Well, I do qualify today to take out the rubbish from my house up to the street. Normally the estate I live in does that part.
I also know I DO NOT qualify for Mother's Day, and sadly do not seem to qualify for Father's Day any more either.
And there not being a Parent's Day that seems to be it for us, eh.
Have to concentrate on Valentine's Day --- though I NEVER as yet got a Valentine either, poor baby!
Now I do feel full of self-pity... ->-bleeped-<-e!
Kiss, kiss, just saying,
Axelle

You should, or technically you will after your SRS.

Apart from the fact I'm not in SA, I'd have to wait 18 months or so to be post-op I guess.
There's always International Women's Day I guess.

SRS does not make you a woman.
Universally, unequivocally, loudly saying, "I am a woman" does.

Renate,
kiss, kiss,
Or as I once read: "You can graft a vagina onto a melon, but that will not make it woman" hehe
Thank you for reminding us :-)

See, you are some lucky babe :-)
No such luck today, though yesterday was a "good hair day"
Can't have it all, and also a late but good Women's day to you too.

Why hon?
No passport --- been a bad girl after all then? Or what?
They would not, even here, do verifications down your pants (skirt?).
Hey, we ARE *the* place for human rights after all.
Highest murder rate in the word not withstanding, um.
Welcome to my word...

PS: My place 'Gauteng Province' has car number plate code GP => 'Gangsters Paradise', doing things in style here, no.

Last passport expired a couple of years ago, and I haven't been in a position to travel OS for the last couple of years, so no point in renewing until lately.
GP - I like it. Does it mean you can ride or drive faster?

yes we would qualify,just because some of us do not have a vagina does not make us any less of a women.
Vagina does not equal women just as penis does not equal man. If you feel your a women and identify as a women then your a women,so you should qualify.

Righto honey,
now how will all those other know that?
I know, OK, but nobody said happy woman's day to me. Now I think that might be telling...
And if I had SRS as was planed in June, that score would have been just as dismal.
Maybe a chest sign "I AM A WOMAN" back and front would help? Just saying, and my family wouldn't even see that, ... they don't even see ME.

Such complications! This year the family (well, the son and 2 step-daughters, #3 dropped us after telling her last year) had a real debate on what to do when. All I can say is, I am my son's father. I am my step-daughters' step-father. I am not their mother, their mother is. Do I mind Father's Day cards? No, not really. Would I want to qualify for Mother's Day cards? So much so that only those of us here can understand. Am I qualified? No, I'm not a mother. Mostly I think Mother's Day has been for mothers, with other women getting in on the deal to avoid hurt feelings at being ignored - sort of "I might be a mother-in-waiting," you need to be nice to me on the off-chance. International Woman's Day? Those pushy broads want two days a year? Let 'um get pregnant!

Hey Honey,
you are so deliciously non-PC it makes me laugh :-)
Also, because there is no "man-day" either...
I think it came about to a Women's Day, because the PDP's (Previously Disadvantaged Persons) in the old right wing Apartheid regime. Caucasian females (cis...?) where also considered PDPs.
There won't be a "trans-day" ever the way I see it, and so we from all 3 days excluded.
If being younger, Valentines Day might have come up trumps - but then who knows.

I absolutely resemble that remark! Actually, I'm completely PC - I have never had a Mac!
I thought every day was a "man day." If you think not, just ask one of them!
You're never too old for Valentine's Day. Of course you may be too old for a man (see above) to make you his Valentine. That's something I've noticed since going full time - many men look right through me since I am not 22 - (I'm 65), not blonde, voluptuous, leggy, slim (well, lately I'm much more so) and generally don't really look to be in the target range. I don't know whether to be glad or sad.
