re: How Ben got his penis

quote:

---

There he began his life as a man, working at a hotel, wearing a uniform and smiling when Southern types called him “son.”

This is what I don't get with these people. And what exactly is "southern types"? Are southerners the only people who address people by their sex? Bottom line, if you without question look like a dude people will address you as such.. Same thing if you were a girl..

Another bit by Chappelle that I think is appropriate.

Gender is a fact

That night, he began the bureaucratic work of transition: texting his mother, posting a Facebook status

“Ben” does not have a penis. The only way to make a penis is to impregnate a real biological female and if the unborn child has XY chromosomes, he will grow a penis. What “Ben” has is a surgically manufactured facsimile of a penis. “Ben” is a woman. No amount of surgical mutilation will change this fact.

I didn't read the article, but when you get a penis can you pick the size?

It's Friday. I have a massive headache dealing with work and personal shite. And this is not helping.

he pictured a more hostile group of drunken men and how they might react to the absence of his penis. Bathroom bills were on the rise, and every day for the rest of his life, taking a leak would mean managing risk.

So to sum up the article (and every article you will ever read about trans people): just identifying as the opposite sex wasn't the true end goal. This chick desperately craved attention and took exterme measures to get it.

Understood. Moving on.

These people are insane and should be treated as such. They're not brave. They're fricking crazy.

I'll never understand why people care so much how other people live their lives. We all end up in the dirt anyways.

Why not a brain transplant? Her pussy probably wasn't broken.

Can they make mine bigger ?
