CollegeHumor posted this video 2 days ago and I didn't find it very funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMUl6w1efXI I understand it is satire, as usual with CollegeHumor. But somehow I feel like it make transgender people look like they are making sh*t up (which they aren't of course). Like anyone can say they identify as trans-something because transgender people can. Anyway, I'd like to know what you think about this video.
I think it's actually pretty funny. I feel like it is not transphobic because of that one guy, saying the thing about taking language from oppressed people and whatnot. It might actually have a point, because people really do call themselves stuff like "transracial" or whatever and it makes trans people look worse than this would.
As usual, Pat is in place to ground it as not offensive. They're just exploiting how quick people are to jump on to the next new thing without actually considering whether that's right or not.
I think it's funny. They even say in the video that being transgender is real, but a lot of the other stuff people "identify" as is just silly and, like they said, taking language from a real thing to try to justify their thing.
Nah, I think it needs to be said. Like they said in the video, you can't just take language from a real (and quantifiable thing) in order to make up and justify something else. It's like all those straight guys who said they were lesbian because they liked girls too. Video was on point and I was waiting for someone to call out the trans-kin/trans-racial (trans-Jewish, that was on point) thing floating around.
I seen then video and it made me feel right to come out to you guys I was born as a normal person but am an trans spoderman so i hav sweg But when I did see it I thought it was hillarious
Thanks for your input! Now let me clarify, I wasn't offended by the video. I just think they should have made a better job of discrediting the 4 lunatics that come out as trans-whatever. The one that ended up looking like a lunatic was the guy (Pat) defending transgender people. Anyway I know it's no big deal, and I know there are bigger issues than this. P.S. Also as usual don't read the comments under the video...
Trans-patphobe trans-star-signphobe trans-emojiphobe trans-jewishphobe trans-pacmanphobe that is what pat is and you defend him wtf
It's funny, I had JUST watched this video before logging in lol I understand what you mean with stressing that these people really were being rediculous. That being said, this was hilarious!! "Oy vey!" "I really wish you would stop saying that."
