IKEA had a series of transgender commercials a few years ago-

Now a Florida teen is getting a TV show and a commercial.

Didn't realize Toyota also had transgender commercials-

What is your opinion on people claiming to be transgender?

I ignorantly thought it was mostly an Asian thing but now the Florida kid gets a tv show? That's more disturbing than Honey Boo Boo.

Who cares let people do what makes them happy as long as they are not hurting others. There basically nothing harmful that can come from this.

The fact transgender is now being marketed, somebody must give a fuck.

I love how people care what others do with their lives. If it doesn't hurt you then you shouldn't give a shit.

Waste of time to even be concerned about. I'm more offended by all the stupid people on tv.

I dunno, seems like a normal happy family to me. This kid appears to be extremely lucky to have parents that love her for who she is.





Unfortunately this local kid was not so lucky.

Suicide by truck driver is a pretty shitty thing to do.

I'm guessing so, though I don't really care.

Also, sex and gender are not the same thing.

Correct. And sex dictates he's a he. Penis = male.

I'm not sure you're fully grasping the "transgender" concept.

Actually I don't believe you do.

Gender would be to say a girl wears makeup and boys do not. Sex is the biological and physical makeup of a person.

Why? Transgender doesn't change someone's sex. He is still a he.

AFAIK you're the only female here so I'll ask you, would it bother you have a transgendered person in your restroom/lockeroom? Not trying to start an argument, just want a female opinion.
