Transexuals

[LadyForCamus]

And yet you wouldn't kick up this much fuss, nor attempt to prevent, a person from getting plastic surgery. You might not like it, but I doubt you'd make the argument they should be prevented from doing so, yes?

There is a continuum between minor body modifications from tattoos and voluntary amputation. You must be aware of body integrity identity disorder. That is the condition where people self-identify as amputees. What do you suggest for them?

…How many transgendered sexual predators have actually been arrested for doing illegal things in bathrooms? Zero.

The concern has never been about transgendered sexual predators; but rather sexual predators posing as the transgendered.

This specter of bathroom rape resulting from equitable transgender laws is constantly brought up, but there's simply no facts to support it.

And I hope there never will be.

”Dang, I guess I can't go into this women's bathroom to rape somebody now that the law prevents me from using the restroom other than the one matching my biological sex. I wouldn't want to break the law or anything..." Doesn't that sound ridiculous to you?

It’s more like this:

“I better not alert anyone that a suspicious man is hanging out in the women’s room because I might be called a bigot”

Your attitude creates an incentive for people to not report potentially dangerous situations.

People with body integrity identity disorder are having limbs amputated. Or, in one well known case, a woman intentionally blinded herself with some type of chemical cleaner. These poor people are rendering themselves physically disabled. Gender reassigning is not this at ALL. Which is why it is called reassigning, not "genital amputation."

I identify, and have always identified as a heterosexual female. If I woke up tomorrow and saw a penis down there, that thing would be GONE as soon as possible, and if anyone tried suggesting psychiatric medications or psychotherapy as an alternative, I'd tell them to shove it up their asses. Politely. Maybe...
