I have to make a confession. Whenever one of you makes a multiparagraph post I take the first few phrases and bring it to "Talk to Transformer". I prefer AI enhanced content.

So, this is my introduction for you. I guess anyone who has done some research on transgender politics in India is not far off the mark here. It would be naive to think that such a small population doesn't support such issues (or it wouldn't be a large enough one).

The problem that we encounter is that transgenders and trans women can become invisible and marginalised within feminist movements because of this. But this is the unfortunate reality. We must never let our hopes or fears make us shy away from doing something.

We are going to need a few lessons to help us be visible in the mainstream and to make other communities see us as a part of their communities. Not only that, but it is important to show respect for those in the community who choose to live as transgender.

You can read the rest of my article at http://bit.ly/4vD3ZU2

Ok Chairmanpoo, I understand the bit about Talktotransformer, but I don't see how your transgender politics blog fits into the conversation.

Ok Chairmanpoo, I understand the bit about Talktotransformer, but I don't see how your transgender politics blog fits into the conversation.

I just wanna say that it's not me you are talking about. It's my friend, and his friend. The article in question is no longer accessible. Here's the relevant part:

"So… that's one of my friends saying to me, 'That is my name.' And I go, 'Fuck.' It's not mine. I'm so glad that you realized your name."

This is the same friend who has posted links and images to the article on Facebook. When I called him to get back to me, he told me that he'd deleted it and was deleting his links.

The Canadian version of the Joker is a little less scary than the American one.

I accidentally fisted a box of safety pins, and let me tell you, that is not safe. I was making some buttons today, and swapped out an empty box for a full one, but muscle memory kicked in and I tried to stuff my hand in too hard.

This exchange reminds me of the good ship venus. Alas, safety pin doesn't fit nearly as well as broken glass.

What if that's their fetish? You can't just go around kink shaming, man.

This OG student lad just went up to random KFCs and pretended he was corporate.
> "Hello, KFC how can I help ya."

>> *slaps table* "Hi, I'm a quality assurance manager for the region, I'm going to need to sample all the KFC."

> "What?! All the KFC?!"

>> "Yes. All the KFC."

>...."uh..okay."

>> *Proceeds to go to back room, start nibbling on as much chicken as he wants whilst complaining about the standards of hygiene.* Apparently he was well-known and after two years everyone just assumed he was from corporate.

So I assume the punishment was having to eat KFC.

It was in South Africa and he had a forged business card and turned up in a limo.

In my country if someone turned up in a limo and tried to tell me they were from head office they’d have their head taken off.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

That, or they have a dangerously wrong understanding of what a "head office" actually is.

I feel like as the resident South African I should step in and say something that makes everything clear, but no, I'm really at a loss. Any explanations I can come up with are either inaccurate racial stereotypes or just "weird stuff happens in KZN".
