(no subject)

Oh yeah, and by the way:

Referring to Christofir's benefit, someone says "Well, I won't be supporting that. Maybe I should have a party so people can give me money next time I'm upset about something."

I feel like stamping this person's forehead with big letters reading "HAY I'M AN ASSHOLE". That kind of bullshit is a pretty easy way to get demoted to "someone I know of".

He doesn't have to support anything he doesn't want to. He also doesn't have to come into my house making asshole remarks.

It's not just plastic surgery, and it's not just something Christofir is "upset about", as the person so ignorantly decided for himself. Gender/body dysphoria is powerful stuff.

I know it's a touchy subject ( judging by this post :P ) for you but I'd suggest tracking down the episode of South Park about plastic surgery and sex changes. It presents the argument against surgery to complete oneself rather well and it's funny enough to not be preachy about it.

You missed the point. He could, alternatively, be spewing racist bullshit. That would also not be welcome in my house.

I understand that people who have never had to question their gender have trouble grokking trannies. That doesn't mean they have to be assholes about the fact of their differences.
