Transwomen

[Jacqueline]

Jacq, it works both ways you know.. Women do become men surgically/chemically/hormonally..

There is no such thing as a transman either - they are women - mental health problems - pumped full of testosterone with a - to be crude - strap on!!!!!


Do you think with my views I will be cancelled like poor JK Rowling, Germaine Greer etc.?

Its not as simple as that for some.  Haven't you heard of babies where the medics and parents have to decide their sex at birth, because they are not clearly male or female?  Known as intersex.  By puberty they'll probably know if they got it right. 

Someone brought up as a girl because of the external appearance of their genitals at birth may develop in a more masculine way, deepening voice, facial hair, body shape. They may also have undescended testes.  Hormonally they are more male than female.  The opposite can also happen.

And how often does that happen at birth I wonder  ?

[klondike]

A lot less often than later for sure.

I am not saying anything against these poor people, they do need help to make them what they should be.  These are not the people I am talking about.

Thanks Alex, started my day with a smile.

Someone needs to tell the medics that there's a new-fangled invention called an MRI scanner.

That'd show up any hidden balls.

I am so glad that I was doing the rounds when men were real men and there was no guessing game..

There is more testing at birth now, as these various conditions have been more widely understood.  The athlete Caster Semenya looked female at birth, but its pretty obvious she is more genetically male even though she is lacking certain  bits of anatomy.

Apart from with some Thai ladyboys encountered while drunk (no personal experience I hasten to add) there's no guessing involved these days either.

Well most of the time anyway...

The only time in over 30 years that I have seen Paul truly terrified was when he was approached by a ladyboy wearing a pink tutu with sequins, platform sandals and sporting a large Adam's apple.  Oh and I think he had wings too!

[Scrumpy]

I reckon Paul made eyes at him..
