Exclusives : Guess Who's Coming To Lunch? I meet and interview a transgendered Anglican lady

Dear VOL readers,

LITTLE DID I KNOW what was in store for me when I accepted a lunch invitation from a VOL reader whom I had never met. Soon, I found myself seated at a nearby Chinese restaurant, opposite a lady who proceeded to tell me that she is a transgendered person.

Specifically, she believes she was born with a condition called gender dysphoria, commonly known as transsexualism. I have never had an in-depth, face-to-face conversation with a person who had had a sex change operation, a person who was once a man and is now very much a woman. This may well be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me.

Sadly, amongst the commenters there are the usual tropes - cutting-healthy-flesh, addressing the transsexual "M" as he-him-his, referring to M as mentally ill and/or sinning...

Really, they're just trying to define and defend their self-view of their own wonderfulness as compared to the 'depravity' or M.

<sigh> ::)
