Description
REQUESTThis stamp was created in regards to the saddening ideology that's been spreading lately that hateful people use to justify their bigotry. It comes from the modern redefinition of what it means to discriminate:
POWER + PREJUDICE
This redefinition has come about in order to make it socially acceptable to be outwardly hateful towards whites, Christians, males, heterosexuals and "cis scum", without being labeled as prejudiced. It makes it easier for instances of discrimination to be ignored, denied, and causes the victims to be disregarded and criticized if they feel unfairly treated.
The redefinition is further supported by the belief in "eye for an eye" problem solving. For too long, it had been socially acceptable to criticize minorities, and still is, though to a lesser extent. Therefore, people believe it is time for the majority to "have their turn", or "a taste of their own medicine", which only leads to further conflicts and an increased divide between people of differing lifestyles/beliefs.
It's sad.

i still think you're homophobic, because you're largely the definition of it, but it's a reasonable kind. i know i'm going to get lynched for saying that, but "i'm not comfortable with it" seems reasonable.

Yeah, Im not comfortable and Im just disgusted by it. Idk why, I just am

People who seriously believe in "heterophobia" and "cisphobia" and equate them to the suffering endured by LGBT people are so fucking wild.

Either way is silly considering suffering is experienced on an individual basis and no group in general suffers more than the other just because they're part of that group alone.

all of you need to stop feeding her
its like watching people try to talk sense into a wall
no insults meant to walls tho~

'Tumblrina'? A wall would be less bigoted and more capable of absorbing information.
Anyway, I have no issue with tumblr in general, and don't plan to respond here anymore unless someone capable of an actual intelligent response comes along.

"no group in general suffers more then others" um bigotry exists and makes its impact on entire minority groups?
Come back to me when straight and cisgender people get their human rights stripped from them solely because they're straight and cisgender. Lemme know when those laws that make it illegal to be straight get passed. Keep me up to date on when cis people are denied proper medical care on the basis that they're cis. Til then, nah, can't bring myself to agree with you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, I value integrity.
You may at one point in life suffer (or face discrimination, which are not synonyms for each other, and my views are not even the same on each specific thing) as a result based on other contributing factors, such as where you are born or who you associate with, just like any other such thing that might affect someone. And I did not say white or non-transgender people suffer solely for being white or not transgender- that's the entire point. I only acknowledge they *can* be discriminated against, or suffer, like anyone else. There are plenty of people in the LGBT community who are happy, healthy, and supported by their loved ones financially and emotionally. It is not a 24-hour life time pass to guaranteed suffering.
Suffering is really not some trendy thing that should be measured like bonus points for life to get pity.
If you're referring to blood, that was for efficiency and the safety of others - people who actually suffer, e.g. those who need blood, should always come first over hurt feelings. To disagree as someone with any medical qualifications would be inane. If you're talking about people who get denied sex-changes for psychological reasons (which is not equivalent to being denied proper medical care, and is definitely not done on the basis that they ARE transgender), that is either an honest incompetent mistake; or their psychologist is silly and unqualified, like the majority, and they can find another one with better research next time if they really are serious. Anyone who is sick has to deal with similar incompetence- except they don't have the time because they're sick and physical ailments do not operate on the same level of patience.
I know most transgender people do not consider non-dyadic people to be transgender; obviously because they mostly aren't. Well, only people born with an intersex disorder can and still are being *legally* denied actual health-affecting medical care in every state because of their condition. So.. there's that.
Just like a person of Asian descent in the states can be legally docked points on an entry exam that they're more than qualified over others for because they're not needed for quotas, whereas other minority groups get extra points added. Unfair and discriminatory? Of course. Do all of us as a group face the same discrimination and suffer as a result? No.

TL;DR for those with the attention span of a bird:
Come back (or don't, I don't really care nor did I want to argue to begin with, and I have studying with a 39c fever to do) whenever you want because I don't own this website, and neither do you.
Although preferably when you aren't immaturely disregarding anyone's opinion that differs from yours, or in this case someone who was just trying to amend the misuse of an English word, i.e. 'suffering'.
When you understand what suffering entails, e.g. someone with horrible illnesses, struck by poverty- and don't assume that a wealthy, healthy person is automatically someone who suffers the most/more than someone else just because they happen to also be transgender.
I also don't care if some random online agrees with me, so there's that.
Regardless of our differences, I hope you have a fantabulous day because I'm not that petty, and thanks for displaying the proper ignorance to provoke such an easy writing prompt.

although i agree with you (even though you dont care) as someone with ADHD i find it a bit rude to add "for those with the attention span of a bird" after the tldr
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I never said 'to those who are ADHD', so you're getting offended over your own imagination. I don't have the attention span of a bird, unlike the person that was acting like a douchenozzle.
I have ADHD and I don't even care about the wording because it isn't offensive, so there's that. I don't get why people respond to tell someone they're rude without adding context.
Not to mention it was specificallyadded in for that person and their non-existent attention span after the response. If anything it's a little weird that you equate my disability to that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
because you added "to those with the attention span of a bird" it kind of sounded like you were making fun of people with short attention spans, plus "to those" implies youre speaking to an audience, which is just anybody who's reading your comments. you could have said "since you have the attention span of a bird..." or something like that
congrats you didn't offend yourself with your own words? i don't really think you can do that

I've been illegally messed with in schools for my disabilities. That is a problem. Some online man/woman getting offended over my wording because they make a fantastical connection is the least of my worries.
I think the one calling me names is the one being one.
Have a nice day.

cool, same, even though im getting offended over a word doesn't mean i haven't been bullied irl either but, yknow, whatever

I am physically and mentally disabled, as is my entire family, and I can and will use the word retard unironically. If that offends you, then so be it. Can't please all sensitivities.

Hah, what a mature response. Good thing I write to better myself and not for randoms.
Anyway, thanks for displaying the (lack of) intelligence of the extremist left and your lack of an argument.
I fear for my future if all people 3 years or older than me are this closed-minded and incapable of reading their first language.
Sorry you're not intelligent enough to read a few small paragraphs. Although I can't say stupid people suffer much since ignorance is bliss.

TL;DR;TL;DR I never said minorities don't experience suffering, but saying groups as a whole suffer more than other groups without taking into account personal experience is wrong.
Generalizing human emotion and experience in general is. Labels aren't alive so they can't experience any emotion let alone suffering, and individuals are more important and diverse than a label.
This whole generation of 'I suffer the most because xxx' hopefully will mull over soon.

they're not equal, that doesn't mean they don't exist. otherwise because the suffering endured by children in third world countries doesn't compare to the suffering of gay people getting called "f****t" and trans people getting called "tranny", homophobia and transphobia don't exist.
discrimination and suffering aren't fucking contests, jesus christ. quit your bitching.

I'm comparing them to show you exactly why your argument is bullshit, but I can't say I expected a dumbass like you to understand such a complex idea.

Wow man you are dumb. She's saying that just as Homophobia and Transphobia are still legit regardless of the existence of Starving kids in Africa Cisphobia and Heterophobia are still legit regardless of the existence of their more extreme and violent counterparts.
The fact that you couldn't read that...wow...take off those ideological lenses mate they've turned everything you read to shit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And thanks for missing the entire point of everything I said.
Heterophobia and cisphobia will never be real because they are not institutionalized forms of discrimination and oppression. Nobody has ever been denied human rights solely because they were straight or cisgender.
I am glad I can still make people pissy about that weeks after I stopped giving a shit about what I've said here, though. Thanks.

How did I do that? Something tells me you just don't agree with me and think anyone who doesn't follow your perspective blindly is your enemy.
Or perhaps you disagree with my comment about 2016? No, actually, I think it's neither, I think you're just throwing insults for the heck of it. That about right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Institutionalization is the new definition not the old definition. Nobody here accepts that definition as anything but bunk. The basis of your argument is not recognised as valid. As I said take off that ideological lense. Nobody outside your ideology uses those definitions.
It's still 2016 on your comment, ergo it's fair game.

I honestly don't see why so many people hate cis people. Like, not ALL cis people are transphobic. And what's wrong with identifying as the gender you were born as? Is it just too NORMAL and BORING for everyone?
I as a cis person doesn't give a sh!t if your trans or not. Just be who you wanna be, I won't judge you just because I identify as the gender I was born in.

I love to make fun of people who try to be edgy and say 'I love to punch cishets' like fuck off not every single person outside of your tumblrina circle is the fuckin devil alright. give people a chance and if theyre not intentionally hurting you t e a c h t h e m. like damn stop being lazy and start doing something about it if it bothers you so much

Kid, I've answered your question over and over again and I'm not going to repeat myself any more to a throw-away troll account.
If you're making a fool of yourself, that's your problem, not mine.
You're the only one spewing insults and racist slurs here.
Stop using your throw-away account to attack trans people and racial minorities.
It's pathetic.

i just hope you don't add me to the group of people you say are trying to kill you because of two reasons. 1: if i am wrongly accused of ANYTHING, i go ballistic-ally nuclear. 2: i'd rather see you relaxing in a soft & comfy chair.

so you'd rather add me to the group of people that want to kill you when i don't want to hurt or kill you...?? why???
