That Trans Thread

[Jehanne]

Does anyone have any opinion about the supreme court nominee declining to define the word woman because she's not a biologist?

Part I

A H. sapiens individual could be defined as a woman in terms of her biological sex (intersex individuals being more complex) or in terms of her gender (transgender females, such as myself). In my opinion, the former often, but not exclusively, shapes the latter. Some females are very masculine, others are very feminine. Most men are masculine, some strongly sole; others, such as myself, a small minority, are feminine. And, so, what's the issue here?

Part II

Now, for the explicit part; perhaps you, as a social conservative (or, at least as a sympathizer of those who are) can help me out?

My wife and I have five children, all of whom were conceived while I was on my back. For some reason, I lost the ability to ejaculate sometime during my later teenage years. I had only had sex with two women on a few occasions (with great difficulty -- see below), and after meeting a woman in college, I discovered that I had become impotent. Our first and only sexual encounter did not go well; I did not get a boner, and I did not ejaculate; she ditched me shortly thereafter.

Beginning around age 5 I had started "crossdressing", wearing my mother's skirts and dresses; later on, my sister's clothes, girlfriend's, etc. It never occurred to me that I may be transgender. In any case, after Darcey ditched me, I entered a period of extended loneliness.

Finally, I met another woman, whom I would marry. We, of course, tried having sex; same result as with Darcey. She did not ditch me, though, but after a few failed attempts, we tried having sex with me on my back. I got a boner and was able to ejaculate. It's been that way ever since! I tried, unsuccessfully, going back to a more "traditional" role a few times in the early years of our marriage (to try to "please" my wife), but, eventually, we both decided that such is just "who" I am.

To make a long story much shorter, I began to discover my feminine side over time and began to become more feminine. At this time I am openly transgender and even wear skirts to my office in full view of my coworkers, usually, on a weekly basis.

And, so, what's the issue here? I have never been happier!
