Long ago, like around 20 years ago, there were no "non-binary" or "genderfluid" or "queer" or all these shits
We only had LGB and we started talking about the T

I'd like to know though, what is the difference between the T back then (Transexuals) and the T today (Transgender)?
Because transgender almost seem "annoyed" to be called transexual today... is there really a difference?

In Mexico there's three kinds of "T's"

Transgénero
Transexual
Travesti

Transgender is someone who's transitioning.
Transexual is someone who feels different.
Travesti is someone who dresses.


Did you also knew LGB used to beat the shit out of T's for not being "normal"? (neither gays nor lesbians)

Transexual isn't inherently offensive, it's just an outdated term, mostly used by bigoted people nowadays.
They essentially mean the same thing.

That's discrimination yo.
as it pleases you.
But for us, travestism isnt part of the T
However, identifying as the opposite gender, as in just identifying, not having the surgery, that is part of the T

Because travestism can be many other things, it can be part of a job for example

Transexual isn't generally a common term anymore used to describe trans people, nowadays its an offensive term to discriminate them, used by bigoted idiots. Even though they mean the same, you should not use it in any way shape or form.

Who made you the police of deciding if its offensive? Some people still use it but most prefer transgender. Hell there is a full Wikipedia article about it! The history, the medical terms etc.

I didn't really need to hear your opinion on this. Don't even trust Wikipedia as a reliable resource.

WHO is probably better then. It's still used in medicial terms today.
Or some government pages?

Some "Do and Don't" from NY

People still use transsexual. It's not common but it do exist.

I totally agree with you
My boss totally lacked of respect while talking to me, and she told me that she is always respectful when talking to me.
Like... She is the one who decides what is respectful?

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
