Enlightened, maybe, but Confused
The other
day there was a bit of a kerfuffle about a transgender athlete who will be
allowed to compete in the Olympics as a weight-lifter. The complaint by some was that a transgender athlete,
in this case a male transitioning to female, would inherently have an advantage
over the female born athletes.
First of
all, I never thought I would ever use the term “female born.” I have spent most
of my life with a gender mind set of male, or female. I came eventually to learn and accept that
some males preferred to have sex with other males and some females prefer sex
with other females. It is confusing to
me, but I understand it. Actually, gay
male sex is confusing to me; lesbianism makes perfect sense.
I must be enlightened.
Then I learned
that some males and some females would have sex regardless of genders, they had
no preference. OK, confusing, but as
long as people are happy, who cares. I
have known several people that spent a large portion of their lives living a
gender preference lie. They were
miserable. When their preferred life
style became more acceptable they changed teams and are now happier. As Martha would say, “It’s a good thing.”
Back to the
weight-lifter. I can see both sides of
the argument. Female born athletes would
have a disadvantage against the strength of a male who changes to female. On the other hand, doesn’t the male turned
female deserve the chance to compete?
My position
is, if you have chosen to have your penis cut in two and reshaped to a fake vigina,
is lifting-weights in Japan really so important? Seems like nothing compared to
changing a perfectly good penis into a probably unattractive vigina.
I recently
saw another article which explained the 11 different gender types and the
associated pronouns to address these people.
The Gay/ Lesbian community is now the LGBTQQIP2SAA
community.
LGBTQQIP2SAA stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer,
intersex, pansexual, two-spirit (2S), androgynous and asexual.
Two-spirit is term used by some indigenous North Americans to describe those
who fulfil a traditional third-gender ceremonial role.
No, I
did not make this up. And how did queer
get in there? I thought that was a
politically incorrect designation.
OK, I
am not enlightened. What I am, I just
learned is cisgender.
What is
cisgender? It is apparently someone who
identifies with the same sex as the sex they had at birth. I mean, when I apply for something and they
ask for my gender and I put “cisgender”, it now requires another question:
“If cisgender,
what was your given sex at birth?
Basically,
cisgender is otherwise known as most people, or normal; though “Normal” is a derogative
term when applied to gender. I don’t know
about you, but I think this term is totally ridiculous.
Confused
yet?
I think
the gender alphabet should be LGBTQQIPS2AAN. Why not add normal to the mix.
How did
it suddenly become so complicated?
Look, I
don’t care, cuddle whomever you want, as long as it is consentual, I’m fine
with it…confused, but fine. I say no to
children, dead people and animals, that cannot be consentual, otherwise enjoy. None
of my business.
Is that
enlightened?
