josepp wrote I read about some transgender people whining that the rest of us must accept them as their new gender. Sorry, but no. And I don't give a damn how they regarded themselves their whole life. That doesn't give them the right to demand that I regard them the same way.

So this tells me that you treat men and women differently. Why? Is one sex superior? You won't treat a transgender man like a man because he was a woman and women are inferior? I bet this means you think less of men who choose to be women because they want to be women, and you won't accept women who choose to be men because you know that in his heart of hearts he was once a physical woman?

Unless someone tells you that this is the case, and I don't know why they would, then all I can say is that you're a fool for treating the sexes with different levels of respect, and if you feel you've been fooled into treating a transgendered person different from their original sex, well, you are a fool and that's not their fault.

BTW: I notice that josepp hasn't been back. I suspect too much common sense and disdain have chased his sorry bigotted ass out of this thread.
