kathygnomeI'm a transsexual woman. I'm actually living as a woman. I am not holding off or making excuses about why I haven't done this that or the other thing. I am who I am. Period. I'm a woman in the morning. I'm a woman at night. I'm a woman at work. I'm a woman at the family gatherings we didn't get invited to. I'm a woman when it's inconvenient as well as when it's convenient. It's not a cute game I'm playing with gender. It's not cause trannygirzz are SOOOO hot like "tranny bois" are.
I am so damned tired of posers and fakers and noho non-op BUG trendoids with chips on their shoulders I could scream.
No, just because you spent time as a lesbian doesn't mean you should be allowed entry into women's space. And when you claim you have the right to go into it, you're implying that I shouldn't have that right. And don't tell me you're not. Because if a transmale is within the category woman, it follows that a transwoman is in the category male. And I most certainly am not. But your arrogance certainly sounds like male to me.
You don't belong at Smith, Mount Holyoke, or Simmons either. Oh you have a scholarship? Well boohoo. That's a scholarship that could be going to a woman. So suck it up and be a man and put in your transfer. U-Mass awaits. I went there. It won't do you any harm.
No. You do not belong at Michigan. And no, my protest of The Policy is not about making a statement about how gendered space is wrong. Or about building a "trans community" whatever the hell that means. I support womyn's space. I do not want you or any other male in it. And I want to be allowed access to it.
Or maybe you do belong in women's space. Let's see. You date only lesbian women. They still call themselves lesbians. You all still hang out in the lesbian world. You go to lesbian clubs. You have absolutely no natal male friends. And while it maybe culturally biased, you act like a woman. Especially when you go home and use a female name and appearance to smooth over things with your parents. And somehow, no matter what your claims of wanting a big masculine are, in the past X years you haven't managed to get your sad butt to an endocrinologist to get yourself on T. You know, if I wasn't so politically correct, I might get this vague suspicion that maybe possibly you're not quite serious about being a man. That this is just a game.
Sweetie. You're not transgendered. You're a poser. And don't tell me how poor little old you who looks, acts, and dresses like a woman is so damned oppressed because those big meanies won't change your ID without a court order when there are women out there who are fully transitioned and have been living as women for years who can't get theirs changed.
And if you are passing as male and dating a woman, don't give me that idiocy about how you don't have straight male privilege. You see that LJ icon with the boy and the girl in it? No, people don't see that as queer. They see a nice cute little straight couple. You don't get the funny looks from waiters and grocery clerks. You don't get told in the hotel lobby that "oh we had you booked for a queen, I'll put you in a room with twin beds." You know why? because you have straight privilege.
And you can probably buy a goddamned grill too. Don't tell me how you can magically just wave a wand of pixy dust and make privilege go away. I used to be a man. I know how privilege works. There's absolutely nothing you can do to stop it. Goddess knows I tried.
