gendered) shouldn't be terrifying because there is no threat to your person. To be fearful of it perpetuates the myth that being in proximity to those who are different mean you can "catch" whatever caused their preferences, or said preferences are harmful and evil. If anything, you treat it like you would any date that wasn't going how you hoped: you politely end it and not go out anymore. You don't have to be attracted to said-person, but you shouldn't be fearful of their existence in your life. That's probably closer to tolerance.

But by that same token, "terrified" was undoubtedly hyperbole intended to mean "don't like".

Dating is just terrifying in general. Remember being terrified she won't like you? Terrified you'll say something stupid, or fart, or come back with toilet paper on your shoe?

people aren't routinely murdered for having toilet paper on their shoe

Routinely, no. But it would have been just my luck to be the statistical outlier.

Also, the spectre of social rejection can be terrifying. You don't have to be in physical danger.

Sometimes, and I'm sure that's how you meant it, but a)we're in a forum that regularly nitpicks hyperbole (yourself included), and b)we're talking about a stereotype of a group who existence gets treated like it's a threat to daily life. I'm not going to jump to extremes and accuse anyone here of transphobia, because I don't think that's the case. I'm saying labeling this outcome as "terrifying" feels a little hyperbolic-too-far.

Agreed. And in this thread I'd also add "mystifying" and occasionally "horrifying".

Wait wait wait, back up... @Celt Z you don't like chocolate ice cream? Chocolate ice cream is awesome!
