I don't care if they are lesbians. I don't care if they want to wear men's clothing. I don't care if they want to drive big trucks, grunt and fart, and grab their crotches and spit (classic male behavior). But I DO care if they want to pretend that they have actually transformed into men. I'm calling Bull on this one.
While these women have decided to take testosterone injections and remove their breasts, they do NOT wish to loose their female genitalia or reproductive organs. They do however consider themselves completely transformed into men. Sorry ladies, you can't have it both ways!!!
They could say "I am living life as if I were a man" or "As far as anyone can see, I'm a man", but no. Rather than admitting that they just prefer a masculine role in society, they actually believe that they have become men. I don't know what Bono's legal status is, but Beatie is legally a man....who vaginally bore a child...WTF! How does that make any sense to anyone?
Please take note of the following definitions from Merriam Webster:
Male: an individual that produces small usually motile gametes (as spermatozoa or spermatozoids) which fertilize the eggs of a female.
Man: an individual human; especially : an adult male human
Masculine: having qualities appropriate to or usually associated with a man
Now if these women decided to have gender reassignment surgery, I would gladly overlook the whole "motile gamete" thing and call them men. A creatively constructed penis is as good as it will ever get for them, and I would say good luck with that Mr. Bono and Mr. Beatie. But no! Society has decided that testosterone and a mastectomy make one into a man. What about women in menopause, or those who have lost their breasts to cancer? Have these chics suddenly become dudes?
In short: 1) I am not homophobic...I don't care who they sleep with 2) Everyone has the right to be masculine or feminine regardless of their sex, but 3) Having a hoo-ha and a uterus means your a woman.
