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

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.

Are they going to redefine the DNA classifications for male and female?

As soon as we all agree to call schizophrenics that think they are Napolean “Your Highness Emperor”.

It’s becoming a commonplace these days for the insane/deluded to insist that others buy into their self-deceptions.

When Persian or Chinese archaeologists dig up Bruce Jenner in a couple of hundred years, they will find the bones of a man and a couple of water balloons.

If Bruce Jenner gets a reproductive system adenocarcinoma, it will be prostate cancer, not uterine cancer.

I sent it to a niece who is a militant lesbian. She wrote back and told me it’s not the same thing because humans are intelligent, thinking beings, cats aren’t. I told her all the more reason why humans should accept that if they were born with a penis they are a man and if they were born without one they are a woman. She didn’t respond.

I identify myself as a black inner city single mother and tried to apply for the membership benefits entitled to black inner city mothers. I want my obamaphone, obamacare, obamafood, obamahouse, obama pigford payout, SBA grants, and everything else I’ve got coming to me. Just because I’m a white male doesn’t mean you can define what I am. I knew I was a black inner city single mother when I was very young. GIMMEDAT!!!

Something interesting on that note...

God said.... ‘as it was in the day of Noah’.....and people were pretty bad back then and why he brought the flood.....

Things are simply moving backward in that respect...to how people were morally and violently as it was then.

Calling socialism a healthy productive economy does not make it capitalism either..

It’s STILL a parasitic attempt at Mob Rule by mobsters..

It’s some Mafia (say Italian) gone central political givernment providing service to “save you” from the “crises” they themselves have committed ON YOU!..

As a political Kabuki, WHICH..... is an ACT... i.e. costumes, wierd noises, makeup, posturing, a dis-jointed plot..
much like TRANS WOMEN..

See the last sub-title of the article: Trans women are female

Well, what if some of these "trans" don't want to be labeled as "female"?

What if some want to remain "male?"

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

What if some want to be a new third category simply called "trans?"

Of course, this blogger philosophically refutes herself: She labels others as "trans phobes" and "armchair biology fans" and "outdated model makers."

Yet by trying to reach inside the mind of every "trans" person, by her own line of reasoning, she becomes each of these accusations herself!

Besides our "headline" to aim right back at 'er is:

Stop calling us "trans phobes," "armchair biology fans," and "outdated model makers." (We don't want to be defined by your new constructs)
