Discovery Channel's new Transphobic show "Who The Bleep Did I Marry?"

LOL NO. They aren't compared. They are specific examples of episodes that are going to be shown. I found it rather funny.

 

Naaaw it's comparing them. It's just it's as shocking as finding out something like that unexpectedly.

 

I agree, I dont think it's offensive at all. All those things are things that your would be EXTREMELY surprised to find out. I don't think it's saying that they are all alike.

And to a spouse, that is almost as bad to find out as them being a robber, so if they were comparing anything, it was that.

 

I agree, I can understand the surprise but the reality is that a FtM transexual is not female but male. It's offensive to suggest otherwise, IMHO.

 

I really don't see how that is transphobic.

 

equating trans people to criminals?

really?

Question: was this show created by the same guy who gave sarah palin a reality show about alaska, and who talks of her as being the smartest, greatest woman in american politics?

 

The part that's offensive in my mind is how the bride says "He's a... she." No, he isn't a she, he's a he.

Having said that, the reality is that if a person marries someone without revealing something from their past as major as gender reassignment surgery, they can't really expect it to go over too well once their partner finds out. Concealing something like that is a form of lying.

 

It may not be transphobic as in "TRANSVESTITES ARE SICK THEY'LL GO TO HELL" but it seems to be yet another example of the constant treatment of every non-heteronormative identity as something that can only serve as comic relief.

 

It's NOT equating them.

 

i dont think they meant it in an offencive way.. they were just giving diff scenarios of who people married lol theres really no need to get bent out of shape
