NY gender law not realistic - Opinions
I'm sorry, but since when are stupid bigots allowed to come of sounding like experts. I don't usually like to call people names, but steve Kook is just that a Kook! Hey, we are the only ones allowed to engage in revisionist history, we let anyone do it and we won't have control anymore. That in a nutshell is his argument.
Wake up Steve. I've been female, through and through, for as long as I KNEW the difference between the two. Medically I've undertaken, willingly, numerous steps to correct what I consider little more than a birth defect doctors missed when they "guessed" at my gender. Hormone replacement therapy is a major, irreversible step, after more than a year the way back is risky and not likely to be all that sucessful. After seven years (just four years from now) every cell in my body will have been replaced by one completely female in nature. What genitalia I have at the time will be far less significant than what my blood chemistry says. What is between my legs, of between my shoulders is not what makes me a woman. What is between my ears on the other hand is now, always has been, and will ever more be female. My mind. I tried to change it, attempted three decades of lies, deceit and acting toseem like someone I'm not. My health, happiness and welfare however suffered greatly.
I have, as a person BORN here, in the United States of America, certain rights given to me by the founding fathers. These brave and stubborn men fought King and crown to step forward and loudly proclaim:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --"
Wow, a real page turner!
Seriously though, this has nothing to do with you specious and out right discriminatory thinking and arguments. The US constitution forwards additional rights, including but not limited to the following:
"Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. "
How do these two things go together? Simple, 99% of my paperwork says I'm female, a woman, a United States citizen by birth. The one last, tiny bit of information is incongruent with the rest of my life, and can cause huge problems, including but not limited to gross violation of my forth amendment rights. Then of course, there is my fifth amendment right:
"Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. "
In short, 1% of my paperwork incriminates me without so much as a by your leave, and on the face of it violates my fifth amendment rights.
I don't want to be some kind of gender varient "creature" the circus freak who's life is half male, half female, and never quite whole.
With God as my witness, I don't WANT to be a woman. Despite this being the twenty first century, bigots are everywhere, and women everywhere are still second class citizens, in some places worse that that, we are not even considered human. I can think of any number of other things that I could do with the time, effort, money, blood, sweat and tears spent reaching "congruence" and if there was any way I could survive the ongoing charade of the last thrity years, I'd give it a go. Oh wait, did that, time and time again.
I don't want to be a woman, I just am one. It has nothing to do with clothes, shoes, shopping or makeup! Well, maybe shoes . . . :-o) I has everything to do with the fact that when I open my mouth a woman's heart, mind, soul and spirit express in a clearly and distinctly female fashion. Why? Just because I'm a woman, I didn't, and wouldn't CHOOSE this, why it would be so much easier being a heartless, insensitive, unthinking bigot like yourself, making idiotic argements that have nothing to do with gender, history, medicine, health or anything else.
I suppose you are one of those completely slimy morons who saw araped woman should find, and marry her rapist and raise the child of violence together in agony all her days until she finally snaps under the strain and kills all three of them. I suppose you are one of those hideous creatures who believes I should carry my child to term even if it kills me, leaving another orphan in the world?
The founding fathers didn't set out to TAKE rights (or responsibilities) from anyone, John Adams didn't say: Okay,so we all get to be free and live happy, peaceful lives EXCEPT for this list of people.
I HAVE the same rights as you do, for the same reason, and while it is your right to stand and be known far and wide as a complete idiot and bigot for shooting off your mouth without giving it a seconds thought, is it my right to stand up in full public view and say "He's an idiot and bigot, here's why!"
So Steven Kwok, just take your idiocy and bigotry and sell it to someone with less brains than yourself. You go ahead and keep on shouting at the rain Steve because you don't understand it and cannot sell it.
I cannot be too hard on you, it is against my moral and ethical code to have a battle of whits with unarmed people plus I make it a point never to kick people who are retarded, infirm, or otherwise less advantaged than I am. So you are pretty much covered there . . .
I am a woman, never "going" back, never want to, and just want to live in peace without morons like you messing up my hair. You are a bully and an ignoramus Stephen Kwok, go play blind man's bluff on the highway okay?
Something like a growth and progress diary [Great just what a grrl needs, another diary to write in!] that will include flashbacks and pointers to other relevant materials. Something like a "Stream of consciousness" with a moving target. This is as much about my growth and recovery as it is about sharing parts of myself with other people who may have been through similar things. No matter what you've been through, or where, or when, know that you are NOT alone!
