Amazon Target and Walmart Remove "Tranny Granny" Costume from Stores because LGBTQ community regards it offensive.... (activist, death)

[Jimmyp25]

So what’s the problem? Well, let’s start with the word “tranny.” The LGBTQ community regards it as an offensive term for a transsexual (one who was assigned one biological sex at birth but identifies as the other); in particular, a person who was born biologically male but identifies as female.
Transgender activist Ashlee Marie Preston explained to Mic how the term “tranny” is offensive.
“The word ‘tranny’ and the stigma associated with it is often used to humiliate, dehumanize and degrade transgender women in a way that challenges and discredits our womanhood. When society refuses to view us as women, we are instantly filed away under the ‘it’ category and stripped of our humanity.”




Talk About Political Correctness At Its finest. GEESH!!! What is the hell is wrong with this World.

Are political correctness and polite society the same thing ????

I mean, would you feel the same if it was the n word we were talking about, I doubt it. One is just more acceptable to say than the others in the minds of many.

LGBTQ should have been outraged when Obama supported the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, or when Clinton took millions of dollars from oppressive foreign governments that have death penalty for homosexuality.

Oh boohoo if some fraction of a percent of the population gets offended.

Really? Its Halloween. People dress up. People dress up as anything!! Lebron James, Dead Hookers, Zombies, and so forth. If someone wants to be a Tranny, then be it. People should not have to be subjected to offending someone every corner they turn around.

N word? really? Sexuality and Race are two different categories. Maybe they should name it "transexual Grandma"? Would they make the PC Baby's stop crying?

Yes, but that would have involved the LBGTQXYZ crowd of being something other than blind sycophants of whatever blow-up dolls the Democratic party puts up as candidates.

The argument isnt about race and sexuality, but about derogatory words.

If tranny is considered derogatory by the people it is being directed at, then it is by definition a slur. it is no different than the n word in that context.

If you want to dress up as a tranny you don't need a store bought costume.

[MPowering1]

Who was the stupid buyer who didn't consider this would be tacky and offensive?

A high school student could have made a better call.

On that everyone can agree. A trip to Goodwill is a whole lot cheaper.
