When did people start identifying themselves ideologically rather than metaphysically. I noticed this right after college when certain blacks weren't seen as "really black" because they weren't ghetto enough. i.e. Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, etc. Then we have people believing that their gender is not the one they were born as, but the idea of the gender that they "feel like".

I saw a transexual on one of the talk shows years ago that posed for playboy, "she" acted like a man impersonating a woman, not as a female. "Her" feminine attributes came off as cartoonish.

I never quite understood the mincing thing. When a drag queen acts "girly" it's not like any woman I know. It's almost like a "mocking" of what women look and sound like. Like when John Ritter dressed up like a woman on Three's Company.

I saw one in the second hand store run by a friend and believe me, it was the strangest sight I’ve seen in a Loooonnnnnggggg time. s/he was looking for a blouse. Another one was a nurse in the hospital in my hometown.s/he wore women’s uniforms and long earrings. Good nurse, but verryyy strange.
