Transgenderism ..... ask your questions!

[RitaTG]

After reviewing the incident it seems to me that the outburst was not the proper method to getting the message out.
I feel that anyone doing that would have been shut down.
I do not feel that the president knew who the person was nor was he there to deal with that specific issue and therefore his response was very appropriate.
I feel a better approach would have been to meet the president face to face, one on one, at the social to follow and voice the concerns then. I feel that would have yielded a sympathetic and attentive ear.
Personally I find that I get more accomplished that way.

Have you seen John Oliver's show on transgenderism?

 

[RitaTG]

This is such an important video!
RIGHT ON!!!!
Oh my! ......right on!! ....sadly.....

 

[You just never know]

Ok ... then for Jae and everyone else watching this thread ..... so Jae doesn't feel alone....
Two direct questions please .... and I ask for your honest answer ...please.....
1. In your opinion is homosexuality a sin?
2. In your opinion is transgenderism a sin?
I would just like to have a very clear base understanding of everyone's position.
I will not reply in a negative way ..... I just would like to know.
Sincerely
Rita

Now a question for Rita. Was Ed Wood ahead of his time with the movie Glen or Glenda?

What kind a crap comes from da Glen and what comes from Glenda? A'Moor daemons! M ... that disturb the clearer Eire out there as ethereal mystery ... some insist of corrupting it with physical populations ... can you imagine such abstracts?

Curious, have you actually seen it? The only Ed Wood movie I was able to find (at least in the video rental era, I have not gone hunting for his movies online) was the "classic" (for some values of the world "classic") Plan 9 from Outer Space.

Eddy in the forest is a pseudonym for something stirring in the W'odin area right near the end ... Poet Hicks can be phun when attracted by those that don't understand ... yet the Cos still wishes a KISS ... this goes with the disturbance or dissonance in ancient Eris 'n functions of hair rising impulses ...

When you learn to interpret fey rout (path-eh) things, it is a riot of the other kind of chaos from what you don't know (emotional ) .. why as rational behind emotional loss .. or the tune of Joan awe on Hur effect on mortals ... Such is part of the distant meme function of those confined to physical stuff and no aptitude towards metaphysics and abstract mental process ...

Real peole say couldn't a' Ben Hur .. a story of two whoa mens loched in a pit 've sorts ... and the people of the time had little empathy ...

Imagine people not knowing the difference between empathy and sympathy ... and loosing their sense of autonomous thingy's ... like free floating Gods/words ... integrated a huge myth ...

Glen or Glenda, while it briefly comments on sex-change operations, is much more about transvestism than transgenederism (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_or_Glenda)

Yes I rented it years ago on VHS. Ed was in the movie starring as Glen/Glenda and he seemed more interested in wearing his girlfriend's angora sweater than in changing his gender. So Jae is correct it was more about transvestism than transgenderism. On the other hand, it was the early 1950's in the era of McCarthyism so anything outside the mainstream was coded or disguised (like gay guys wearing purple socks so other gay guys would know et cetera) so maybe Glen really did want to be Glenda and had to code his wishes with the angora.

Sort of like a ruagh crossing of heaven (angels on the Cistine ceiling) with gonads blown clear ... then there are demons with even moor missing than what's superficial ... recessive characters ... like Muses? In some traditions that's Moses .. to confuse god's Zoans ... we are on the other side of the play ... or as scientists would say Planck has turned ... if the beam fits better that way ... only the great carp in Terre knows ... if you see it in the stone carve it out ... ammonites were discovered that way ... and clues to pastimes as the passe Dover ... white cliffs and all ... Roman Vessels didn't stand up well in the North Zea ... a myth to Mediterranean Softies ... just wait until they meet Eric ... a redaction of Eris ... alien dissonance of the fey male sort of malleable control?

Thus some parts are mysteriously hammered down in the night and the wee stand-up died ... an etic dripped into the pragmatic pool ...

Sorry .... I don't recognize this actor's name nor have I ever heard of the movie

 

[You just never know]

Don't feel bad it wasn't a great film, you didn't miss much.

Ed Wood was a producer/director in the 50's who was known for several somewhat "quirky" (some would say downright bad) movies. "Glen or Glenda" was basically about transvestism (? - is that the correct word).

Yes Steven, that's the correct word.

Transvestism is a term mostly used in the UK......
No matter ..... it would seem that this movie exemplifies the stereotype that my generation grew up under and to this day fuels the fear mongering that is used to fight the so called "bathroom bills".

Respectfully, Rita, shouldn't you watch it before you judge it? I saw it a long time ago admittedly, and of course I can't view it from the perspective of a transgendered person, but my memory is that the movie was - especially considering when it was made - fairly sympathetic to the Glen/Glenda character. It's also worth noting that Wood himself was - in the lingo of the day - a "cross dresser."

That wasn't Ed Wood's intent. From the Wikipedia article, "The film is a docudrama about cross-dressing and transsexuality, and is semi-autobiographical in nature. Wood himself was a cross-dresser, and the film is a plea for tolerance"

I stand corrected revsdd and Jae ..... I was going by the tone of the movie poster.....
I will admit my viewpoint is coloured in this regard.
I have a very difficult time watching any movie with a transgender theme.
