So traps are guys who dress like girls, but it’s crazy to think that makes them a transvestite? I never heard the “trap” term until four or five years ago.

Do you even know the difference?

Traps are guys who dress convincingly like attractive girls.

Wrong. “Traps” are not guys who dress convincingly like attractive girls. “Transvestites” are (typically) guys who dress like girls. “Traps” are derogatory terms for a subset of transvestites who apparently dress like attractive girls just to humiliate people like you who are uncomfortable around gay people.

You’re confusing the definitions.

How so?

Defamatory: “deceptive,” “fooling,” “pretending,” “posing,” “trap,” or “masquerading”
Gender identity is an integral part of a person’s identity. Do not characterize transgender people as “deceptive,” as “fooling” or “trapping” others, or as “pretending” to be, “posing” or “masquerading” as a man or a woman. Such descriptions are inaccurate, defamatory and insulting. (See “passing” and “stealth” as problematic terms above.)

JEDIT: That refers to transgenders rather than transvestites but I thought the concept (re: trap) was the same.

Yeah, that was my issue. Replace “transvestites” with “transgenders,” and that would pretty much fix it. But the bigger issue here is that I don’t think that’s the way Handman or Chyron are using the term.

But how can you use the term “trap” without it being derogatory?

Because he isn’t using it as an insult.

Removing the rest of my post removed context. And his follow up posts indicate he’s using it as an insult, even if he somehow doesn’t understand that’s what he’s doing.

It wasn’t all Trump.

Well like I said, Trump is just the logical conclusion of the stupid that is the Republican party.

What is supposed to be done?

Consider: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/gop-criticism-of-trump-is-all-talk-but-it-still-matters/

How about anything besides talk?

Trump’s possible (and growing more likely by the day) compromised position with Russia is an ongoing national security threat. Maybe start by investigating that. Specifically, maybe start by finding out what’s in his tax returns that he’s so afraid of getting out.

The Graduate

Second viewing. First probably 5 years ago.

Enjoyed it, but not the wow factor I remember from the first time (I remembered very little of the plot going in).

The score was fantastic, of course.

That reminds me I meant to pick up the Criterion of that this past weekend. Somehow I ended up with Mulholland Dr. instead (not complaining).

That should be a felony. :p

Wait, it’s upside-down? The picture I saw wasn’t updside-down…I don’t think.

If it’s upside-down that’s a different story because that’s not the ok symbol.

I assumed the article you linked explained, but I didn’t check.

I looked at a few articles, the one picture I remembered wasn’t with the upside-down hand gesture for some reason. But in the article I posted, you’re right.

I don’t need to justify myself to you.

So don’t.

Shut up then. Please.

Fine.

TV’s Frink said:

Trap is a derogatory term. Don’t use it.

Do you agree?

I agree with the consensus. If they do, then it is. If they do not, then it is not. GLAAD is not the consensus here.
I already don’t use the word either way anyway.

Except you did. But fine.

JEDIT: Your other posts regarding men actually feeling trapped is nonsense btw. But I’ll move on.

The very idea that someone is transgender because they want to humiliate a straight man is offensive no matter what term is used anyway.

I agree, but not all definitions have to do with being transgender. Maybe they’re using it to refer to men that cosplay as female characters. The term sucks because every single website attempting to define it has a different definition, who knows what they got when they googled it.

Again, why would you be referring to cosplayers when you use the word “transvestite” in the comparison?

Unless Handman thinks of cosplayers as transvestites, which I highly doubt. But who the hell knows.
