I found a pretty intriguing comment over at Womens Spaces/The Margins concerning a post written by Harry Benjamin Syndrome apologist, Cathy Platine, at Pam’s House Blend.
That whole thread over at PHB consists of males scratching out turf over the female body, each laying claim to ownership.
While I live in this society as a woman, the reality is that I’m male bodied and a surgically constructed vagina will not change that.
Thoughts?

“The often infantile and completely self-centered attitude of many transvestites and transsexuals is occasionally and strikingly illustrated, together with a deeply disturbed, unrealistic, frustrated frame of mind which is the more outspoken, the more the writer inclines toward transsexualism.”

Wow, I just realized who “Just Jennifer” is! Ms. Usher, your rep precedes you! Now I can’t say I’m shocked.
It’s a matter of evidenice, but as you’ve shown most recently, you’re not an attorney, and most certainly aren’t a detective.
Yes, and the ultimate question would come down to whether or not a blog entry would be considered transitory or fixed. Given the nature of the medium, it would like be considered transitory, as it is easily removed.
Nope, I’m not a lawyer, but I do know more than the average person concerning the law. I knew what I was saying when I said “slander” as opposed to libel.
This is what I mean, you obviously don’t know what your talking about. Any changes can be tracked via php logs, and a cache. So, yes… it is fixed.
Yes, men do tend to be visual, so I am not surprised. I rather strongly suspect you like playing games, and that you think a simple claim to be surgery tracked will suffice. I honestly doubt you are. It is not at all unusual for someone to make such a claim.
Last I checked, Leigh isn’t “transgender”, and she posted a link to the pic. Maybe you should direct your comments to her.
Well, I know how you feel there Sue, but I do know… I surely pity you.
