Whereas i “get” where you are coming from, there are two points i wish you to consider. First is that you appear to be extremely bigoted, prejudiced, and stereotypical concerning “males”. The description “We talked about the symbology of the penis. Jimena and I immediately agreed that penis-owners have historically hurt vagina-owners in many ways. Some of these ways have specifically included the penis as a weapon, as an instrument of harm.”

I have been sexually abused by an authority figure and raped/assaulted by a girlfriend. Both of them owned a vagina.

“ A man’s penis swaggers and struts, conquers and acquires, penetrates” is not me dear. That is referred to as an egotistical dominating “asshole” whether male or female. Seems you could add any and all “men” to “excluding whole demographics because of abuse we experienced from humans with similar features, we could find ourselves excluding a whole race, or everyone with blue eyes, or all ectomorphs, etc..” Some one may have hurt you, but i don’t appreciate being lumped in with them.

Second, your insistence that i must see you as you wish to be seen is ludicrous. Whether i see you or any other trans person as “male” or “female” is irrelevant. If i see you as a person; a human being, the same as me, then i will respect you for who you are, body parts aside. It is my belief that few of us are exclusively male or female, such polar opposites existing only on the tales of a bell curve with the vast majority of humans falling somewhere in between. Or, the concept that there are 3 sexes which makes some sense. Either way, stereotypes are unhelpful and the notion of feminine superiority lunacy. As i try to inform my friends involved in ME TOO, having more women in powerful places will only result in more women being involved in sex scandals of their own.

As a single father for years, i have experienced first hand the bigotry and prejudice of “the fairer sex”. You can rest assured i was never invited for play dates let alone allowed to join in on conversations about raising toddlers etc. I guess they feared being swaggered, strutted, conquered, acquired, and penetrated by the “dick” in the room?

Moreover, at least you have a label to get behind. I am not gay, not particularly bisexual, not transgendered, not entirely male, sometimes feminine, the supported “housewife” in my heterosexual (?) relationship, and mostly i wear long t shirts with jobst ultrasheer stockings to contain and cover the varicose ropes in my legs. So i don’t fit LGBTQ. It appears i am just an ordinary pervert with a penis?

Unless we can finally all grow up and stop lumping everything and everyone into ridiculously tiny pigeonholes that dehumanize us all. To me, you are not a boy or a girl, but a person. My only wish is that you see me as the same and not some giant prick whose sole purpose is to ruin the lives of wymyn.
