Homosexuality and Hip-Hop : The Gay Rapper Thread

I think the point you are missing is that sexuality can be fluid and isn't necessarily something that's set in granite?

xpost I think he's arguing people who use the "fluidity" defense only when they're caught getting head from a MOTSS in a men's bathroom.

Western society hasn't fully accepted this mindset. If we did, then Mister Cee having sex with a transsexual wouldn't be seen as a big deal.

Eric otm - it's really about privilege.

now its a tranny?

i thought it was just a guy?

it was always a tranny

which is why i asked if it was possible that mr cee didn't know it was a dude (highly unlikely i know)

The person Mister Cee was with is a male who dresses like/and maybe identifies with women. Hence he's transsexual.

Taken from Oxford Dictionary:

transsexual |tran(s)ˈsek sh oōəl|
noun
a person born with the physical characteristics of one sex who emotionally and psychologically feels that they belong to the opposite sex.

transvestite not transexual surely

probably not tho

So Wendy Williams is back at it again airing out the wrong folks. First, Method Man and his wifey. Now--DJ Mister Cee from Hot 97. The other day, Wendy talked about a certain DJ, who she tried to keep nameless but made hella obvious, who participates in some "tranny activities". No, Wendy wasn't talking about activities with herself, but with some actual trannies

did ethan write that headline?

transvestite not transexual surely

I always thought transsexual was the umbrella term for all the sexual orientation trans- terms.

whoa 2007

transvestite not transexual surely

why surely

because one means that you dress as the other sex while the other means you have your bits chopped off.

oh is that what those mean?

lol, i can't even get mad i know what to expect on here when these kinds of issues are broached at this point.

Alicia Leafy Green Dragon Indigo Girl,

Nope

+ your bits get inverted, really

there was some discussion on the kids in the hall thread about the distinction in the way KITH wore women's clothes and the way Monty Python did, but I don't know if that neatly divides along the transvestite/transgender axis

Aw man ilx ate my explanatory post.

i've seen the term "non-op transsexual"

anyway quite obviously you can identify as a transsexual before you actually go through the operation -- in fact my reading of the situation is that it's a completely MANDATORY part of the deal, seeing as no surgeon will do the operation without the person having lived as a transsexual for years prior

yeah transvestites are typically straight men who either get off or just think it's fun to dress up as ladies. Literally just wearing the vestments of the other.

Drag queens are a diff thing entirely, as are transgendered ppl

As far as I know: yup.

ok sorry for not being a dictionary.

you're a pre-op dictionary

true dat.

whats this abt meth?

i think it's referring to this, from a few years ago:

In 2006 Method Man had a highly personal and highly publicized conflict with TV talk show host Wendy Williams on The Breakdown, an internet show on ONLOQ.com. Williams talked on air about Method Man's wife having cancer, which was something he had wanted to keep private and even her own family members had not yet known about. He said that people who lived next door to him didn't even know, but Williams had dug it up and made it public over the radio.[13]

Williams also reported rumors that Method Man had even been having an affair with his wife's doctor. Method Man first heard of this while in recording sessions in Los Angeles.
“ She said me and [the doctor] was fucking. What kind of shit is that, man? You don't do that to nobody. I was ready. I was so mad, I was crying right there and I'm like, "I'm gonna kill some fucking body" but my [Wu-Tang] friends kept me in L.A.[14]

woah method is ice cold in this....

Yo Majesty are both lesbians. I guess they don't have to deal with issues of masculinity but instead a host of other issues of sexism instead. They seem to have handled it pretty well, but have gone off the radar (hopefully working on more stuff).

transvestite not transexual surely

I always thought transsexual was the umbrella term for all the sexual orientation trans- terms.

The word you are looking for is "transgender", which includes all sorts of people who identify themselves across gender/sex lines. "Transsexual" usually implies a person who feels s/he's living in a body of the "wrong" gender, and therefore needs to go through some kind of physiological change (hormone treatment and/or corrective surgery), even if s/he hasn't done so yet. So being transsexual is strongly connected to both the biological body and the psyche, whereas some other forms of transgenderism may not involve wanting to change your biological body. For example, you may be totally content to just adopt the clothes, styles and physical mannerisms of another gender without feeling the need to correct your physiology.

Just discovered these local girls who are a couple and have weirdly a lot of live footage on youtube but seemingly no recorded songs on youtube

not surprising, they were pretty regular in the pitchfork-y indie dance music circles

i was pretty partial to scattermish's timid fuckup edit in 2007

xpost, they're on sub pop now iirc

Doesn't really surprise me. I know they've done shows with Shabazz Palaces, who are also on Sub Pop.

Timm'm had some interesting stuff in this book:

One of the biggest stories since you have been out is the whole Mister Cee situation. How do you feel about that?
I mean, I really don’t know exactly what happened. I ain’t look into it, or try to investigate all the facts. I’m just hearing what people saying, and radio, so I really don’t have that much of an opinion about it. But to each his own man, if it’s really like that.

It sounds crazy to me, like Cee is my nigga. We fuck with Mister Cee. That nigga loves Mobb Deep and always shows us love, and plays our music all the time on the radio. He’s one of the only ones that does that. It’s few of them, and he’s one of the main ones. So regardless of what, that nigga shows us love, and we’re going to show him love back.

He’s always going to get new music from us. That nigga call, we always going to pick up like “What’s up? You good?” If he wants to do a party, whatever. Whatever Mister Cee wants to do, we fuck with Mister Cee. That’s what it is.

lmao.

lol but also fucking good for him
