Thread Name: BS: About This Whole Transgender Thing....
Subject: RE: BS: About This Whole Transgender Thing....
the subject of gender and sex is a real can of worms... biology and sociology come into play.

speaking as a heterosexual female, I have always resented being told how I should feel or act because of my sex. I did not want to play with dolls or tea sets... and having to sit demurely because I was forced to wear a stupid dress was a crock. I no longer even own a dress, but I still have to deal with jerks who regard a woman as less able than a guy.

Because I am a civil servant and have a strong union, so I am one of the lucky gals who gets equal pay for equal work, though it's the guys who may still get promoted over us.

I will admit that I get annoyed by transgender men who act like adolescent girls... jeez, it was bad enough waiting for girls to outgrow that assinine behavior... and they want to promote it??? WTF!?!

What we really need to do is to treat individuals as that... individuals... forget about assigning roles based on race, color or sex. Let the assholes prove themselves for what they are and the rest of us stand on our own merits.
