Loathing "Transsexuals"


Yahoo! Answers wouldn't let me post the following answer to the question "Do the Transgendered gross you out?" saying in their Violation Notice Appeal Response: "You have posted Content which is Inflammatory and which incites to Violence."







I am indeed grossed out by "trans folk," both FtM and MtF, on many levels. Apart from the dreadful surgical mutilation of their bodies--about which I shudder even to think--and their grotesquely parodic imitation of the genders they claim to be (or, as they say, to "present as"), I find them in terms of character, largely ignorant (or misinformed), slow-witted, ill-educated, coarse, vulgar, delusional, mendacious, irrational, and appallingly ill-bred. Moreover, I keenly resent their claiming the right to associate with me, or to belong to some sort of existential, acronymic "family" with me, simply because I am a gay man. In the ordinary course of things, I do what I can to ignore so-called "trans women," with fair success, despite their clamorous vulgarity, because we have so very little in common, either of concerns or interests. But it has lately dawned on me, to my unspeakable horror, that, as a "cisgendered" gay man, I am a hapless object of prurient interest to the neurotic women who imagine that by pretending to be "gay trans men" they can persuade me to have sex with them--in light of which revelation, I am thinking of purchasing and carrying on my person some small, harmless defensive weapon, like a pea-shooter or a dressage whip, with which I might inflict a dismissive sting, without having to touch their vile bodies with my bare hands.
