What is a woman ?

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

In spite of what you may have heard or seen discussed I have (do not think but actually have) the answer but would like to hear other people's thoughts before I disclose the one supreme truth that is irrefutable IMO.

As it has been written: Woman: XX, Man: XY. 

I can lend a hand to anyone feeling more masculine or feminine soul wise, I understand that, but I won't call a biological man a woman. Or A biological woman a man. I won't do it. It's lying to myself and lying to the one that expects it.

I'm on a platform where it's about finding partners for certain adult activities. There in my profile it says I am looking for women, still I get private mails from males in women dresses that then, after politely telling them "no, read my profile: women", call me a bigot and backwards, even insults sometimes. IDK what these people expect from me??? When I do not react at all I am called rude and unpolite.

Transgenders, do your thing, be what you want for yourself. You have my respect just like any other human being for that but don't expect me to cater to a lie you crafted to make yourself feel better. You even get my symphaty for feeling stuck in the wrong body soul wise. But there it ends. None of those trans women will ever menstruate or be able to bear a child, their DNA will always try to undo what is being changed with hormone therapy. 

In exchange for that tolerance, I EXPECT the transgender community to be LOUDLY AGAINST anything done to kids under the age. When that day comes and the transgender community and it's supporters are keeping it away from the children, THEN I will think about calling a trans woman a woman and the other way. Earn it, earn my respect and trust you're not using the children for your movement to up the count and make it less a minority.

Thank you for your post. I too am big on earning respect. I don't think this has to be the thing, it has become. I see it as another block to actual conversation, by clogging it up with emotions and preventing one the ability to listen.

I will admit growing up in the South, exposed me to opinions and attitudes that had little to do with tolerance.

There was no short supply of bigotry, racism, and just plain rudeness and vitriol towards those that were labeled different.

I had an Uncle that was homosexual. He did not hide and everyone knew it. I am sure there were plenty of nasty things said behind his back, but civility, subdued them from being said to his face.

Unless there was a reason for a fist to cuffs altercation, racist epitaphs were few and far between. 

Not because there was an increased amount of love, but because we lived in a area that was so poor that we "had" to work together to get along.

Civility, common courtesy, tolerance, and independent thinking has become taboo in our modern cancel culture.

When you have a medium that has a large amount of the population ending up in the ER because they can't resist being a participant in the latest potentially deadly internet challenge, then we can't be surprised when large numbers are willing to believe up is down, and cows are fish.

We don't have to believe everything that someone we like says, especially when we know it is wrong.
