I was curious after watching a Vietnam Documentary and Googled "Vietnamese Traps"
Boy, I should've turned Safe Search on first...

I think if you look like a woman and act like a woman, nobody will question if you're a woman.
If you have to point out you're a woman to everyone you meet, well, you might not be a woman.
I've known biological women who have beards and masculine features. You can still tell they're women.
Same for men in the reverse.
I dunno how anyone can imagine they're anything than what they are. I would think as a man I would never be able to imagine what it is like to have female genitals and plumbing and all the sensory information that gives the owner of such things. It's impossible for me to know what having a period would be like physically. As much as no woman knows what it is like to have male biology and all that entails.
Just as I cannot imagine what it would be like to be a dog, dolphin or attack helicopter. Well I can imagine, but I doubt my imagination could match the reality of actually being those things. And having my body modified to aesthetically look like those things won't make my body function like or feel like those things do. A fake penis or vagina for example is not a penis or a vagina. They at best only look like those things.
Don't get me wrong. I don't care if you wanted to cut your arms off and identify as a fence post. Just don't force it on me, don't expect me to accept it as normal. At best all you are entitled to is my tolerance of you.
You lose me when you think you can force me to accept you for who or what you are and how you think and live, while you completely reject accepting me for who I am, what I am and how I think and live.
Equality, tolerance and respect after all are a two way street.
Well heres the thing I don't give a # about feelings anymore
He has some nice wades though. Not the 1A kind but the high heels really do their job here.
Offtopic aside, the dudes attitude towards the shop owner is the reason why most won't even waste a second thought on the "he she" thing. The vile, demanding and condescending behavior coming from the dude in the skirt is doing no good to those that just want to be left alone.
I'm bisexual so I am no stranger to the LGBTQ scene (that I condemn and want nothing to do with it) and the characters roaming inside it. What that dude did in the video, the respectless way and behavior, that's a nice way to scoff me and other people off and just close up.
Why would give someone the benefit of the doubt and listen+think about their arguments, when they do not show any willingness to give me the same benefit of the doubt.

Sometimes I wonder if this whole gender thing is a direct response to our strengthened world-view "man / woman" has "man / woman" mindset.
Wish we could all agree that regardless the sex or gender or whatever, there are souls that lean towards a female mindset and others lean towards a more male mindset. Then we can all be man and woman again and stop this madness, especially around the kids.

That is one brave lady...
I salute her for standing up to bigotry.
She was absolutely right in what she did...
...and the veterans attitude only solidified that conclusion.
"he she" thing huh? How very enlightened of you.

Hahahahahah the irony! I'll refrain on saying why, I do hope you can figure it out on your own.
