It Doesn't All Come Out In The Walsh

Matt Walsh? Okay. He does make some good points-- [video of MW declaring impossibility of compromise]

Compromise isn't the best idea anyway. What do you mean?

Compromising. People can't YET be completely transitioned from an ordinary male to a birthing female. To my knowledge, it's not possible for an ordinary female to become a fertile male either. We ALSO  can't do complete genetic transformation. So you agree with him?

Almost. He's being short-sighted about one thing. Compromising isn't that great of an idea in the first place. Reality is reality. What he missed is that if they can accept reality and real language then it would be time to start really talking. THAT would be extending a hand into the middle and meeting with civility. All both sides have to do is accept reality and agree not to abuse the thing we refer to as American English. Do you think they can?

I think they probably could, but I doubt they want to. Maybe the reality is something they don't wish to face. I don't really care, myself, but they will someday. This is a prediction?

Yes. When a trans person causes one too many medical mistakes by using pronouns or not being perfectly clear about their stage of being, they WILL care. The sad thing is that they'll blame the medical community completely and take no responsibility. There was another instance I've seen reported online where there didn't happen to be a female-only surgical team, care team, etc. The patient refused care, died, and the heirs blamed the hospital. There still aren't as many female surgeons in America. Sometimes, if you want care, you need to go with what is available. I wasn't eager to have a female give me a medical exam, but I'm shy. Modesty was a virtue when I was growing up. When I had horrible flu and the doctor and the nurse in the Urgent Care, both female, needed to see my privates to check me for possible STD's (their policy, since the nurse was inadvertently splashed with my blood sample,) I blushed the whole time. 

Sometimes things aren't easy. What would you suggest?

Noting that some females are completely sterile. Generally speaking, if a gynecologist can't tell with a casual exam, then that would be female enough to date for fun for a straight male. Isn't it really about sex anyway? Calculating.

Don't give me a percentile. If it's 'Gender: Male, Sex Characteristics: Female'--Well, isn't that enough? Various online persona do not agree.

They don't have to. I'm remarkably picky. No one has to agree with me. But if they can't tell--how do they know they haven't already? And in various stages?

I don't even see how women have found ME attractive. I don't see how women find men attractive at all. So, I guess the fact that I'm not interested at all if I think someone is not all woman (ignoring the microscopic level) just says I'm consistent. Have you been propositioned by males?

Yes. How did you react?

In all but one case, I said, 'sorry, I'm straight.' The last time I said, 'I'm married,' then when he said, 'SO?' I said 'I'm straight, anyway,' When he said, 'I'll fix that,' I said, 'Go away.' He complied. Have you ever been a part of violence against gay men?

No. I had a guy ask me to kill him once. He was in a bad way. I told him no. This is not a usual offer.

[snort] no--it's the only time that ever happened to me. Guys who are violent toward gays, with the exception of fighting off rapists or would-be rapists, are homophobic, which usually means they have latent homosexuality. They are fighting themselves?

Yep. Thank you.
