The drunk swine, after assaulting me in spirit with his language then fell headlong onto the seat next to me, coughed up his last Marly, and fell asleep with his legs in the aisle. And this wasn't the first time such a thing has happened let me tell you.)<br /><br />I digress. Point was, though I may willingly forsake the shackles of femininity (eg with contraceptive implant, now a little infected opps) society will not let me do the same, not with a body and face like mine at least (I am very thin and uncommenly attractive, sadly). Perhaps it is easier for plainer girls, lucky bitches. Alas not for Posie!<br /><br />That's not to say I have a problem with transfolk! You gals/guys/etc rock! Keep up the good work! <br /><br />And actually, Matthew, sometimes I DO go around with my vagina on show.

So if a person wants to be a lady without actually being a lady then isn't that his choice?<br /><br />Obviously a lack of biology does sort of stop you being a lady, but women do not go around with their vaginas on show. <br /><br />So really, to be a feminist isn't about whether you're a man or a woman, but another form of expression to do with the way you identify yourself within our complex contemporary society? Maybe?Maestrocholyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681256277208625416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207787832074055620.post-2537725669898921712009-06-05T00:10:58.920+01:002009-06-05T00:10:58.920+01:00I want to set myself free...I want to set myself free...Joy Leftowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03700619411586350136noreply@blogger.com
