I got a female cousin that started living as a man, she gave us like a week to start calling her by her male name and “he/him“, after that she started catching an attitude and quickly correcting us if we referred to her as a woman/she/female name, etc... We all started rewording our sentences so we'd always be able to say her male name so we wouldn't mistakenly say “she“ and she caught an attitude about that too.

JK wild. Man fuck trans and LGBQT. Y’all letting Britney sit in jail over there in Russia and ain’t said shit about him!
Did you refer to Britney as him?.... I haven't seen anything in the news about her pronouns changing and other WNBA players have called Britney "her/ she,"....I think they would know.
in my family that wouldn't end well at all..
It was tough for like 6 months because she was 23 when all this happened so imagine calling somebody one thing for 23 years and then they not only want but expect for you to start calling them something else almost immediately. It was like at family get togethers, on social media, in our family group chats she was listening closely to everything that was said/wrote to see if somebody said her female name or called her “she“. This was like 3 years ago and since she's family we honored her wishes, I think only one of my brothers still slips up when he gets a few drinks in him..lol
in my family that wouldn't end well at all..
Aye I got a cousin that used to do drag......that mfkr still goes by he/him and he got hands.....nobody disrespects him, haha
you guys are lucky
in my fam - older aunts & uncles - dgaf...
overheard quote from a bbq: Auntie "don't know why you would choose to be a fag... love you nephew..."
It's amazing. 3 fucking pages of everyone agreeing with her. But when the supreme court justice didn't have the heart to define 'woman' because of these alphabet horseshit, it was fucking crickets or plea coppin'. Fuck is going on? 
Expect a DM from Megatranny X asking for his number
How many Trans Women got out and protested the repealing of Roe Vs Wade.
What is the agenda behind this shit? Is it just money (and whose money?) or what? What’s the goal? How did something that, I’d assume, 95% of humanity regards as bizarre accelerate the way the transgender idea has? Gays and lesbians campaigned for decades for gay marriage so I don’t get how trans has been able to move so quickly.
I guess you’re right. It’s because the same white men are behind it.
Trans piggybacked on the gay agenda just like gays piggybacked on the civil rights movement.
Coldblooded
They gonna mess up going after long time allies

But hey, there isn't an issue on Twitter with shit working one way and censorship.
It's perfectly fine to attack this BLACK WOMAN because she doesn't promote the narrative. Nothing happens to those people. That's why they do this shit. She is getting the JK Rowling special. Meanwhile, just make one comment that doesn't fit the narrative, Twitter ban.
And folks wonder why Elon Musk was able to pull the shit he pulled. People know what's happening but most are just bullied into submission.

Damn, Pride Month ended less than a week ago and we’re already back on our anti-trans bullshit? Over the weekend, a clip of Macy Gray making some wildly transphobic comments in an interview with Piers Morgan went viral. In it, she said trans women who receive gender-affirming surgery aren’t really women. And on Tuesday, she claimed she was “grossly misunderstood.”
Baited by certified transphobe Piers Morgan, who asked Gray for her definition of a “woman,” the “Sweet Baby” singer said she believed women to be “a human being with boobs… and a vagina.” She also later agreed with the interviewer that trans women have no place in women’s sports.
“I will say this and everyone’s gonna hate me, but as a woman, just because you go change your parts, doesn’t make you a woman, sorry… I know that for a fact,” the singer said. “Like if you want me to call you a ‘her,’ I will, ‘cause that’s what you want, but that doesn’t make you a woman just ‘cause I call you a ‘her.’ “
In the interview, the singer explained that a trans person “finding [themself]” doesn’t make trans women, women, but that “you could call yourself whatever you want.”
Let’s be clear: trans people’s gender identities are not defined by their genitals. Whatever body part people have between their legs is no one’s business. But isn’t Gray contradicting her own “boobs and a vagina” narrow-minded definition of womanhood here?
“Being a little girl is a whole epic book and you can’t have that just because you want to be a woman,” she added.
It seems that Gray doesn’t understand that trans women — regardless of the sex they were assigned at birth — are simply women. GLAAD defines gender identity as “a person’s internal, deeply held knowledge of their own gender.” Trans people’s gender identities are not built on anatomical differences, but on their own sense of identity and expression — and unlike, Gray’s definition, it’s not something you can simply “see.”
GLAAD Accountability Project, we’re gonna need your help explaining this one to Ms. Gray.
During the televised conversation, Morgan brought up his fellow British transphobe J.K. Rowling, who has become infamous for her think-pieces and tweet threads invalidating trans experiences.
Gray defended her. “But it’s the truth,” Gray said. “And I don’t think you should be called transphobic just because you don’t agree… there’s a lot of judgment and throwing stones at people for just saying what it is.”
(The Harry Potter writer tweeted on Tuesday that “today feels like a good day to ensure I’ve bought @MacyGraysLife’s entire back catalog.”)
Fast-forward to Tuesday, after Gray received all this backlash, she tried to find a way to backtrack her comments and pretend like she was simply “misunderstood.” In a statement to Rolling Stone, she said, “I have nothing but love for the LGBTQ+ and transgender community and have been a supporter since Day One.”
She added, “My statement on Piers Morgan was grossly misunderstood. I don’t hate anyone. I respect everyone’s right to feel comfortable in their bodies and live their own truth.”
She also went on a “reply” tirade on Twitter telling one guy there was “no bigger admirer of the LGBT community” than herself, adding that, actually, for her, “‘women’ is a title that you earn and become… there are plenty of females who aren’t women yet.”
Looking at the facts, 2021 alone was the “deadliest year” for transgender and gender non-conforming folks. Three hundred seventy-five people were murdered worldwide last year alone, according to Transrespect versus Transphobia.
One thing’s for sure: Gray’s antiquated, misguided, and hateful rhetoric surrounding trans people is the type of sentiment that has had deadly consequences. The violent killings of trans Black women Brazil Johnson and Kitty Monroe last week are just the most recent examples.
Like her forthcoming LP’s name, maybe it’s time for Macy Gray to Reset her beliefs surrounding transness.

I see your point, but don't use your example to make your point. There are plenty of women who are not trans who don't have periods, or are unable to bear children for various reasons.
What fucks me up is CAC's can be whatever the fuck they want and DEMAND you address them as such, but black folk can't be treated human no matter how many lives of black men, women and babies are lost, no matter how many marches, no matter how many political seats/offices we hold, no matter how many basketball/football/track/acting championships, gold medals and awards we win.
Dave said it best...
"I have been arguing with the Whites my entire career. Just when I thought I had you guys on the ropes, you changed all the rules:
_'Oh Yea?'
-'Yeah motherfucker!'
-'Well...'
'I am girl now n*gger, and you must treat me as such! Call me a girl, n*gger!' " (c) Dave Chappelle
Also, Macy is absolutely right
But I'm telling you this group continuing to mess this up attacking long time ally and supporters
It’s Time for Bette Midler to Delete Her Twitter
The “Beaches” star and fount of terrible takes is truly unbearable on the social media app.
This is mad confusing is this a woman or man? I’m being serious too. Is this a woman who turned man? Or a woman who thinks she’s a man? WTF B!?!?
