The shit's getting deep around here. Mathilda keeps insisting that being a transsexual is about the clothes that you wear. She is truly mystified by the fact that a transsexual is a transsexual regardless of the clothes that they wear. I stopped being a transsexual when I put on men's clothing? A transsexual is a transsexual regardless of what role they are playing.
I called having intimate relations with a person who doesn't know that we are transsexual date rape because that is how so many would perceive it. How would I feel if I had sex with a man who later found out that I was born male, feels traumitized by having unknowingly been intimate with a transsexual, and says that he feels that I sort of raped him? I would feel horrible. It doesn't matter that I don't think that it was rape. It matters that he thinks that it was rape. Am I supposed to ridicule him about his feelings of having been violated? If I expect my perspective that I am inherently female to be respected, don't I also have an obligation to respect the perspectives of others? "I would never willingly have sexual relations with a transsexual because I don't accept that they are really women to the extent of being willing to have sexual relations with them" is a valid perspective. I respect that perspective, and I make sure not to violate it. If I demand that people be willing to have sex with me without knowing that I am a transsexual, then I am making a sexual demand on them. And what is rape but a sexual demand?
Mathilda, if you really think that people don't have any right to feel violated by a transsexual that they would not have willingly engaged in sexual relations with, then you don't have any right to complain about things that you feel violated by.
