Shemale porn is hurting the cause of transgender people a lot more than some comedians ever will.
But I don't see Cream bitching about that. Probably too busy jerking off to it.
Lol your arguments are just getting embarrassing now. Maybe you haven’t seen me complain about ”shemale” (a really transphobic terminology) porn because no one has brought it up until you right now?
Porn in general has a lot of problematic elements, related to things like treatment of women and race and trans people too. The problem is that I don’t think there’s been enough research into whether the porn is furthering those issues by buying into the stereotypes and taboos, or if the porn is just a symptom of them. I would like to bet that it is definitely very harmful overall, but I’m not sure exactly to what affect. I’ve noted plenty of circumstances where a man will only regard a trans woman as a sex object. This ties into sexism as much if not more than it does transphobia. Honestly a lot of transphobia, especially the hatred of trans women, is rooted in sexism.
So much of the conversation about trans women immediately goes to their genitalia, which is very telling. I’d definitely think the porn contributes to this.
What I do know is that some trans porn stars, like Bailey Jay have worked hard to vocalize these issues and also show the world that they are more than their bodies. She has a YouTube channel where she answers questions and does interviews and anecdotally, I know that she has contributed to changing some people’s views on trans issues.
If there were any high profile comedians, trans or otherwise, making a different approach not rooted in mockery of their identity, I would be more willing to take it as complex. But it’s just high profile famous comedians doing the most bottom of the barrel 4chan-level “cheeseburger” mocking.
So, Samir, what’s your next disingenuous transphobic straw man? Please keep them coming. I love how much you’re deflecting
