Yeah I think in the case of Ne-Yo he was just being a hateful d***head. But yea I’m moreso in the case of transition whenever and do surgeries as an adult.
This whole subject is touchy though. I just feel like it should be handled with care and we shouldn’t brush kids off or just rush s*** either, especially when this experience would be different for each one involved
1000%. It’s really just one of those situations where the best thing he coulda done is know what he has the knowledge to speak on intelligently and minded his own business from there
Ne-Yo, whose stage name is inspired by The Matrix, (directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski) expresses transphobic sentiments
Truth be told I don’t think Ne-Yo cares about the surgery s***. The goldfish comment told me everything I needed to know Lmaoo

Sooo I didn't realize the goldfish thing was a legit quote, look man obviously I don't agree with the surgery before 18 (which was never mentioned to begin with) but man yall don't see the problem with just completely ignoring and trashing what somebody identify as? It's such a non factor in life and has no legit effects on anybody but that person. If they wanna try dressing different and it makes them happier in life then cool, if it doesn't work out then that's cool too they're still just trying to find their place.
We're at a place where politicians are running entire presidential campaigns on attacking these people, you don't have to lean into that by degrading them into a f***ing fish. Nobody is forcing these kids to do anything but be comfortable with themselves

Ne-Yo def just wanted to get some s*** off his chest lol cuz the goldfish comment had nothing to do with anything
You know, the conversation on children transitioning is kind of a wild/interesting one in retrospect. To a certain extent, you can almost understand why some people are opposed to it in the sense of not being full educated on the procedure how it works, though on the other hand it begs the question of their feelings on medicating them for mental health issues such as depression/anxiety and how those are also come with effects that could mess up body development.
I appreciate the fact he wants to do more research on it, even if he has a presupposed biased coming into it.

^ this guy gets it.

Right like I read the apology and was wondering what the big deal was but then I saw that s*** and it all just started clicking lol
There's so many dumbasses that just think supporting someone's transition means they're immediately getting some Dead Space necromorph limb cutting treatment.
"Why can't we agree to disagree" is my favorite response when you confront someone about beliefs that is actively getting people killed.
Stupid ass mentality
You typing this message on your phone got people killed, in the Chinese sweatshops that are manufacturing your phones on bread crumb wages
If you wanted to boycott everything that is getting people killed you would lose your privileged middle class suburban lifestyle kid
this is what the guys on the right do. try to make the people s***ting on ne-yo seem crazy, like he's just being reasonable when it comes to parents and surgeries for their children, right?
the guy straight up makes a mockery of trans people by bringing up goldfish. and basically says i won't even recognize how a trans person identifies themselves.
it's never about the surgeries it's just a shield for them to hide their hate behind
I was misinformed and did not know the goldfish quote was legit and not just in this thread. Not on the right and apologies for an insensitive comment, have a good night broski

That's Plies

I agree in general but it's ignorant to pretend that this won't have any tangible effect on people's lives beyond the individual. Any time the social strata undergoes a large shift there will be greater effects. That goes for everything. Whether or not those effects are good or bad is up to you and your beliefs. Nonetheless people shouldn't be attacked.
