		<description>EVERYONE has feelings about an issue, even the people who disagree with you.  Why would you say that only one group on one side of an issue is entitled to have their emotions enacted into law, and the other side is not? 

Some people fweel that the option to choose abortion is wrong, some people fweel that the option to choose abortion is right.  What laws do we pass, and why?  

Sob stories tell us that someone is in pain, logic tells us if their pain is caused by a violation of a human right to which they are entitled.

We live in a world where everyone claims to understand that females are just as human as males, and therefore entitled to the same rights.  But when we start analyzing the subject of rape or abortion, or any other &quot;women&#039;s issues&quot;, we find that those same people are implicitly assuming that it is the females primary job to serve others before she takes care of her own needs.  We also find that those folks make no such assumption about males.

		<description>All reform primarily lies in &quot;sob stories&quot; and relies heavily on compassion to promote change. For feminism, why list rape statistics? To completely debunk the importance of sadness and strife is in opposition of simple humanity. &quot;I&#039;m sad&quot; may in fact be the most valid argument ever put forth.</description>

		<description>I have been stealing your ideas for months, Polly, and you are just now noticing?  lol  Feel honored, for I only steal from the best.  But really, the truth is usually verified by different people at different times, and in different ways.  It&#039;s a good thing.

It really was your repetitious explaination of the difference between gender and biological sex which clarified things for me, and that repetition was very much needed.  If fact, I really hope you don&#039;t stop, as there is one more gem which needs to be pried out from that point...</description>

		<description>A cat brought a slightly injured baby squirrel into the house Sunday, right as I had finished typing a long reply to Charlie (hi).  The squirrel kept hopping UNDER the cat, which confused him so much he stopped trying to kill it and so a fat load of furballs all circled &#039;round and watched the baby squirrel with his new momma.

Then my internet connection broke, AGAIN.  This time it was the wiring.  Now I&#039;m having penises wander around, poking at things as penises are wont to do.  So a temp electric solution was found, but then my mouse ran away with the squirrel.   The mouse is found, the squirrel is gone, and penises are still wandering around gleefully scribbling dollar signs everywhere.  

Anyway, hi Charlie.   The nice thing about having a brain is that we can do fun stuff with it, like change our minds upon further exposure to new elements, like so:  While individual transfolk have their own special snowflake reasons for needing to transition and this need is not begrudged, at heart it all stems from the same place regardless of biological sex.  Transgenderism is an abnormal mind/body dysfunction, with the exact mechanism identical to body-snatching alien abductions and amputation disorder.  

Part of the problem is that we keep going over the same criticisms over and over, but transfolk keep thinking these criticisms do not require refutation.  And they never refute the criticism in the thread in which the criticism is discussed -- they always pick a different thread to ask a stupid question as if a question somehow refutes the criticism made by radical feminists -- yet that question has been decimated in another post.  

In other words, they&#039;re not being honest.  So I&#039;m just going to skip all that and say they are either insane or stupid, or both.  Arguing &quot;with&quot; them is exactly like arguing with an alcoholic.

For the past 50 years science has not been able to prove any meaningful brain differences in biological sex.  Even the most anxious to prove such a distinction admits that the variation expressed by members of the same sex is far greater than the variation between the (two) sexes.  That is not a minor point.  Add to that all the careful feminist evidence over the past 300 years which draws the conclusion that it is culture which genderizes one&#039;s character, not biology.  That is a second major point.

So now we have clusterfuck of morons who recently claim that switching body parts is imperative for normal healthy brains, but lack the necessary ability to recognize that as the late comers to the show, it is their responsbility to prove their contradictary assertion.

In response, I have developed a new argument yet to be posted, one which is designed to piss vanilla girls off.  Hope they have a sense of humor and take it as the learning experience in which it is intended.  I am busy trying to make it as vicious as possible, which as everyone knows is difficult for feminazis as vileness goes against our gentle and compassionate nature.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I am aware that this discussion has been over for almost a month now, but having read this well-thought-out article and the discussion that followed I simply had to put in a few of my thoughts.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Of course, I am hardly an expert in your beliefs and theories, and so if I am making some horrible sort of misconception or simply being ignorant, please educate me.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Charlie, 
Google is your friend. Please educate yourself, then, then put in a few of your educated thoughts.

		<description>I am aware that this discussion has been over for almost a month now, but having read this well-thought-out article and the discussion that followed I simply had to put in a few of my thoughts.

First off, I am very curious to know your thoughts on transmen. While I am aware that you, being as you so proudly claim a radical feminist, understandably hold much contempt for males. What, then, is your opinion on  those who are born biologically female but view themselves as male?

Secondly, I tend to disagree with what you say about radical feminism and transgenderism being at odds with each other. From my experience, the transgender issue is an internal one, focused on changing oneself because the physical self is not aligned with one&#039;s identity. And from what I have read of your radical feminism, it seems to be focused outward, trying to change your surroundings because they are not aligned with your perception of what the world should be. 

Of course, I am hardly an expert in your beliefs and theories, and so if I am making some horrible sort of misconception or simply being ignorant, please educate me.

One last thing: Luckynkl said, &quot;We can exist just fine without you. It is you that cannot exist without us. Women get to decide whether or not to create you or whether you get to exist or not.&quot; But men are necessary for conception, are they not? Whether or not they are required afterward, on a biological level they are at least needed to provide sperm. Unless there is a way around this that I, being uneducated, do not know of. If this is the case, again, please do educate me.</description>
