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.

I don’t care what they look like. What does their DNA say they are.

I think you’re right...if someone on our side will make use of all this lunatic garbage, it might hit home with a lot of people.

And that’s if we can make it to the elections before God zots us like He did Sodom and Gomorrah. It would be deserved, for sure.

I would have to ask the dude (it)?
If this is so normal, why have I never read any historical accounts of any man whipping out his hatchet or pocket knife and chopping off his pecker?
Nothing from 200 years ago, nothing from 100 years ago, nothing from even 50 years ago?
Did this identity/gender changing thing just become normal when medical science was finally able to develop anesthetics and surgical procedures good enough to whack off your pee pee without you bleeding to death?
Obviously if this has been normal and a physical imperative, there should be some record of it in the medical literature of the past, right?

The old Soviets tried it with their male and female athletes.
They were just pikers, only willing to go the testosterone or estrogen route.
None of them were willing to go under the knife.
They were a lot smarter than today’s Prog/Lib/Dem freaks.

Surgery, make up, wigs, testosterone or estrogen, none of that matters. Do a DNA test, the results will tell you what gender a human is.

“She wrote back and told me it’s not the same thing because humans are intelligent, thinking beings, cats aren’t.”

I’m beginning to think she may have that backwards.

I heard this same person tell another family member that they shouldn’t jump to the conclusion that Hillary should be the first female POTUS. When they asked her who it should be she said Michelle Obama. Yes, she is that stupid.

See what happens when you get caught doping and they take away your medals? IT has to get back into the spotlight some how.

Oh; I understand that completely, you are what your DNA says you are, period. That’s one of the reasons they really can’t remake a dinosaur.

Your labels are appropriate. I have been using that designator for many years. I will always use “it” when appropriate.

Unfortunately she is not alone, I remember something in the news about some clowns who were saying that the ticket should be Hillary and Michelle but the hard part was deciding which one should be at the top of the ticket. Now that is stupid to the one hundredth power. I don’t know how you can get any more stupid.

True...it was an ancient Phrygian and Turkish cult, which was much later brought into Greece, but which never really caught on there, nor did, when brought to Rome, later on.

Heeshee would be perfect. It sounds like something stuck to the bottom of my shoe that needs to be scraped off.

I can hardly wait until Zer0 gets scraped off the bottom of history’s shoe and this nation digs out of the manure his regime has spewed out like the flood waters in Texas.

OK, show me one that makes a mayo dispenser
out of the thing that used to be her own penis
and I will call her Ms. But don’t ask me to
eat a sandwich prepared by her.

Some would take the position that calling them women, using female pronouns etc, is just a matter of courtesy not biology.

But it's clear there is a larger program than just establishing new rules of politeness for dealing with outliers.

There is the whole elementary school indoctrination thing, etc.
