I don’t usually make Reddit posts, but this is actually insane. Even if you didn’t know who she was, google is free…you can easily find out that she was a cisgender woman. “We can always tell ☝️🤓” my ass

  • A lot of that is just racism, because they think white women should be the beauty standard for all women.

    Celia Cruz is beautiful.

    Probably ageism too. Women are expected to look more youthful than men.

    Tbh I see most people as easily switchable to the other gender, regardless of race. I think this is racism because thats just historically true. But I also think we should be encouraging this with all races. ALL RACES HAVE DUDES THAT LOOK LIKE WOMEN AND WOMEN THAT LOOK LIKE MEN. NORMALIZE SEEING MEN AS WOMEN AND VICE VERSA.

    As someone who always looks like a woman but is occasionally a man (but usually neither), thank you 🫶

  • They didn't know who she was...and didn't bother to look it up?! We all have devices in our pockets that give us unfettered access to the internet, and he couldn't just type her name into DuckDuckGo? Pathetic.

    There’s a general lack of curiosity that comes with being constantly bombarded with information

    But if they’re that disinterested, why even bother engaging? I personally dislike giving any opinion on something I don’t feel that I know enough about.

    In my decades in IT, one thing I've discovered is there is a sore lack of ability to utilise search engines. Even the most basic of queries, and it's really telling. So I'm not surprised they wouldn't think to use a search engine to look up information

    Why would they bother doing any research when they can just act like a dick?

    The stupidity, like the cruelty, is the point

    Unfettered access on the very same device they used to make these vile comments, no less!

  • arguably the first (recorded) trans women were priestesses of inanna. as it the mesopotamian goddess. as in sumeria. as in the oldest civilization on earth

    That's honestly my favorite historical fact! I wish more people knew about Inanna.

    I love that! Got a source I cna use?

    I'd love to learn more. Do you recommend a specific source?

    There’s a YouTube channel called Transgender History - We Have Always Existed which has videos about them

  • Classic right wing attitude. If its not a playboy busty blonde white woman, shes not valid in their eyes.

    Not even that as they also transvestigated the blue eyed, blonde haired nordic Miss Universe winner. The paranoia is intense in them.

  • Ooh we got a side of racism in this one. For extra spice ✨️

  • Yeah this one's not your average transphobia, it's extra flavored in general misogyny and racism too 🥰 how lovely

    Yep. I felt myself get angry because of this triple combo. Extra disgusting.

  • They really see a post remembering the death of a person they don't know and are like "yeah let's be disrespectful to her for no reason".

  • Transphobes are sure proud of their ignorance. This lady was a musical legend.

  • Famous for makeup or some shit?! This is the Queen of Salsa you ignoramus! Put some respect on her name!! AZÚCAR!

  • Under a memorial post of all places. There is no low that they will not stoop to.

  • Not just transphobic, racist too

  • Don't mess with us transphobes, we can't even use google

  • What does "jw" mean in this context?

    "just wondering" I think, not sure though

    That's the only meaning I personally am aware of so I think you are right.

  • Racism and uncultured idiots

  • They're genuinely so dumb it makes me sad for the future and for whatever small humans they create.

  • Ah yes the first trans person. Even if she was trans, trans people have been known to exist since 1200 bc

  • How is it possible to not know about Celia Cruz???????

  • "I've never heard of them so they must be trans" is a wild thought process

  • “I’ve never heard of this person so I’d it a trans???

    that is such an insane sentence
