disturbing conversations with a gay male
Him: lol there are few F2M i like
Him: well rather can stand
...blah blah blah....
conversation topic shifts to phalloplasty
Him: oh like fake cock
Me: I wouldn't say that
Him: hey did you know that strap on spelled backwards
Me: Yeah, I've heard that one before
Me: phallo is quite a bit more than a fake cock
Him: ahh i donno i except transmen but some i just don't except as male
Him: its just a fealing for me not so much that they "act male" its just a fealing a get
Him: besides i also beleive there arn't that many differnces from men and woman when you get down to it
Me: Such as? I mean...would you be offended if people referred to you as female?
Him: no i woud just tell them that my sex and gender are both male
Me: I believe male and female thought processes are completely different
Him: i don't
Me: I think that if you force a male brain to follow female thoguht processes, the result will be insanity
Him: i think women can be far more cruel then men although there are some men who use the female form of crulity and vise versa
*start of JonahRant*
Me: that depends on your definition of cruelty
Me: a lot of women are emotionally detached, as are some men and either can employ a form of practicality which is lost on the opposite sex, and can be interpretted as cruelty
Me: or in this case, the opposite gender no matter what meatsuit they happen to be wearing
Me: gender is a social construct based on a specific set of personality traits and scenario responses.
Me: if a person's gender, as defined by society, does not happen to match their external appearance, they will be socially outcast throughout their entire existance unless they do something to alter their outward appearance to ac tin congruence with their personality
Me: if they feel so strongly about their proper place in society that they will bear the pain and cost of surgery, I think the least the cisgendered community can do is accpet them for the gender they wish to express
At this point, he said he had to go shower. goddammit, if I can't even trust the queer people in this area...who CAN I trust?? Why must I constantly be defending my very GENDER to everyone I meet...and how can I keep my temper when they don't KNOW that by talkign this way about transguys, they're actually insulting ME without subjecting MYSELF to their ignorance.
I'm so sick of this! I want a normal life..I jsut want to be a normal person...is that so much to ask?
