That was my initial thought but didn't want to post the video in case it bothered people.

Are people really giving the employee shit because he called "her" sir? Jfc.


One time, it would be whatever

5 times? He was obviously being an asshole


He didn't say it 5 times, and even if he did, its easy to call someone who looks like a man, sir, when they are threatening you with violence and destroying your store, because your brain isn't focusing on political correct bs, its focusing on the threat in front of you and survival.

No. You see, us cis people are supposed to forget years of indoctrination of what gender is and simply flip a switch in our brains and be perfect.

IMO:

The way the worker's body language comes off is he is trying to avoid a further meltdown from this customer. Why would he want this to escalate? So he can lose his job? It doesn't make sense. For that reason, it's hard for me to believe he would do this deliberately.

Most people on this earth don't care what you do with your life. We just want to pay our bills and work our jobs.

How about making it clear that you're supposed to be a woman before getting pissed at people who maybe just honestly can't tell? There are a lot of grey areas here, and just because you wear makeup doesn't mean you identify as a woman.

Yeah he did. He just didn't say it on camera

And no, it's not easy to "make that mistake" 5 times in a row. One or two? Maybe. But if the guy actually had basic human decency it actually would've prevented that mess

Again, stop bending over backwards to defend an idiot being an idiot. Both people in that video looked awful. One obviously moreso than the other, but still.


Only 1 person looks violent and a danger to society in that video and it was not the GameStop employee.

Why youre commenting on things that arent even in the video as some sort of fact is beyond me.

I in no way am judging this person for being a transgender, nor do I believe she should be discriminated against based on that fact. She should, however, be discriminated against for the absurd conduct shown in the video.

You're not fooling anybody, man. We can all see what you wrote, you were being a horrible person throughout this and other topics. You attacked her appearance in a blatantly transphobic way, anyone with eyes can see that. You can deflect to her behavior when called out all you want, but that doesn't erase your actions.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was mostly unconcerned with being polite.

However, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt since he apologized after the woman kicked over merchandise and threatened him with violence. I believe deescalation is an important part of customer service, and in that regard if the employee was fired, w/e, learn from your mistakes. On the other hand, as an individual who has worked in customer service/retail, people think they can talk to you however they want, and I don't make the habit of trying to be polite to people who are pissing me off.

So if someone who is considerably larger than you started screaming at you and pointing at you, throwing shit around, you would be half as collected as the GameStop employee in the video? Just wondering.

Taking gender completely out of the equation, you would be able to perfectly phrase everything you wanted to say in that situation?

Actions? I think I've found your fatal flaw. You don't know the difference between words and actions.

I "attacked" her appearance because her behavior justifies it. The left does this with Trump literally every day. If they call Trump a fat piece of shit they aren't fat shaming. If I saw a guy who didn't identify as a chick dressed the same way and said the same thing after seeing them act like an ass hole, would that also be transphobic? The answer is no.

You are just on the losing side of this issue so have to fall back on "waaaahhh bigotry". Here is a key bit of advice you should take with you moving forward to prevent yourself from looking like a fool. Saying something negative about an individual trans person (or black person or Mexican or whatever) is not transphobic/racist/whatever ism. It is commenting on an individual based on the specific context of the situation.

Most millennials are good people with great hearts. They're just short-sighted and think the world revolves around themselves.

At the end of the day, hardly anyone cares what you do with your body. Every human being deserves to be treated with respect, and the worker should be told to observe clothing or use gender neutral verbiage - I guess.

Not everyone is out to get you. Some of us are just trying to survive on this earth and scrape by with our paychecks and pay our rent or mortgage and provide for our families.

And I'm sorry, but a lot of people of this generation, have this chip on their shoulder and it's tiring. You can't expect everyone to flip a switch in their brains after being taught and having gender roles enforced their entire lives. Especially, in a high pressure situation where the customer is getting violent.

It's going to take time to get transpeople respect. That's how every movement goes. Things don't just happen over-night. It's going to take a generation of fixing the indoctrination. You have to understand that.

Based off what was said the woman lost her shit after it happened like 5 times. It doesn't make sense that the guy didn't just adapt to what she wanted after the 2nd or hell, 3rd time. If she was a just a frequent customer then it'd be one thing, but come on. If someone asks you to call them Y... after a couple of times, that should register

Yeah, I give him props for being able to deescalate, but it's still weird

They could also adapt and not throw a tantrum. Rather than having a fit, perhaps they should've just decided the other person is a prick and left it at that. Sticks and stones, seriously pre school shit

That employee was just begging to get punched. Good on her for holding herself back in the face of that dude continuously being antagonistic and misgendering her.

Poe's law

Wouldn't be the first coy internet kiddy that can't connect their conduct with why they're picking themselves up from the ground, and wouldn't be the last.


Misgendering someone, if you consider it to be purposeful, justifies violence. I agree


Please be trolling.


:eyeroll:


There are numerous people on this very board who thinks it's OK to assault people for saying words they don't like.


Rightfully so. Back in my day when kids respected their parents and none of this shit was going on and we werent killing each other at an alarming rate, you settled things on your own from time to time.

You call someone the n word today, you deserve 100% to get your face smashed in right there at that moment by the said person, and when you do a majority of America, and not some god damn dweebs on a gaming forum, will agree with the racist getting his shit pushed in. Countless times there has been viral incidents of people being racist and stupid and getting a dose of street justice, and typically a majority of people In other publications agree with the outcome.

Too many people sit in their parents house or locked away in a one bedroom apartment talking to people online all day. And some of them get to say whatever they want behind a keyboard and never get out in the real world to run their fat little mouths, or they to would be on the receiving end of a reality based beatdown.

Hopefully one day one of these viral videos is a gamefaqs poster and the world can see how weird, asinine, crazy and racist some of the people on this site are.

One day.. one glorious day.

But, do we have any comments to her behavior beforehand? Most people not getting the refund they want tend to escalate fairly quickly. We can all assume truth from statements but the simple fact is that are assumptions, and we can only go off what we see. To take truth from word of mouth and not question the entire scenario is the very definition of biased thought. Just saying.

If it comes to light that it is true, we then have to ask, is her reaction to this still acceptable? The employee didn't appear to be discriminatory. Foolish possibly, but not hateful or spiteful. At this point we then have to ask ourselves is it acceptable to damage other people's property over words? What is the threshold where this is acceptable, if ever?

Personally, I find her behavior to be asinine and petty, regardless of the situation.

Nevermind the fact that no one at all has said what the second half of his post suggests. What dishonest horse shit.


Do you know what an "implication" is? Are you really not capable of figuring out how suggesting transgender people are prone to doing this implies cisgender people aren't quite as prone? Or are you just not able to figure out what they were very obviously referring to when they said "mental illness"


Nearly half of transgenders suffer from mental illness even if you don't consider transgenderism itself a mental illness (which, btw, even if it is doesn't deserve stigmatization just like any other mental illness), so the "implication", Dennis, is based on wildly disproportionate stats. So I'm not entirely sure wtf you're whining about. It's Friday, stop crying.

He didn't suggest transgendered people are prone to doing this, just the subset of them that are mentally ill. Just like mentally ill cis people are more prone to doing it. But alas, it isn't a cis person in the video threatening violence, vandalizing, and generally making a huge dip shit of herself.
