While we are knocking out offensive language and stereotypes, Oriental is used to identify rugs not a group of people.

@onahigh23: In America, yes. In Beitain that word has no pejorative connotation.

Why do many straights find trans people a group they can demean in every possible way & think its funny or acceptable?

I’m more offended at the portrayal of Tyrannosauruses, as I am one.

And trust me, it’s hard as fuck to type this statement out with such teeny, tiny hands.

@Teleny: *”Why do many cis people…” Unfortunately the attitude isn’t exclusive to straight people, it’s far from uncommon among cis LGB+ people as well. Also, by inventing a dichotomy between “straights” on the one side and “trans people” on the other you support the misconception that trans people can’t be straight and vice versa.

I’m a Gay Brit and although I wouldn’t shop at ASDA (only as its completely god awful, not for any political reason). Maybe we have different outlooks and as a nation, we do like bad taste but I thought the card was really quite funny and let’s face it there really are important issues to get really upset about.

@urban: As a trans person who also happens to be queer and British, your nationality and orientation are irrelevant. Unless you’re also trans*, you’re not qualified to comment on what discourse is or isn’t acceptable with regards to trans* oppression.

SORRY TO BREAK YOUR HEARTS GAYS,BUT BIANCA DEL RIO DOESN’T EXIST.ITS A CHARACTER JUST LIKE BOZO OR RUPAUL, BUT CARMEN, JANET , LAVERNE & MYSELF ARE WOMEN.
AND IF ANY OF YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A MAN, YOU WOULD KNOW HOW TO TREAT A WOMAN .
THERE ARE NO DEGREES OF WOMANHOOD.
WOMEN ARE WOMEN, TRANSGENDER OR CISGENDER.
YOU BEING GAY DOES NOT GIVE YOU A PASS BE VULGAR WITH US.
I DONT CARE HOW FEM YOU LOOK.
BODIES ARE NOT GENDER.
RESPECT ALL WOMEN !!
STOP MAKING AN ASS OF YOUR TRANSPHOBIC SELVES .
