Quote from: How the Grinch stole ChristmasAnd the Grinch, with his grinch feet ice-cold in the snow,
Stood puzzling and puzzling. "How could it be so?

It came without ribbons! It came without tags!
It came without packages, boxes, or bags!"

He puzzled and puzzed till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.

Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store.
Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more!
Maybe being a woman doesn't have anything to do with breasts or uteruses or vaginas or fingernails or hair or walk or voice.

Maybe being a woman means simply saying "I am a woman".

Coming from one MTF's perspective.

Other's of us don't agree with that.

Perhaps apologies should be spread a bit wider?

Hey, one person's outlook is just that, one person's outlook.  If it works for them good, just don't force it on others.  Myself, as much as Dr. Seuss would seem to make sense, I still look elsewhere for meaning, but if its working for you....
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...
