    I'm not sure why she would but I don't really care either way, it wouldn't make me any less right. There are thousands of transgender people out there and the vast, vast majority don't get any brand deals but lots of cis people do have brand deals. So how could it be that simply being trans gets you a brand deal?

    Good luck with your transitioning, - or are you just tucking it for now? Tucking is probably easier with smaller guys.

    If no one was serious then there would be no trans around

    Ok......and.....?

    What would be the point of denying it?

    The same reason that specific characteristics get people jobs, rather than experience or expertise.

    It sure did show bigotry. And also that how a person with a low ratio would be accepted in an environment where it should not matter.

    Do you check clothing labels too?

    But your name is still on here as FatBack…but don’t worry, if the Democrats have their way you’ll be able to demand the moderators change your name or else be sued for not supporting a trans.

    Not on their own. Some irrelevant characteristics might increase your chance of getting a job but if it was the only factor, everyone with that characteristic could get a job. Also, the same characteristics can also contribute to someone not getting a job they're otherwise qualified for, and being transgender is certainly one of them too.

    Discrimination based on anything but qualifications, attitude/aptitude, knowledge and experience should be illegal, but it's not.

    When first round exclusions are announced to the public based on gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or skin color, it should be illegal. But it's not.

    I don't know about anyone else, but I've never disclosed my sexual preferences to an employer, much less to a perspective employer. I don't announce my medical conditions, allergies or political position. Why do people feel it's necessary to announce if they are Trans or Gay or anything else?

    Dude-ette! Why the hurry to axe your manhood?

    Just leave it alone. Now that you've made a solemn declaration of your gender of the moment, you now have access to the Women's/Girls shower rooms. May as well save your junk just in case you relapse in there.

    I think you're missing the point in relation to the thread topic. The OP clearly implied that someone could get a brand deal solely by identifying as transgender, which is obviously not the case. I wasn't challenging whether it should be allowed to happen or not, I was challenging the idea that it ever could or would.

    I think he is still tucking it, and probably wearing make-up, wig and fake boobs. Its his life choice, so its no ones business but his own.

    A great way to pick up chicks. Wonder why I didn't think of it when I was 16.

    To be fair, I think most folks would be skeptical of any person with a verifiable history of being on the other side of the aisle when it comes to trans-issues suddenly deciding they are trans.

    If you had just made an account here and had no posting history, there'd be no reason not to take you at your word.

    But also, like most things trans related, what you were born as and what you are now don't actually matter for much beyond superficial social nonsense. So even if I took your post at face value and truly believed you were transitioning, it really doesn't change anything at all for me. Being that you're biologically male, I would really only care if you were trying to play on female sports teams.

    How is it 'obviously not the case'? How was that particular person selected?

    Considering the current marketing environment, people with select characteristics are more likely to be chosen to appeal to particular demographics. The older generations are slowly fading out of the beer market, so the appeal would be for a younger demographic. The younger demographic is more likely to encourage inclusivity and diversity, and the best way for a company to show that they are part of that culture, is to have someone who represents part of that culture. It isn't a secret, it's called marketing.

    And since I'm in my early 40s I'm the perfect age to bridge the gap between the millennials and the older generation.

    You see I'm already enjoying my newfound advantages in life.

    I had to get an ankle reduction because those large ankles just look too masculine to me. Don't worry though because I'm sure you'll be happy to hear I'm doing much better.

    How about holding off on the ankle bit until after you cut off your dick?
