In reply to the discussion: You know, I've been on DU for sixteen years... [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)40. I wrote earlier this week how I seriously had to evolve on Transgendered people.
I have always been ok with Gay people because I had a brother who was Gay. But I did not evolve at all on Transgendered people until around 2009-2010 when I had to work closely with a Trans person, until then such people were out of mind for me and when I did rarely think about them, I considered them freaks. But when I actually worked closely with a transgendered person and saw the person's humanity and dreams for her future, my mind started changing to where I am today, Transgendered people have EVERY right to anything that a straight person has a right to, attempts to exclude transgendered people from anything that they have a right to access is immoral and criminal.

I dunno, calling something you don't like "fake news" belies your argument, I'd say.

The original source's veracity is shit, Joy Reid's is not. That's your problem.

What I don't understand, if Joy Reid has such a low following, why the hundreds of threads?
