  • The core topic of this conversation was our very disagreement about that assertion. You say you can tell (and that it’s obvious), and I say you cannot. Then we discussed the merits of each position. I thought that was clear much earlier on, so it seems strange to me that you’re only now realizing that we have that disagreement.

    this phenomenon is not exclusive to trans people.

    We agree on this. Now, can you see why framing something that is not exclusive to trans people as “looking trans” is transphobic? Can you see how people would use things described as “looking trans”, even when they are in no way exclusive to trans people, purely because they were described that way? And how that can be problematic? Such as “transvestigators” (like TERFs) incorrectly identifying and targeting cis women with hatred.

    there is a common set of characteristics associated with any kind of surgical or hormonal body modification

    So do you not see any irony that we’re talking about a cis man who has had surgical modifications and people are saying he “looks trans”? Do you not see how that undercuts your point at all?






  • There’s way too many to list my favourites. Stargate SG-1 is practically half comedy imho. It’s one of the things I really felt was missing from Universe; the tone was just all wrong. This was perhaps most succinctly demonstrated by the “shaky cam” spaceship sequences.

    On a lighter note, from the same episode as Alar quote:

    • “Their planet is on fire and you want to offer them gasoline?”
    • “We are in fact offering them water.”
    • “I was obviously speaking metaphorically.”
    • “Well stop it! It’s not fair to Teal’c.”

    I also love

    • “Daniel Jackson’s preliminary electroencephalogram proved anomalous.”
    • “I dare you to say that again.”
