re: #354 allegro

Though I didn’t see previous discussions, one point I got from JAH, I think, is that a trans woman who has been treated as a male from birth with all of the privilege that accompanies that status, can never be female regardless of physical presentation because of the difference in socialization. There is a valid point of discussion there. At the same time, those of us who are not trans can never identify with that either, with the pain and confusion of feeling one way and being treated by society very differently. All we can do is support, or at least get the hell outa the way and stop judging what we don’t understand.

Just read your comment. Very well stated. If I remember, was not part of the whole dust-up caused by Bruce Jenner becoming Caitlyn Jenner? I would think in that case what you are saying really strikes home.

How many people going through that kind of change have the big media presence, the money and the world watching it all happen. So, maybe the Jenner case can become the big tipping point that changes a lot of perceptions for everyone.

One thing I will say about justanotherhuman, she was sharp as a tack. You may have just pointed out something that flew over some heads.

Okay…later!
