"The trans debate" is NOT relevant "to only a small number of people" but to everyone

[Initech]

40. I have to talk about my IRL encounter with a trans phobe.

So I was at a wedding last week. The bride was my brother's wife's sister. The two sisters have a mutual friend of theirs who recently came out as a trans woman who was at the wedding and the after party. Well during the after party, that's when things went completely fuck up. One of the people who was on the groom's side was obviously way over served. And after learning that the guest in question was a trans woman, he would not stop harassing her the entire night and eventually got into some really uncomfortable shit.

Eventually she (the trans woman) told the guy to fuck off, but he didn't stop there. That conversation went on even when they started kicking everybody out of the bar at like 2:00 AM. So during the conversation, my other brother's fiance is arguing with the guy about this and she texts him "help, I'm dealing with an idiot". So my brother, who is not afraid to call people out on their bullshit, basically let this guy have it. It was pretty awesome.

At one point the guy was like "We need to be more sensitive about these conversations!!!" and it devolved into a discussion about male privelege. That's when my brother was like "You do realize that we're having this discussion about male privilege while we're at *very exclusive member's only club*, right?".

Even better was the douchebag in question wound up getting locked out of his room at like 5:00 AM and wound up passing out in the hallway in his underwear, and almost got kicked out of the club. He probably should have been asked to leave sooner, and definitely would have been had it been my party.
