Comments on: Newsweek’s Profile of Transgendered – Racist, Sexist? http://mensnewsdaily.com/2007/05/13/newsweek%e2%80%99s-profile-of-transgendered-%e2%80%93-racist-sexist/ Men's Rights Activism, MRA Politics, Analysis, Commentary and Global News Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:49:00 -1000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: amfortas http://mensnewsdaily.com/2007/05/13/newsweek%e2%80%99s-profile-of-transgendered-%e2%80%93-racist-sexist/comment-page-1/#comment-40693 amfortas Tue, 15 May 2007 10:27:14 +0000 http://mensnewsdaily.com/2007/05/13/newsweek%e2%80%99s-profile-of-transgendered-%e2%80%93-racist-sexist/#comment-40693 Yes, nature gets things slightly askew sometimes. Shortness of everything here, missing bits there, several more of the usual bits than usual over there. And a rare sensation of being that doesn't fit the accompanying decor. And the individual, at the very least, has to deal with it. We too, as general folk in each other's environment, can show some compassion and lend a hand when necessary, but why is it that we are obliged to elevate strange, unusualnesses to some sort of privileged position? If a chap feels he is a chapess and would be happier with a C cup from Victoria and a frock, that's his business. Same for chapesses who want a dangly bit and stodgy old trousers from Hugo Boss. We make far too much demand and complain far too much. Is it too much to ask that we take no notice? Yes, nature gets things slightly askew sometimes.

Our culture is hard on men and thus harder still on the highly sensitive men. A way out is to become female. I am surprised the author found three women who wanted to become men; they're not all that common. As for 'race' that's more likely a function of the author than the editors or publisher. The author will have strong Hispanic connections or spoke with an expert who did.

If you know why, go to the head of the sick joke class. I’ll bet almost every one of these people profiled in the Newsweek article are able to check out of hotels particularly early.

I have a theory to posit about transgendered folk (uh hem) that it has to do with sexual deviancy and sexual deviancy only...but I'd be afraid to say that.
