WHINY AND BROKEN: The Linguistic Minefield Of Today’s Politically Correct Tranny

I’m a tranny.

And it’s time to admit that the biggest threat to the continued public acceptance of trans folk is not Donald Trump, the conservative agenda or Russia; the biggest threat comes from the transgendered left and their so called “allies.”

Leftist transgender people and their bald-headed, hairy-arm-pitted, pink-dyed-pubic-haired, non-binary friends (a gender identity, or lack thereof, by the way, that has no scientific backing) are doing more harm to the public perception of trans people than the most verbally abusive transphobic incel who is angry because they can’t get laid.

Each day, the habitually angry leftist LGBT “community” is creating semantic rules that are all but impossible to navigate unless you have helped lay the groundwork yourself. They’ve created a minefield with the expectation that the bombs get triggered, so that they themselves can get psychologically triggered.

Hey Mr. Cis dude reading this  —  scratch that, I hate that fucking word. Hey Mr. NORMAL dude, I bet you didn’t know it’s wrong to say ‘transgendered’ now. Apparently the ‘ed’ at the end of the word is offensive. And no, it’s not because the angry leftist LGBT crowd thinks it represents the name “Ed” and it triggers them as they try to escape a masculine past. Their reasoning is actually even more absurd. They feel it invalidates a transgender person because people don’t become transgendered. They are born that way.

The angry leftist LGBT crowd is delving into linguistics purposely to find a way to get upset. They argue that it’s because it’s grammatically incorrect, but that is arguable at best, and, people don’t get offended over grammar. This is more than just “grammar” to them. But hey, what do I know, I’m just a left-hand, disable transgender person.

Another word bomb that has trans people diving for cover is the word “tranny” (a personal favorite word of mine, by the way). Many trans people have begun to equate it to the n-word — a claim so ignorant that I’m shocked more people of color haven’t left the leftist-sphere. Given that words history with oppression and slavery, to even try to equate it with “tranny” is ridiculous. The most trans folk know of oppression and slavery is when their dominant daddy ties them to the bed and spanks them — oh, and the oppression of free thought that the left has become masters of, but more about that later.

The problem with trying to ban the word “tranny” as so many are attempting to do, is that it ignores the historical context of language. No word, strictly by itself, is inherently offensive. Not even the n-word. Why? Because language is ALL about context. It’s why black rappers frequently use that word and why it’s even a term of endearment between black friends. Even as a white girl, I can use the word appropriately if I am not using it with any intent to insult. That is the key, because as stated, any word can be used offensively. It’s about actively distinguishing the meaning behind how a word is used.

A major problem of the left is the desire to control vocabulary. They want to trust mainstream corporate entities — and, of course, themselves — with the power to dictate what constitutes hate speech. The fault lies with the fact that, to them, the mere use of a word can cause offense. It doesn’t matter if you use “tranny” while discussing the transmission of your car, or if you’re transgender yourself and use “tranny” as a personal label. They just want to blanket-ban words.

This isn’t merely offensive to our right to freedom of speech; it’s offensive to the entire history of language.

Just this very week, I — a fucking trans woman — have been labeled as a transphobic terf (which means “trans-exclusionary radical feminist”). My crime? I used the word “tranny” and argued that, in my context, I clearly wasn’t using it to discriminate against trans folk.

Man, are we sure these trans people identify as women and not shards of glass? Because damn, they sure are fragile.

These people even cry depending on whether you put a space in transwoman or not. I am not joking. I think it’s not offensive if you say it as trans woman with a space, but honestly I don’t even care to check. I’m not going to waste my time googling nonsense, because — guess what — none of this fucking matters!

Outspoken trans activists want to appear way more oppressed than they really are. To achieve this, they need to be able to prove just how discriminatory everyone is towards them. But since this doesn’t match up to reality, they have changed reality to make it line up with them. They have created linguistic rules that the common person has no way of knowing, so that when some ordinary person accidentally activates a semantic trap on Twitter or elsewhere, these angry trans folk can dogpile on them and call them out for being “transphobic.”

These people want to be oppressed because the left awards those that are victims, and now they’re in the most ironic dick-measuring contest of all time in an effort to prove which identity group is the most victimized.

This is even evident in how these wannabe victims misuse stats. In 2017, there were 28 transgendered individuals across the United States who were murdered. LGBT advocates would like you to believe that these people were all murdered due to their gender identity. However, in many cases, there is little to no evidence of this.

Hell, that statistic even includes three dumbasses who thought it was a good idea to charge law enforcement with knives.

Fun fact: That same year, multiple normal people were killed by police for the same reason — so, clearly, gender identity played no role in their deaths-by-cop.

This idea that we’re being murdered en masse has even led to some laughably bad claims. Remember the shrill voiced psychotic trans girl who heckled Rose McGowan at a Barnes and Noble a short while ago? Well, while she was shrieking at the actress she alluded that our deaths are comparable to genocide.

I’m no expert on genocide, but I feel the Jews, Armenians and Rwandans would have a massive problem with this claim.

Now, there’s no denying that general mainstream acceptance of trans people has a ways to go. But what these activists don’t realize is that public perception goes a long way in influencing the laws that dictate our life. To obtain positive change we need to public behind us.

Yet sadly, instead of trying to convince the public to treat us like normal people, trans folk would rather make up lies in an effort to make us out to be more stigmatized than we actually are  –  lies that become obvious with the teensiest amount of research. To make it worse, these same people get offended over the most absurd and ultimately pointless things. And all of this makes us look like the whiniest and most broken people on the planet.

If I roll my eyes at this shit, I can’t even begin to imagine what a non-trans person thinks.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
