After years of teeth-grindingly ignorant and insulting questions, Calpernia Addams finally snaps and shares her list of Bad Questions which you should never ask a transsexual. These are all real questions from real life!

Director's Cut: I edited this so that it gets to the point more quickly, cuts out some extraneous chatter and repeated information, and illustrates the "Do you date gay or straight guys?" question more simply with graphics. =)

And finally, since i know you care so much, I do not think asking "did your surgery hurt?" bearing in mind the person asking is probably meaning "did the recovery from your surgery hurt?" which is how I interpret the question when asked of me. Possibly you're so defensive about people asking that question as you had such a hard life (or whatever) and have been treated like shit most of your life? However, yes, even with an-es-thetic recovery from genital surgery hurts! Take my word for it! :)

@XXYSexChromosomes I suppose people have the right to ask whatever dumbass, invasive, personal questions they like, irregardless of whether they even care enough to say what they mean. By the same token, I also have a right to release a shitstorm of scorn on them for being morons. I'm not being defensive, I'm being offensive.

Calpernia, you are amazing!

Don't be offended but...

lol.

Nah good video! I like to show it to the idiots around my house. They just don't get it. ;)

This is a riot!! "Spot On" with your cheeky rendition on the same bullshit questions we(transsexuals) get asked over and over...and over....Thanks for the 14 minutes of pure laughter =D Well with intro and outro it was more like 13 minutes but who's counting, right? >'.'<

@outlawracer2229 Umm...because the questions are considered rude? If I went to one of your videos and asked questions about your lifestyle (such as, "Aren't biker types secretly into leather bondage and homo sex?", wouldn't you be a bit pissed off? After several years of putting up with people who still keep asking you the same questions, would it be possible that you would make a video, "Bad questions to ask an outlaw biker"?

[outlawracer2229]

@hazeleyes1911a1 So I'm supposed to give a rat's ass what sexual being this person is or wants to be? And what the hell does sexually violating someone have to do with this person whinning because not everyone loves this person's life choice? If your going to blab about it on the internet why piss and moan about people asking questions?

[hazeleyes1911a1]

@outlawracer2229 Now this is a very rude and STUPID thing to say...if someone hurts another person (whether by offending, or by beating), are you really saying they should just "shut up" and not bitch about it? That's like telling a rape victim to just "lie back and enjoy it", and after the deed is done, just get up and do the dishes or something; anything but complain about it. But why am I explaining this to you? You're one of the f**king morons Calpernia was talking about...

[xxXWickEdThaTwayXxx]

@XXYSexChromosomes Why ask someone about surgery "did it hurt?" Of course it hurt!!!! What surgery doesn't have pain involved??? ANY surgery hurts! The point is... Don't ask questions that you already know the answer to!

[Stephanie4fun]

OMG that is funny hon. I am a transsexual too and have been asked all those same questions. Your way of answering is a lot funnier than mine....gonna have to incorporate some of you answers. Hope you dont mind me doing that. Go Girl!!1

[kujientourage]

brilliant!

[outlawracer2229]

If your so offended by people asking questions why do you run around bitching about it? Keep your mouth shut and live your life. Your running your mouth is just to bring attention to yourself to begin with.
