If an aborted fetus feels agony in the process, I'm not for it. If it is just a clump of cells, that's a different story.
It's hard to stem the "public distrust of women, teens and poor people..." when pro-choicers argue abortion should be "safe, legal and rare," vis-a-vis the fact that 50% of all abortions are the second abortion for the woman. Hence, abortion becomes birth control.
all I have to say is, can we all just go back to arguing over feminism?
Yeah, yeah, yeah... Put your nose back into Janice G. Raymond's The Transsexual Empire: the making of the she-male, and keep your theories away from my body.
not @marc22309. My apologies marc 22309.
Anyway...mamakpk:

Then I say we pathologize people who get breast implants, vaginal rejuvination, tummy tucks, butt lifts, go to tanning salons, paint their nails, people who apply makeup, get tattoos, pierce any part of their body, diet, binge, put on fake eyelashes, lie about their age, do bad comb-overs, get penis enlargement...
"Why can't trannies spell?
I mean, really?"

i thinc mostie becoz u'r gey.
In re your point that there is discrimination in the gay community against trannies, you are absolutely correct.

Psst. Here's a little secret, "most women aren't princesses," but many want to be treated that way. Does that somehow impinge upon you?
BTW, we trannies are not the biggest users of cosmetic procedures. As I stated before, If wanting to change your body is a disorder, then I say we pathologize people who get breast implants, vaginal rejuvination, tummy tucks, butt lifts, go to tanning salons, paint their nails, people who apply makeup, get tattoos, pierce any part of their body, diet, binge, put on fake eyelashes, lie about their age, do bad comb-overs, get penis enlargement...Getting the vagnia of a 18 year old when your 40, doesn't make you 18. But it may make your life better. So back off.
As for goverment paying for procedures. Please inform me where this mystical place is. The only US jurisdiction that does it is for public employees for the County of San Francisco.
To suggest that transgendered people's wish to change their bodies is somehow wrong, vis-a-vis putting silicone bags into your chest for women is alright, , is ridiculous. No one is forced to be tranz, and no one is forced to go under the knife if they are. The only thing people like me want to make sure that you who have a problem with it, keep away from us and let us live out own lives, and not try to make us live the lives you think we should have.
Its none of your freakin bizness what I do with my body. If broads can get abortions because of their intrinsic right to privacy, then I can get surgically altered, just like the women who have breast implants, lip injections, and vaginal rejuvenation.
I want you to describe to me where the government pays for anything tranny? Where? You're full of shit.
Furthermore, even assuming, arguendo, that tax money were being used (which it is not), and therefore, under your theory, it would then become my business, then I assume I can start making moral judgements, demonizing and push for the regulation of all those emergency room visits for, and medicare payments to the obese, smokers, people who eat too much red meet, aren't vegetarians, people who don't do enough exercise, drink too much...? Really. You want to live in that kind of world. Bring it on.
Or maybe we can start regulating when and with whom women have children...I mean if my taxes are going to help out that, I should have a say.
I mean really. I've had two virgins, and all I had to do was tell them I loved them.
That's coming from somebody thats been on both sides of the camera.
Missing White Woman Syndrome. The highened interest when some white broad get's kidnapped, as opposed to say, some darker shade of person. It's like second wave feminism...all concerned that upper middle-class white women be free to leave their burgeois homes and go to work at fancy jobs...where as the black woman wanted to get out from having to work so hard.
I mean, really? Is anyone concerned about saving the tranny whores on Post and Larkin here in San Francisco? No.
It the freakin' fruit-loop of a mother he has that let's him not do the hard, right thing. She'd rather let him die with her fantasy of "alternative remedies" then do the hard thing of saving his life.
She should be in jail.
What are you talking about? Go to the "Adult" section of the services section..there are billions of whore ads.
