he Transgender Borg and Transgender Inc put out a massive quantity of bull->-bleeped-<- about identity and identifying as a woman, about how that identity trumps both physical reality and the perceptions of others. Based on the claims of some to be considered a woman all one has to do is claim to identify as such.

Being considered a woman doesn't require being assigned female at birth.  Doesn't require surgical sex reassignment from an initial birth assignment of male.  Doesn't require the removal of testicles and definitely doesn't require the surrender of one's penis.  One isn't required to live 24/7/365 in a socially accepted female sex role.  One doesn't have to have electrolysis or even wear women's clothing, according to Transgender Borg ideology to be considered a woman based on "identifying as a woman."

Hey, the "big house" is full of people who are convinced they are Napoleon or other historical figure; no need to argue, it is all in their head. Well, the same for people who say: "I am a woman because my brain say so." To some degree that is true for all of us, it is all in our head.

Yet, if we want to be accepted as women, then we have to -according to the cultural norms we live in- behave and look (to the best of our abilities) like one. This is an indisputable fact.

I have to wonder....If she only identifies as a woman then why does she refer to herself as a post transsexual woman. Isn't that puting the adjective identity before the woman identity?


See what I did there?

I don't get it. I haven't seen this horde of 'penis people' as she puts it trying to ruin everything for everyone else.

I think it escapes her that this bitchfest that is raging on the internet is pretty much limited to a few voices on each side with people on the local level just living life and being men and women.

Self-identifying as a woman is obviously the starting point, but if you don't intend to move on from there what's the point?  It might be a case of having to wait due to finances, or personal circumstances, but you have to have some intention to act eventually.

It's a bit like saying you are a great golfer, but never bothering to ever pick up a club. Until you do you are just engaging in wishful thinking, rather than proving you could be the next Karri Webb.

How many people actually belong to the organisations in question anyway? Is it a case of empty jam tins making the most noise? And who appointed them to be the arbiter of all things Transsexual ? Sounds like another anti-feminist telling women what the must think, do and look like. I thought we had moved on from that sort of thinking.

About 5 years old

Mom: what are you doing?
Me: Putting my new dress on!
Mom: that is no your dress, it is you sister's!
Me: she gave it me to me
Sister; Yes, I did
Mom: well, boys do not wear dresses!
Me: I am not a boy!
Mom: Oh yes you are, you have a pipi
Me: do not worry, it will go away when I grew up

As you can see I was never a boy, even when I had to fight or f--- like one.
