Why is it mutilation in one case and not the other? That is what I am asking and that is what you are refusing to answer.

Don't give in to the trolls, let threads like this die a quick death.
Seriously folks, if you are not willing to answer, why bother posting?

No answer from you either, huh?

One is a personal choice, the other is not. You can't seriously not have known that.

People who have posted here with any regularity know she's never posted any such thing.

I've encountered one. In the workplace. A large man who wore a wig and dresses. We were for some reason expected to disregard the obvious reality and refer to him as a female in meetings. The women in the office were particularly ill at ease with him using the ladies room. I took the opportunity to move to another project soon after. I hold that there is no such thing as a "transperson" (to use your term). These are individuals with a mental disconnect which needs addressing by treating it as such, not by mutilation or cosmetic behavior such as changing the hair or style of dress. The problem is in the brain, not the body, and the brain is where it needs to be treated. I've never heard of a case of medical treatment where someone has a broken arm, cancer or other malady and the doctor responds with "Quick, cut off his d*ck and get some makeup!" or "She needs an addadictomy, a crew cut and a flannel shirt, stat!" And I surely can't fathom why the rest of us are expected to change our behavior or sense of reality to accommodate the twisted mind of another. Should I encounter another, of course I would immediately distance myself and my family from them in all ways, pronto.

Funny how "being true to themselves" seems to involve the rest of us accommodating them.
Do you always feel discomfort with people who aren't the same as you?

And what exactly are you shaking in your boots about that you'd have to distance yourself and your family?

Worth noting, I think both are wrong. But that's the answer in terms of cultural acceptance.
