If you don't hire me, it's because you're raptorist. If you don't refer to me by my preferred pronoun, you're raptorphobic. You can't stop me from being who I am. You have no idea the struggle I go through, being a raptor trapped in a human's body. You don't know my pain.



No seriously, don't get uppity just because someone called you the pronoun you don't like. You don't see atheists getting mad at Christians for saying they'll pray for them. You're making a big deal out of something that ultimately doesn't matter. Asking for another gender on passports? On applications? These things DO NOT MATTER. You will not get more or less money for being a moogle. You will not avoid getting searched at the airport for being a banana.

For some reason, being different has given you a sense of entitlement. As if we should change to world to suit your desires. Culture evolves, maybe one day your time in the sun will come. Until then, get in line behind the feminists, they were there first.

This only works if you're mocking something culturally rooted, such as transracialism.

As an atheist, I can say I've seen many others do this. r/atheism is notorious for this sort of bullshit.

Importance is relative.

These things DO NOT MATTER.

This is still completely relative.

I don't think you quite understand that the majority of trans people, while perhaps disheartened over being genuinely misgendered, don't expect to properly be gendered if they do not pass.

The world sucks, of course it should change. But the desires you're describing are straw-men, so.

Yeah, let's totally rob a movement of its validity because another movement is bigger and has traction, so let's divert from an oppressed group and support another. /s

You deny my people their rights? You would deny the velociraptors a chance to succeed in the world? We were almost wiped out 65 million years ago. You should be put in prison for your inability to accept others for who they are.
I don't know if you're genuinely ignorant about why your reduction to absurdity doesn't work, or if you're attempting to troll with cringey material.
what the hell is that comic? revenge of the nazi raptor?

Reduction to absurdity? That's what you think this is? You think the struggle my people have faced is a "joke"? Do you realize that in 1992, most of us had to take jobs under Steven Spielberg for his Jurassic Park in horrible working conditions? They fed us by lowering us food from CRATES. We're PREDATORS. And let's just ignore the fact that velociraptors are CRETACEOUS PERIOD dinosaurs. Horrible working conditions, ignorance to our culture. You're just like the others. You preach acceptance, but you refuse to accept others.
If evolution makes sense, and chickens are distant evolved cousins of the T-Rex, atheists have been checkmated since if you watch Pokemon, when things evolve, they clearly grow larger and more threatening, not smaller and helpless.

Checkmate, atheists.

And also if evolution is real, and egg came before the chicken, where did the first egg layer come from?

Checkmate, science believers.

This is exactly the point. You're trying to force what matters to you upon everyone else, when relatively we don't care and it doesn't matter to us. If it matters to you, fine, find people who it also matters to and circlejerk your enjoyment. But don't act like everyone else in the world is in the wrong for not acknowledging what you think matters.

My, what an angry person you are. This is the gender dichotomy our society operates on, so clearly it isn't just me that feels these things are important. Gender identity is an integral part of how we function, if you don't see that as important, you're the minority here. So it isn't a "circlejerk" of any kind. Trying to say our identities are irrelevant under the guise that you don't care is nothing short of being a dick. You can be apathetic all you want, we don't care, however, mocking us in such an irrational way under such justification is an extremely piss poor excuse to be a dick.

That's an interesting assumption to make. Let's look at where the dichotomy is drawn.

1. Restrooms (in United States)
2. Clothing target audience

... That's it? That's all of the dichotomy? I don't see a huge gender dichotomy that our society is functioning on. I mean, our society functions on:

1. Male and Female representatives in government - These things are dependent on those that run for office. It's as easy to get a 100% female government as it is to get a 100% male government. So that's not an issue
2. Male and female laborers - There's a minimal pay gap which can easily be accounted for in terms of leave. So that's not an issue.

So I'm looking at the things that our society functions on, government and labour force and I'm not seeing any kind of dichotomy. This dichotomy is imagined to create a social barrier for people to cross. It's imagined to create an "us vs them" scenario. The issue in the trans argument is that some individuals in society are unwilling to accept those that dress in a style outside of the norm, and of those that are so dissatisfied with the sex they were born with that they would like to be referred to by something else. But that is a fairly easy line to extend, as seen with that (moderately) recent issue with someone wanting to consider themselves black.

But what do I know? After all, I'm only a velociraptor.

I genuinely cannot tell if you're being serious or not. People are consistently segregated by their gender. This is why men and women often have gender exclusive cliques growing up. This is why we have entire industries in our free market with a singular gender in mind. We expect certain things from girls and certain things from guys. You can see this juxtaposed in most American media. Take "Married with Children" for example. The satire of how men and woman behave is purely an exaggerated telling of gender roles and expressions in the United States. This is because we have an everlasting dichotomy. This is why it took so long for homosexuality to become tolerated here.

1. Male and Female representatives in government - These things are dependent on those that run for office. It's as easy to get a 100% female government as it is to get a 100% male government. So that's not an issue
2. Male and female laborers - There's a minimal pay gap which can easily be accounted for in terms of leave. So that's not an issue.

That has nothing to do with the fact gender identity is an integral part of how we function. I also don't see how it's at all easy to get a "100% female government in the United States", seeing that it's never happened before, or even come remotely close.

So I'm looking at the things that our society functions on, government and labour force and I'm not seeing any kind of dichotomy.

Uh... It's intrinsic to all those things. How many men out there think hitting a girl is wrong? How many women out there think it's okay to hit men but not to be hit back? These are both common issues MRAs and feminists complain about. They're part of our gender dichotomy.

This dichotomy is imagined to create a social barrier for people to cross. It's imagined to create an "us vs them" scenario.

Claim without evidence. It's simply how we've always operated. Slowly but surely the patriarch of America has dissipated, women gained the right to vote, tolerance began to grow. It's only over a long evolutionary process have we as a society come to adjust our gender beliefs. So long as there is a social division between men and women, we will have a dichotomy. That's not a bad thing either.

The issue in the trans argument is that some individuals in society are unwilling to accept those that dress in a style outside of the norm, and of those that are so dissatisfied with the sex they were born with that they would like to be referred to by something else.

They want to be addressed by what they are. Most trans people do not expect to break the gender dichotomy, this is why we transition to fit in. We usually politely ask people to refer to use appropriately if we do not pass.

But that is a fairly easy line to extend, as seen with that (moderately) recent issue with someone wanting to consider themselves black.

Transracialism has no scientific backing, it's completely cultural and implies heavy racism. Being transgender is a legitimate area of both scientific and medical study.

I'm only a velociraptor.

Being a furry doesn't actually make you anything other than human. So again, your reduction to absurdity is nonsensical.

Nice straw-man. I stated the patriarchy began to heavily dissipate as women gained the right to vote.
