What do you think of binary transsexuals?

'Binary' transsexuals should learn to accept the bodies they were born with.

I don't believe in the binary at all, there are no binary transsexuals.

I don't understand why they need resort to such extremes.

Hey, I'm at the point in my live where a good day skiing is better than any P***y.  I've had enough of the second, never enough of the first.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

Skiing = pain = traction.  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Personally, I don't think I've had enough of the second yet...  >:D

I like happy people.   :)       I like people being happy   :)

I am a goof.   ::)

All hail the goofs.

However I see where Tekla is coming from, which is old fashioned class irritation. I am taking an MA in creative writing, I am a writer waiting for my time to come, however I come from the working classes - I can't afford for daddy to pay for me to spend time in beautiful places where I wait for inspiration. I work at menial tasks like billy-o and I spend most of my free time writing and writing, inspiration and comfort be damned. It is not worthless people that are annoying, it's people who assume their wealth and importance are based on their parents wealth and importance. Everyone is worth something, but they have to prove that worth somehow,and not always paid employment.

What I am trying to say is that there are worthless people, they are the people who do not chip in the talents and even mere physical presence that they have, because they think they are worth much more than that. It's the people that don't muck in that make me sick.

Absolutely I would affirm anyone's right to construct hir gender identity in the most meaningful way to hir.  If that means ze identifies as wholly male or wholly female, then I would accept that and support it.  I think it's reasonable to argue that men have feminine traits and women masculine ones, but that doesn't mean they're not still definately men and definately women.

In fact I think it's part of my "job" as a 3rd-gendered person to offer such affirmation since the existance of androgynes is sometimes co-opted by transphobes who point to us and say "oh, look at this person over here--ze doesn't identify as hir assigned gender, but ze hasn't transitioned or had any medical gender confirmation, so binary transfolk must not need it either."
