I didn't call you a ****** or a transvestite.

I agree with the context you gave in the example but that's not what happened.

I didn't use it in a negative way at all. It was a blunt and neautral observation.

Lara looks like a transvestite with that mod.

I do not think she looks "trans" or "transgender." My statement has nothing to do with a transgendered person.

In that picture, with that mod, she looks (in my opinion) like a man dressing up as a woman. Which is what a transvestite is.

And NOT what a transgender person is.

This Lara wasn't developed to use makeup at all. Even though the mod is cool.
Someone could make a mod where you could use any outfit in paititiland. Now that would be awesome.

She wears the normal outfits in the benchmarks.

Which is the biggest middle finger lol


I don't mind wearing the forced outfit when you're breaking into to free Unuratu but anything else is like :/ ugh...

I don't mean to aggravate the subject even more, but to me the way you (SoraSakai) said she looks like a transvestite felt like you said it in a way that it sounded like an insult, transvestite is perceived mostly as a slur mostly due to being used as an insult for many years, cross dresser (which is what I assume you were referring to) is a more acceptable term now.

we shouldn't be quick to attack someone, she might just not be knowledgable of the subject

I'm very knowledgeable of the subject.

You're right though. I don't like it because she looks like a transvestite because Lara isnt a transvestite. So in that context, yes it's a negative. It would be the same as me not liking the fact that 2013 Lara looks Asian. She shouldn't look Asian because she isn't Asian.

Just like I don't think she should look like a man cross dressing because she isn't a transvestite.

All that's happened here is some people stupidly confused the difference between "transgender" and "transvestite".

It's only an insult in the context of calling a transgender person a "transvestite" which isn't what I did at all.

Cross dressing is a form of transvestism, you're absolutely right. The word "transvestite", by itself is not an offensive term. The way I used it also wasn't offensive or derogatory of anyone.

No honey, I did not confuse both of them. I said there were people who cross dress that didn't realize they were transgenders. Not every transgender knows what they are since child age. Because hey, I actually met some of them!

But nooooo, you're the one who is right. The last few pages have very clearly shown how knowledgeable of the subject you are.

That's right.

I am correct.

I didn't call any transgender person a transvestite.

So your statement is irrelevant.

Stop looking for something to be offended over. It looks exhausting.

I prefer the normal model, this mod looks like a bad contouring job, which I suppose, it is.

I am so confused here....
So from what I personally understand..

Transvestite = someone who dresses us as the other sex

Transgender = someone who wants to BE the opposite sex.

From what I can see.. they are two different things. Much like guys who drag act. They aren't always transgender and are simply dressing up to entertain.. right?

I'll admit that I also thought what SoraSakai said.. but I perhaps would have worded it differently.
Maybe she looks like a clown etc
(Not that I am insinuating transvestites look like clowns)
