(Day after day...) cont'd and cont'd

You're seeing MALE and FEMALE. You're tossing TRANS into the mix, creating a third sex. What happens if you stop polarizing? What happens if you see sex as something internal and known to one's self rather than something created by chromosomes and body parts? What happens if you see sex as a continuum and labels as labels?

Transsexualism is not about being valued! If that were the case, "men" would NOT desire to be seen as "women" (in our society). It is only about the body and chemicals in the body. MtF transsexuals are those with Testosterone poisoning. FtMs are those with Testosterone deficiency. Male and Female are labels based on body parts. The Transsexual doesn't just desire to exchange labels, if you talk to a few, they'll assure you that you can call them anything you damn well please, as long as they can correct their body. In truth, Transsexuals know damn well that they'll most likely not be valued even after they change their bodies... EVEN MORE SO THAN BEFORE THEY CHANGE.
