The implied transphobia of this thread disgust me.
Just because some women were unfortunate to be born with male genitals, doesn't give us (cismales) the right to ridicule them.
I think it was intended to be fun and playfully surprising , not as "transphobic".
Any more than backlashes of "Ann Coulter is a man" are transphobic. It just implies that Ann Coulter is tough like a man. And I think McGurk's remark was far more light and humorous in intent than the remarks directed at Coulter.
I actually had to look up the term
"cismales", and although some of the details are still not clear to me, it roughly translates to
trans-genderI was likewise trying to be fun.
I jokingly said "gross" because it isn't something that aligns with my tastes. The same way that I think putting ketchup on a hot dog is gross.
There was a guy named Magicjay who used to post here who became a fun contributer here for a while, and was an articulate representative of the transgender lifestyle. As I recall he lived in the San Francisco area, and had an operation to become a woman around the time he stopped posting here.
