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.

Huge, hairy legged man with beard starts walking into women's locker room. He is approached by a guard.

Guard: "where do think you're going pal?"
huge male:"I'm going into the women's locker room."
Guard:"Oh no, you're not...the Swedish Women's National Bikini Team is in there showering. No men allowed.
Male:"But I'm a woman too. I have to use the woman's locker room.
Guard:"What????....you say you're a woman?...but you look like a huge man."
male:"Yes, but deep down inside, I'm a woman.",
Guard:"Oh well, that's different....in that case, go on inside. Say hello to those Swedish babes for me will you?"

If, by chance, one of them happens to end up as an unrecognizable pile of comingled remains, what does everyone suspect the DNA will say about the victim’s sexuality? Thought so.

I actually have limited contact with this particular family member. But that is a good point.

“IT”is the proper pronoun to use when referring to the poor wretches.

I once saw an R-rated porno blooper cast just like you described, but the dwarf was a black guy and there was no Crisco. It was still funnier than hell, though!

Obama was quick to take sides with “Caitlyn”. I hope the Republicans or some conservative groups have the guts to include a clip of him in some of their political advertising. They should also include every Democrat who has who has spoken in favor of trangenderism.

I hope finally many Democrat voters as well as independents and Republicans who do not always vote or those who have been wishy-washy on so called “social issues” finally hear the bugle call. This is an assault on our sanity as a nation and we have stop it right now. Remember it IS THE DEMOCRATS who have been pushing this for forty years even though some “me too” Republicans have followed along in recent years.

The Democrats are in the White House, the whole party is for all of the glbt crap, they have been selling us a bill of goods for a long time. The Democrat party has fomented this insane glbt movement. They have funded it (with our money) and they have defended them without compromise. It is their doing. It comes from the top of the politics of the Democrat party. The fish rots from the head down.

Let me know when they have when even one of these men pretending to be women has managed to changed their chromosomes from XY to XX.

Then i’ll admit they are now women. Otherwise they are just men dressed up as women.

There are reasons why your doctor needs to know your sex. (Not what you say it is. ) There are differences between men and women in diagnosis and treatment. Telling your doctor the wrong sex can lead to problems and the doctor is not the one responsible for them.

I want to see how they try to get out of this one, or will they just sacrifice more victims on the altar of political correctness rather than deny a dogma of their faith?

Here's hoping they stick to their dogma..."

I remember reading that in ancient Greece there was a cult, I think it was the worship of Cybele, in which the participant males would sometimes cut off their genitals. Mental illness has been around for a long, long time.

It was the cult of Dionysus/Bacchus.
There was a yearly “festival”/drunken orgy, where men who wanted to be “priests” ( they didn’t believe that they were women” ), drunk on doped wine castrated themselves and yes, did wear women’s clothing afterwards...if they survived the self castration.
