Especially important for you filthy NS users. If you do not agree, i will "transition-find" your account to the ban box ☺️

Edit: the mods and i have come together to offer a 10x time T-word pass for a low price of $50

Goddamn this thread is gonna be so toxic

This is one meme page on instagram with like 2400 followers that has an opinion. I don't necessarily agree with it because the words have different history and are used in totally different contexts but if I was around someone who was triggered by it then I just wouldn't say it around em after I knew. I try to align myself with the whole woke movement but there are some people who really try and center themselves and their sensitivities while forcing binary arguments that don't go anywhere. I think its understandable because discussions can feel like an attack on your identity and validity as a person but it sucks for everyone to have it devolve into name calling no matter whose fault it is.

That being said, if someone is offended by a word you're saying and you make it this huge argument over principle and continue saying it around them to make a point, then you're an asshole. There's no need to continue fucking with someone's identity and making them feel unwelcome in the outdoor community. Chances are they've experienced way more hate throughout their lives so there's no need to pile on.

Skiing is sick and every person should feel welcome in it besides Rob Katz.

tldr i don’t care
 
Use judgement and if you are skiing with somebody that says it makes them uncomfortable just use a different word around them. If saying one word differently is gonna allow somebody I'm skiing with to have a better time, then there really isn't a reason not to. I guess just read the room when your skiing with people.

that's not a very good argument, memes are loaded with political/ideological intent these days and you know it

saying something, then crying "i was just joking" the instant someone responds to it is cowardly. we've all had this play run on us in real life

i took the OP as a joke and responded in kind because i don't know or care what queercork is, but if you can post a meme or say something, someone can respond to its content and acting like they just brought it up out of the blue is silly

It wasn't even an argument. Dude just hopped right onto the high horse like he's somehow gonna save the day lmao
 
Isn't the shortened version pretty outdated as ski slang regardless? If I used that with the (mostly a couple years younger) crew instead of just saying 'transition' they would look at me like I pulled up to the club in flared jeans and told the first girl I saw that she looked 'groovy'.

Nah I feel like it's still pretty well used especially "tranny find" or "finding tranny". Also when jibbing the sides of things that aren't supposed to be hit as transition like the side of a box or a park bench (which is one of the like few things I can do, hence apprehension from letting this one get cancelled)

I dont think this thread was made to have an open discussion about using the word and the posts above mine evidence that.

All I really said was that I think you're an asshole if a trans person asks you to to not use the word and you refuse or turn it into a whole debate. I don't think its a huge issue or that bad of one but I'm not trans and am fine listening to the people if affects.

Huh, must be a regional difference then, we always just say "catch transition". could be carryover from mtb/bmx too as everyone I ski with also bikes.

the point is no one cares enough to read it if it’s about a topic like this even if he’s got a good point
 
Don't forget " pocket tranny"

the audacity to call park rats bigoted when we are the ones fantasizing about a hall's jawline and IK half of you have cranked one to him
 
Y’all sound like my grandparents. Tranny has been used as a slur for a long time and the idea that that slur means something else to you in no way changes what it means to people who are harassed and assaulted for being trans. If you want to be inclusive then it’s important to understand that if there are trans people around you that hear you saying tranny it’s probably associated with trauma. I get that a lot of y’all have never experienced the hate that is directed at trans people but if you are willing and knowingly going to transphobic around me I’m going to knock you the fuck out. That shit is wack.

where do you ski
 
I think a lot of people missed the "I'm open for discussion" part and jumped right into knee-jerk reactions.

Btw words that are homonyms with slurs or very similar to slurs aren't new and frankly are always kinda tricky. See also:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_about_the_word_niggardly

I think most people could agree that not intending something as a slur means its better than just blatantly calling people slurs, but still can be iffy especially with certain context. Personally, I'm totally willing to hear the trans community out on this and have a reasonable discussion on it. Just don't be a dick.

Also also waiting until I see this thread mentioned and/or screenshotted on IG, probably by queercork, wap the whites, or similar.
