Transgender
For the first time in my life I've used LOL.
https:/
Come on....even the most achingly right-on amongst us on AB, and there's loads, must find this LOL. I more than LOL'd, I bloody roared with laughter. He was wearing an Ann Summers Mrs Clause outfit fer christ's sake.
What the hell is somebody who is clearly a bloke doing pouting like that?
Am I wrong to find this hilarious?

That would be an ideal Pixie, people should be free to be whoever they wish to be without society sticking it's oar in, but why the offence at pronouns, as a woman I genuinely don't understand why some women are so militant about trans people not using the pronoun 'she'?
I'm a woman and it damages me not at all if the person previously known as Eric suddenly wants to become Erica and use she, so why does it upset you so much?

It isn't just about hormones spath. Men are different biologically, emotionally, psychologically, physiologically... and DNA. Every cell in your body is male. There is no way of changing everything. If we had all been born the opposite sex, we wouldn't be us with different parts, we would be someone else entirely.
It is just untruthful, cal, nothing even to do with transgender. I hate deception and lies no matter who they are from. Our language belongs to all of us and so does truth. We have a right to a say before that gets hijacked as well.
And yes, spath. These people are generally claiming to identify as women- while actually proving they don't.
If I wiped some black shoe polish over my face and showed a black person every stereotype I had ever seen... would that be fine for you to accept I really am black?

I don't understand why people are so hung up on biology relating to actual genetic sex at birth and gender identity which is an entirely different thing. If someone identifies as female- how does that harm anyone else? Doesn't matter how physically male they are, it still doesn't hurt people to respect their gender identity.
"Spath, I am not condoning the "eeuurgh" or whatever she said, at all."
In my opinion, by implying people shouldn't have to lie by calling her "she" then you're condoning the Nurses response to be truthful about how she feels about the situation.
You either show respect, or you're honest but i mean hopefully you can be both. Calling a transwoman she is showing respect, calling them he because you don't want to lie (as you put it) is rude.
