I swear the crap being sold by people under the guise of "self-identification" really wreaks of privileged youth desperate for a sense of self, immature self-importance, arrogance, borderline-personality, and just basic pain-in-the-ass. And it's all coming from female-bodied people .... hmmmmm, could it be that this is the best that post-feminist

Where does this all come from?

Mildly obscure but intriguing..
God my spelling tonight is horrible.
No more editing short stories that proclaim to teach peace, self worth and vigilance? *smirks*

Did I ever find myself? I don't think so.. has anyone yet? probably not.. wish I had more time to.

I would just like to echo the "Where does this all come from? *laughs* Mildly obscure but intriguing..."

I have been feeling things like that lately, but the feelings have no concrete direction, so I would love to hear your thoughts.

It's total bull shit and really irritating to be around.

Heh, thanks.

I agree

I know you don't know me. I was just wandering around and I saw this post. I just wanted to say that I totally agree with you.
I was just sort of wondering what you felt about the gaining male privilege thing. Because personally, it scares me a little bit, but it scares me the most when I forget about it.
For example, one day I saw a woman coming out of a men's bathroom, and it sort of took me by surprise. It took me a few moments to stop and think, "Hey... I was surprised to see her coming of the men's bathroom... where I was going

I don't know, I see male priviledge the way I see all priviledge be it class, race etc... I just try to be a good human being and use whatever advantages I have in a positive way. I come from a solid middle calss background with no financial issues, yet I was raised with firm values and that priviledge has not turned me into an asshole, so I don't see why this should. People who become pricks and use male priviledge to get there are just pricks anyway.

Frankly, with transitioning, it has been my goal to get stronger physically, be seen as a man socially etc. I feel as though I did ask for all I got, but I will manage it best I can and thos that can't make the difference can just get out of my life. Thankfully I can say that has yet to happen.

Well, that's cool. It is different than my experience in that even though I sort of knew what was coming, it has all really come as pleasant surprises nonetheless.
And now that I have certain things/abilities, I can't say I haven't been using them to my advantage, namely the physical attributes. Bulking up will certainly make me even more masculine, but the masculine part isn't entirely the point of it for me as it might be for some... it's just the me part I guess and I like how it looks. It happens to be a masculine look. Luckily, I'm comfortable with that. ;)
I'm not as articulate as you are, but I hope I make sense.

Re: I agree

[trannylucas]

Yeah, transitioning is certainly different from one person to the next!

You make perfect sense to me.

Okay, so I came across this and because you rant about some of the same things I do, I've decided to friend you.

So: hey.
