I just can’t understand the “cultural sensitivity” towards transexuals and the “trangendered.” Here’s a case of a teacher, formerly named William McBeth, now Lily McBeth, who is now been approved to return to work as an elementary teacher. (Here’s another version of the story)Bug me not
I saw this story on the local news last night, and the news correspondent kept saying “she” and “her” in reference to Mr. McBeth. I don’t get it. HE was born male. HE was born with male apparatus (I assume), and HE was born with a y chromosome.
On a side note, this guy looks like Norman Bates when he decided to play dress up. Not a shred of femininity to be seen in him, aside from the women’s clothing.
I don’t understand how this isn’t considered to be an emotional or mental disorder. I can dress myself in blue tights and a red cape, change my name legally to “Superman” and insist that I am, in fact, Superman. That doesn’t make me Superman.
No matter what I do, or how hard I try, I will not be from the planet Krypton, even if I act like it. I can insist that everyone call me Superman, and treat me as a superhero, but it won’t change the fact that I’M NOT SUPERMAN.
In fact, if I were to do such a thing, I would no doubt be regarded as delusional, and rightly so. On the other hand, if I were to insist that I am a woman, take hormones, have plastic surgery, and change my name to Michelle, then to fail to humor me in my delusion would be considered to be “discrimination.”
Huh? So if my delusion is that I’m Superman, I’m crazy. If my delusion is that I am a woman, my needs must be considered by the rest of society.
I we’re going to indulge this stupidity, I have only one thing left to say: I’m Superman, and I demand cultural sensitivity to my identity issues!

Nah, they’ll just beat the crap out of you and then have you committed. You have to have extra body parts sewn on or removed to be taken really seriously.
Maybe have a tit put on your forehead or something. If you’re dead set on the cape and tights you could always just insist everyone call you Superboob. I’m sure everyone will oblige. lol

To take off on the tit on your forehead idea, you could have balls put on your chin, then tell everybody you were Butters.

Mr. Man, or is it Mr. Superman?, Now that you have been recognized as a faux superhero, what are your thoughts on transgendered homosexuals? That is a person that changes their sex to become gay and sleep with someone who is the same sex as they had the surgery to become.

I’ll see what I can do, WW.
Hmm. Superboob. Might make a good mate for Superman, but I think I’ll pass.
