So the golden question is--how do we classify people like Bruce?
She's a transsexual female... What more is there to classify?

Well, yeah, but to this day there are people who aren't satisfied with that.

If it's got boobies and a cha-cha, I count it as a gal.
If it's got a hoo-hoo dilly and an Adam's apple, I count it as a dude.
If you want to pretend otherwise, that's not really any of my business.
That's a dude that has been modified. I have no problem with modified dudes. We can all get along.

What if it has boobies, a cha-cha and an Adam's apple?
So first they started this crap, to destroy the family unit, look at blacks in America, no fathers in most black children's lives.

So my teacher for my "College Writing" class decided that spending a week in class learning about current issues was something actually worth teaching about.
I think I was wrong.
One of the many subjects we discussed was gender. No, not feminism but instead how we classify society as either Male or female. I realised that my friends think that if we were to do it any other way it would be dumb and stupid, that it should be just always be Male or Female. That got me thinking.
We live in a confused society, one that changes so goddamn much it can't even remember what the hell it had for lunch literally 5 minutes ago. Everything's changing. Being gay or lesbian is becoming accepted, and someone who used to go by the name Bruce is now Caitlyn. Interesting.
So the golden question is--how do we classify people like Bruce? They obviously don't want to be the gender they we're born with and I personally am okay with that. Now me personally, I'm more Asexual than any kind of sexual . But I don't think it would be right to classify them as the opposite, because they're not. Once again i'm not against it, but it just poses so many issues with the current tide of society. It's like going against the flowing tide. Different.
But imagine a society that passed by the two words Male and Female. Obviously people would still procreate with male parts and female parts. That is just how it works. But a society that separated from these norms would be so different that the ideas of being gay or lesbian don't mean a thing, because there is no man or woman. Just based of who you want to be. BAM, instantly every gender issue solved, because there is no gender.
Just food for thought.

If a man wants to call himself a women, but then pays about £30,000 to make it happen, I'm not going to agree. He just 'looks' like a woman in that case. He wont have menopause or a period, he wont have a child in his womb or produce milk for a baby.
People get too caught up in this issue and it's a distraction. Who cares what someone else 'wants' to think they are?
Just don't let a man use a womans toilet. That's the bottom line of it all, at least from what I've seen!
I'll say it again as it bears repeating - this is a distraction from very real and very important matter - it causes division on a MASSIVE scale too.
