Gender Norms, Postmodernism and How We Identify and MeToo

Dude, or dudette, they have online sites for that.

Sloth, if you really need this explained…

No, you have it backwards. it’s rude to ask me to join in your ‘polite’ lie.

also a separate issue.

In public discourse, I will treat any person, born male or female, who presents themselves as female, as a female. I will use feminine pronouns. That does not mean I would date a transgender individual. That’s a leap that I don’t have to take.

I’m not saying that a male-to-female person IS THE SAME as a person who was born female. I’m saying that, socially, I treat them the same, because it’s the right thing to do. It’s just basic respect homie.

Out of curiosity, how much direct interaction have you had with the transgender community in your life?

Again, you avoid the actual question.

Happy birthday troll

This is why I like you. But, having said that, you make my point. I just refuse to then abandon that reality.

There is more than one reality?

Which is? I’m juggling multiple people here.

Woah… when did Erin become post op? I’ve been living under a rock.

I would still steal the wallet and I would bang depending on whether my friends pick up on the trans thing.

In fact, it would seem the answering is rather one sided. Anyone want to answer my quesions?

Are you guys just as open to dating/marrying trans?

You don’t value the feelings of people who don’t identify with their birth sex as much as those who do.

You don’t value mine. And it’s not that I don’t value their feelings. And it isn’t even about that specifically. They could tell me they were a manimal.

Not me but I want kids. Plus, a transexual might be bigger than i unless she is a little person, who I wouldn’t date either.

there are many physical traits that keep me from dating particular women.

I don’t find myself attracted to certain facial features, bodytypes, etc. Having a vagina falls into the category of physical features I put on my ‘must have’ list.

I’m actually about as likely to marry a woman with a penis as I am a woman with small boobs.

How’s that?

So, you see a definite difference. A fact of nature. Ok.

No, not Erin–she’s your hypothetical. I would never mess around with the chick in your hypothetical, man–bros before hypos, and all that. I was referring to the individual in my (way upthread) hypothetical scenario–the one who dropped the Givenchy wallet.

Would you date a black woman? An actual female since you don’t date males who identify as women.

How is attacking someone’s identity the same as choosing to be civil? It would pain you to be civil as much as it pains someone to be discriminated against? If your wife asks you if she looks fat, and she does, we’ll see how you’ll choose civility over honesty.
