|
Apr 27th 2015 | 9

|
| being a woman is more than just wearing a dress and make up |
|
Apr 27th 2015 | 29
|
| This^^^^ some of us don't wear makeup and dresses. |

Apr 27th 2015 | 32
|
| I think she was saying other people try to make it that simple n/m |
|
Apr 27th 2015 | 33
|
| and i'm saying that it's a slap in the face to transgender folks |
|
Apr 27th 2015 | 35

Apr 28th 2015 | 99
|
| i don't get it either...but it's not for me to get. who am i to judge? |
|
Apr 27th 2015 | 30
|
| sure, we can talk about it, but we can't deny equal rights. |
|
Apr 27th 2015 | 40
|
| ^^^ Yep...this too n/m |
|
Apr 27th 2015 | 41
|
| i agree 100%. |
|
Apr 27th 2015 | 52
|
| Did she say anything about denying rights? |
|
Apr 27th 2015 | 58
|
| she didn't. it's a follow-up question based on the OP. |

| That'd be a 180 based on the quote "I'm all for equal rights of trans |
|
Apr 27th 2015 | 79
|
| it's hard to understand b/c of the other stuff in the OP. |

Apr 27th 2015 | 82

| I'd also like to add |
|
Apr 27th 2015 | 47
|
| do you support equal rights for Trans people? |
|
Apr 27th 2015 | 48
|
| pretty much |
|
Apr 27th 2015 | 51
|
| She said "I'm all for equal rights of trans people" IN the post. |

Apr 27th 2015 | 78

| This is what she said: |
|
Apr 27th 2015 | 81

| Still, how did that come the suspicion that she'd deny them equal |

Apr 28th 2015 | 101

| How does someone born male know what womanhood feels like? |
|
Apr 27th 2015 | 56
|
| they 'know' that they feel wrong in their body |
|
Apr 27th 2015 | 57

| I feel like a white person in a black person's body. |
