Discovering, and protecting, their true selves (‘Daddy had a girl’s brain in a boy’s body,’)
Boston Globe ^ | July 14, 2009 | Bella English

Posted on 07/14/2009 5:07:57 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

In high school, music was Bill Zircher’s thing, mostly drums. He studied electrical engineering in college. In 1994 he married a woman he met in a band. The couple had a daughter, and Zircher was thrilled to be a father.

Dana Zircher still plays the drums, is still a self-described high-tech nerd, and still a parent. She still works as a software design engineer for Microsoft in Beverly, though she now uses the ladies’ room instead of the men’s.

As part of an aggressive grass-roots campaign, Zircher will testify today at a State House hearing in favor of civil rights legislation to protect transgender people. The bill, which has languished in committee for two years, would add gender identity to the antidiscrimination law that protects people based on sexual orientation, gender, and race. It would also amend the state hate crimes law to cover transgender people.

Yeah, that worked out real well.

Benny Hill was more convincing...

Frankly, this is the crap about being transgender that ticks me off. I don't think there's any reason at all why a potential or current employer can't hold it it against me, and I don't understand anyone who expects different.

Forcing people to accept a mental illness, doesn't make them accept it, it just embitters them.

In every case of having "a woman's brain in a man's body" why don't they fix the mind?

You cannot make a woman out of a man (unless you are God)

Like the old Soviet Union, in which dissidents were considered to be mentally ill, NOT accepting transgenderism will be considered a mental illness in Obama’s America.

I’ll just be glad when science catches up.

It. I’m a woman in a man’s body.
Science. Fine, presto changeo, NOW YOU’RE PREGNANT.

It. I’m a man in a woman’s body.
Science. Fine,now you’re married, get back to work.

The main designer of the ARM processor that is found in many devices like cell phones is Sophie Wilson...formerly Roger Wilson.

It has an account on Facebook. It may have thought it was a decent-looking man, but dear God, that poor pathetic castrated thing is one ugly woman.

I missed it. I tuned out right around Miles’ phone call in the previous segment.

Too many thumps to the head, apparently. "Trans"gender means nothing more than a leap across to the dark side. The only gender there is a lie.

"Willful ignorance of reality is a vice."

Once upon a time, having “a girl’s brain in a boy’s body” was known as a DELUSION.

You named it. Poor pathetic castrated thing.

A mutilated man is not a woman.

"On the bookshelf are titles such as “Advanced Windows Debugging’’ and “Hunting Security Bugs.’’ There’s also: “She’s Not The Man I Married’’ and “My Husband Betty.’’"

The absolute worst that I've ever been treated...ever...on the internet was for a thread I started in the forum of the author of,"She's Not The Man I Married" and "My Husband Betty", the latter being a book I read.

My sin was an attempt to differentiate and classify various types of trans behaviors. I was slammed...without mercy...by the this very group of people who run around demanding that everyone accept them for who they are.

Ironic in that I was being very neutral, objective and non-judgmental. These people do not accept anyone who will not tow their line.

Benny Hill in drag is actually more attractive, too.
