implying that men wont vote for her because she's a women (sexist men being the outlier), instead of not voting for her because of her policy and reputation. Awful ad indeed.

Lol.

That campaign is sexist as hell.

Dividing support up by gender.

What a world we live in. You'd think feminists would be behind the first potential first female president, but they are actually behind some old, yellow-toothed, self-identified socialist old guy from Vermont.

The women from Senaca Falls would fall over dead if they saw the campaign HRC was running. RIP Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lydia Maria Francis Child, Frances Wright and all others that worked to make gender a non-issue in America.

I mean, to look at it another way, I (as an atheist) could do the same thing with religion. I could easily go out and find absolutely ridiculous social media postings/videos of religious people who espouse stupidity and hatred and then make all very similar claims or conclusions people do about the transgender community.

"Look how hateful religion is!"
"This is what religion REALLY looks like!"
"Why don't Christians work to better their image and address other Christians who are like this?!"

I don't do that though because that's absurd. If I really want a valid and substantial representation of religion/religious people, then I go out and look for it, like consult with IceMage rather than tumblr.




Yeah.. this kid is definitely confused

I was going to ask earlier how many of these people are just involved in this for the fad aspect then I stumbled upon the label "transtrenders" and found Milo at the top

I wonder that myself. Young people looking for an identity in the world to make them feel unique in some way. Would be interesting to see how many are still transgender after 5-10 years.

They're not confused. Milo's transgender narrative just isn't the traditional transgender narrative seen with folks such as Caitlyn Jenner, Laverne Cox, Janet Mock, Chaz Bono, etc. People are criticizing Milo for simultaneously identifying as transgender with masculine pronouns while also occasionally wearing dresses. In these peoples' mind these two factors cannot coexist because a dress is an article of "women's clothing". However, that perspective is not the one shared by Milo, and as such, to Milo there is essentially no "men's clothing" or "women's clothing". There is only "clothing" and consequently Milo, like he says in the video, dresses how he pleases for himself, which includes occasionally wearing dresses. This does not, however, invalidate Milo's transgender identity.

Rather than Milo being confused, I would say that it is other people who're confused because their current understanding of what it means to be transgender is limited to traditional transgender narratives, and any iteration that exists outside of that traditional narrative is deemed invalid. It is a form of transgender gate keeping, and very unbecoming.

The way Milo speaks just annoys me incredibly. It's the same with so many other Youtube vloggers. The self-righteous know-it-all, jump cutting after every other word to create their version of the truth. Bleh.

It's just how the medium is, I suppose.

There are major reservations about voting for a woman for POTUS. There has never been one. HRC is obviously the best candidate by head and shoulders yet there is still all this competition.

I thought she was gonna win in 2008. My wife called it for Obama early on, stating that people just don't want a woman for boss, and that even a black man has a better chance to become president than a woman. She was right.
