    Transgender Rights

    I know what you mean. She was what she self described as a "big boned peasant woman." This was before the Trans Fad, though, although we knew several of them.

    Transgender Rights

    The problem is, that there is hystereis in the loop. Unlike compressing and releasing a spring, you can't return to the starting point. At this time, you can't replace testes or ovaries, and most of the surgery can be only imperfectly fixed. That would be poetic justice, wouldn't it.

    Transgender Rights

    This is one of the things that distresses me about the current Transgender Craze. It is a craze, an out of control social movement. In the "Old Days" (How I miss the Diptheria.) transition was very difficult, with lots of hoops to clear. Today, it seems adequate to declare yourself in...

    Transgender Rights

    Depends on who you talk to. My Thai f(r)iend, a retired major general, insists they are the best. They are also the best at Bobbit repairs. Apparently they get a lot of them. According to my TS f(r)iend, the best surgeons are in Californica, but you pay Californica prices. One thing that...

    Transgender Rights

    It has certainly given my f(r)iend peace. It is far from perfect, and stops far from solving the issues, but she says she has never been more at peace.

    Transgender Rights

    That table makes my head spin, although, back in the Good Ol' Days (TM) of a.s.b., we used the last line as board standard, because it required fewer letters than "he or she," and most of the discussions were gender neutral. I can't parse between all the self identified identities, and I've...

    Transgender Rights

    Fine. You can go around insulting people. I can call you a POS and a transphobic bigot, but I won't. I don't expect you to change. Frankly, I don't care if you do.

    I guess I just try to be a decent human being. You might try it someday.

    No, it's coming across as, "I don't want to have to use the FREAK restroom."

    Transgender Rights

    I submit that a large part of that is because their transition is, as Punch Card Girl so eloquently expressed, imperfect. They are imperfect women or men as the case may be. My friend considers herself a woman, but mourns the fact that it will be effectively impossible to find a heterosexual...

    Transgender Rights

    And some people do. Whose preferences should govern?

    Transgender Rights

    I don't know what the standards are, now, if there are any. They used to be that you had to live as your self selected gender, and have letters of recommendation from two psychiatrists. Some children decide very early that "something is not right." But this conflicts with childhood confusion...

    Transgender Rights

    Sex is included on birth certificates, drivers' licences etc. as an aide to physical identification, not as proof of worth. Perhaps we should change the ID to read: Subject has Penis Vagina Both Neither.

    Transgender Rights

    The problem is, there are no standards. There is anecdotal evidence that a significant number of people, primarily biological males, simply name themselves as transexuals so they can shower with the girls or predate. Should we limit this to people who have completed all the surgeries? Started...
