My point is that the need to disclose reveals a difference between natural-born women and transgender women. They are not equivalent.
When I say "hide their penises," I'm not talking about tucking. I am talking about hiding the fact that they have a penis. And you keep reading the first line and ignoring everything afterwards.
It's hard to believe that you are this dense. It's like you haven't read anything I've said. I literally quoted myself twice linking to two times and more that I have said that no one has ever suggested that they are the same, and neither do the transgender people think they are the same, and no one has asked you to accept that they are physically the same. What we are saying is that there is a difference between sex and gender, and that a person can be female gender and male sex. And that just because a person is female gender does not mean she's trying to hide the male anatomy from sexual partners---and your insistence that they are is what is causing so much resistance.

Don't you worry your little head about it. It's obvious to the rest of us.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
