OK, so i'm wiped out from packing all day (as i'm about to move), so i pour myself a glass of wine and i'm flicking thru the channels and i stop on an hbo channel that has taxi cab confessions, which i've never seen before. and i'm sure that they've had many episodes about all sorts of different things. but of course the one time i tune in is a scene where a guy is with his trans girlfriend, and he's bragging about how he's straight and not gay, and she's going off about how she doesn't see herself as a woman because she can't bare babies, and the cab driver is asking her about sex change surgeries, and she's sharing with him all of her friends' worst case scenarios, and i just wanna fucking kick the tv in. but i won't, because it's my fucking tv, and i'd end up having to buy a new one.
message to the boyfriend: I agree with you that having a trans girlfriend doesn't make you gay. but you are way too defensive about it. people will mock you because you are too chickenshit to admit what you like and who you are.
message to the trans person: if you identify as a man or as something other than woman or man, i will totally have your back. but when you insinuate that anyone who can't bare children isn't a woman, well then me and my trans sisters and a very significant percentage of the cis female population have a bone to pick with you. and by the way, it's completely fucked for you to share your friend's horrific SRS experiences with some media cab drivin' creep. they will be so fucking pisssed at you...
message to the taxi cab driver. you are a fucking scumbag. not because you are a cab driver but because you are just another media pimp of trans folk. NYC cab drivers pick up *lots* of trans people, but you decide to show us the insecure straight guy with the trans woman who doesn't think she's a woman and who is all to eager to fink on her friend's bad bottom surgery experiences. i'm sure you'll probably win an emmy or some other stupid fucking cis shit award for your groundbreaking "edgy" work...
