Stop Calling Trans Women "Male"
Freethought Blogs ^ | June 1, 2015 | "Zinnia Jones" (Zachary Antolak)

Posted on 06/06/2015 11:11:45 AM PDT by Salman

Calling trans women “male” is like the background noise of transphobia. It comes from many directions, and it’s pretty much constant. On one level, it’s a lazy invalidation of who and what we are, offered up by armchair biology fans who insist that trans women are always and forever “male”. On another, it’s unwittingly perpetuated rhetoric by people trying to provide 101-level explanations of what it means to be transgender while unaware that they may be causing even more confusion. And, of course, it’s overtly weaponized as a rallying cry of those looking to keep our genders from being recognized and protected under the law.

But this concept of physical sex as permanent and inescapable is actually incomplete, inaccurate, and irrelevant. Are trans women really “male” in any way that matters? I don’t think so.

A blog called “Freethought” that tells others what to say and think??

I see...

They should have called it "Newspeak."

These people are nothing but a bunch of Nazi wannabe totalitarians @$$holes who hate the world because it doesn't indulge their fantasies.

You’ll always be genetically and chromosomally what your are regardless what you do to, or call yourself.

I knew one.

Bat S*** crazy and ugly to boot.

A matter of some thought to me is the motivation that would make a man want to give up looking like a man, so that he can appear like a horribly ugly woman.

The vast majority of these transgenders are HORRIBLY UGLY as women. And that is objectively. Their appearances are simply vomit inducing.

Use the proper terminology. HE/HIM for a pre-op male tranny; IT for post-op. SHE/HER for pre-op female; IT for post-op.

What if some want to be both "male" and "female"?

Omnisexuals, arise!

...grotesque pantomime

Well said. Just as Islam is a grotesque pantomime of a religion.

The cult of Cybele (Kybele) goes back to ancient Asia Minor, well-attested in the classical period but apparently already present in the Hittite period or earlier. In 204 B.C. the Romans brought the cult stone from Pessinus to Rome (told to do so by the Sibylline books). Kybele is also called the Magna Mater or the Mother of the gods...originally a mountain goddess (i.e., mountain momma).

How about “heeshee”?

As in, Caitlyn Brucie-Woosie Heeshee should be a pathetic national laughingstock by now.

But we live in Obamaland.

Sorry but I created you either male or female (and in My image so if you had a clue about what was good for you, you wouldn't mess with it)...... God.

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Genesis 1:27

Stop telling me what to say and what to think

Thank you. That was also my first thought. Just because this guy has decided that "feelings" outweigh science (DNA), doesn't mean that I should be forced to get on that crazy train with him.

Male turning into female: “IT”
Female turning into male: “IT”

Male saying he is a female; but, still has a penis between his legs: Very screwed-up male.

That’s pretty disgusting. Real brave. He takes a bunch of hormones, presumably still has his equipment, but he’s brave for trying to grab his share of the Kardashian/Jenner freak show spotlight.
