Former WWE superstar (Tyler Reks) comes out as transgender

Bayek said:
Yeah okay. He's never going to have a period or get pregnant. Super brave though, congrats.

--ALEX-- said:

I mean, plenty of women don’t get pregnant...that doesn’t mean anything.

I’m gonna sound pretty lefty right now, but...genders are indeed a social construct so it is what it is.

Bayek said:
Right, well I'm going to socially construct the fact that big boy is still a big guy. The fact that you're even making a "trans" distinction proves that you fundamentally see differences between men & women.

Bayek said:
I think it's cool we live in a world that holds a political gun to your head and tells you to accept that this is beautiful by pain of social death. Super brave & congrats.

Opticflash said:


Wouldn't it be 😎 to be in a world where you don't get insulted, bullied, abused, discriminated against, threatened, beaten, raped, and murdered simply for choosing to transition, one where people mind their own business and don't intervene in others' personal matters? I think such a world would be great to live in.

Bayek said:
Yeah, you're going to solve all of those problems by militantly pushing a "personal matter" onto the rest of the population and demanding legislation that forces everyone to comply. That's going to end really well.

OP Wants people to accept Trans and gay people no matter what, yet won't accept someone else's opinion or beliefs and spends his days arguing with Right wingers about how their views are invalid because it doesn't align with theirs.

The only "belief" here is active hostility and discrimination against transgendered people merely out of ignorance and disgust.

stop the strawman of a .01% of woman who have medical issues that don't let them get pregnant or have periods.
Most woman can. All transgender woman cannot

Zeroflamez said:

Who said anything about me discriminating or being hostile towards Transgender people? People should be allowed to believe what they want to believe. If someone doesn't like Transgenders then that is their business. As OP said though "we live in a world that is becoming more and more accepting" Yes it's more accepting not because people necessarily want to be, it's because they are being forced to conform or face punishment. When you're forcing people to conform to your beliefs that isn't true acceptance. That's called dictatorship. But hey, I guess some people would rather live in a dream world where people are pretending and being phony instead of a world where people are being real about how they feel and what they believe.

Opticflash said:


Notice I did not use the word "you"; I was referring to society as a whole, particularly many right wingers.

Can you tell me what "beliefs" these non accepting people hold that isn't analogous to immature school bullying at best and systemic violence at worst? "You're not a woman you fucking faggot, stop pretending you are" - we should tolerate this? The only "belief" here is discrimination or encouragement of discrimination.

Zeroflamez said:

The issue is these non accepting people believe everything is bullying. Just having an opinion that is "toxic" is considered being a bully.

marrmm said:


Pretty shocking, and lmao maybe. That would be a first, but "she's" still too buff in stature.

Opticflash said:


Sure, what are some examples of "opinions" these non-accepting people say towards a transgendered person's face or through social media that is not considered bullying or hostile?

Edocchi said:

I'd love to see it tbh. We won't see anyone complaining about "Trans athletes dominating the sport" because it's fucking WWE lol.

Zeroflamez said:

Yeah I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince of you anything. Believe what you want.

Opticflash said:


Yeah you can't give a cogent argument at all. I merely asked for some examples - in fact any would suffice lol. Don't worry, your case is quite typical.

Zeroflamez said:

Even if I did give examples, you would find a way to discredit it or down play. I know how your type is. It's pointless to bother and I have other shit I'd rather do than try to convince you cause it wouldn't matter how much I brought to the table you still would still believe there is no legitimacy to anything I claim. So as I said, believe what you want.

Opticflash said:


If I'm able to discredit it, maybe your argument just isn't as cogent as you think.

What's more noteworthy is you didn't even attempt to. Is it because
1. You actually don't have a good argument at all
2. You think the opponent will be stubborn

? Obviously you will claim 2., however some other people will wonder whether you are actually an intelligent person who has rational viewpoints and can defend them.

Zeroflamez said:

I can defend them, I just can't be bothered to on the internet. I have better things to do than prove my intelligence and view points to some persons opinion doesn't mean shit to me.

Opticflash said:


That's very interesting, considering that you decided to invest your time into several back and forth posts with an internet user and in turn consuming much more time than what you could have used to write one or two sentences describing an example to support your argument. Very interesting indeed.

Good for her.

I haven't watched WWE in many years, but I did remember Tyler Reks....

Dude was massive, just like every other WWE Superstar, never thought he'd be Trans, but here we are.

I think it's cool we live in a world that has become more and more accepting to Trans people and even individuals who once were the definition of "Masculinity" are now able to be their true self.

Zeroflamez said:

It's even more interesting that I've told you twice I refuse to explain myself yet you still won't fuck off. Why do you want to see an example so fucking badly? What you're doing is exactly what I'm talking about, people like you just can't accept someone having a view point that's different from yours and move on. You need them to explain themselves so you can try and prove them how wrong they are. Then when they refuse to do it you try to pressure them into it like you're doing now. I'm not explaining myself, you can believe what you want to believe. I don't give a shit about what you think. You talk about bullying but you're trying to bully me into explaining myself. This is my last post. I've wasted enough time already.The past 2 posts you've made just proves my point how you people are not accepting.

Opticflash said:


Speaking of the blatant hypocrisy right here by continuing to reply to an internet user you have no interest in arguing against.

Remember that time you complained about your ban by trying to undermine your comment towards Australians, claiming it wasn't offensive, when a mod had to publicly post your quote and tell you you were lying, to which you couldn't give a rebuttal for? Does that prove that whatever you think isn't bullying is considered bullying by just about everyone else?

A fake athlete becoming a fake woman. How amusing. Will they let him fake wrestle with actual women? Or will they just have him fake wrestle with other men pretending to women?. Or will he just fake wrestle with normal men? What would really be hilarious is if they had him fake wrestle a woman pretending to be a man and then loony leftist can falsely claim that a woman beat a man at wrestling.

Zeroflamez said:

Wow you really won't get off my dick will you? Imagine being that much of a fucking waste of space with no fucking life that you have to sit there harassing people on the internet all day. I've told you 3 fucking times, I DO NOT WANT TO INTERACT WITH YOU. Yet you keep replying like your fucking life depends on it. You know what? it's okay, there's a special place in my block list just for you.
