Imagine The World Turned Transgender: Life Without The Sex Binary Print E-mail
Opinion - Global Warning

Springfield, VA, USA. Imagine a world where the sex binary (male or female) was not permitted.

Imagine a society where transgender made the rules and everyone conformed, a planet where male or female was forbidden and everyone considered themselves transgendered. What a brave new world that would be!

Imagine the changes that would be wrought, the differences between that earth and our own: a world without men or women, a world filled to the brim with transgender.

Imagine.
 
Imagine all the single sex public bathrooms in the theaters, in the shopping malls, in Time's Square and all the McDonalds and Starbucks. Then think about all the stalls filled with anatomical wide stance males soliciting anonymous sex from under the wall while lines of desperate, bladder filled females queue up at the urinals along the wall.
 
The pee, the urine, the jism on the floor! The piles of bloody tampons piled up in the urinals, blocking the flow!
 
Imagine.
 
Imagine anatomically male nuns and female bodied priests. The increase in the pregnancy rates in the convent alone are enough to make your head swim. Could a bride of Christ sue Jesus for paternity? The out of wedlock birth rates, however, would be more than compensated for by the decrease in the number of priests charged with pedophilia.
 
Or maybe not. Perhaps there would a commensurate increase in the number of pedophiles interested in young girls and adolescent boys. You would expect that the number of transgressions with young boys would fall as the number of anatomically female priests increases.
 
Imagine.
 
Imagine male bodied rape counselors giving advice to young female bodied transgenders who were raped by male bodied transgenders. I can just imagine the counseling session.
Male Bodied Rape Counselor (MBRC): What were you wearing?
 
Female Bodied Victim (FBV): What do you mean?
 
MBRC: Were you trying to provoke them?
 
FBV: Provoke them to what?
 
MBRC: Sex. Did you ask for it?
 
FBV:
 
MBRC: When did you say no?
 
FBV:
 
MBRC: Cock teaser.
Imagine.
 
Imagine ladies night at any bar. Imagine all the tucking and untucking. There wouldn't be an official "guy" anywhere along the bar. Nothing but cheap drinks and cheaper sex. Butch female bodied transgenders would be hitting on femme male bodied transgenders. The humanity! The ensuing carnage!
 
Imagine.
 
Imagine what would be covered by health insurance. Breast augmentation would have one hundred percent coverage as would beer belly liposuction. Viagra would be free (birth control pills, however, would still be prescription only and require a co-payment).
 
Imagine.
 
In the world of transgender, Drag Kings and Queens would be out of work. How can anyone make a living impersonating a transgender? You have to know what one looks like before you can appreciate a professional impersonation and, as we all know, even in the world of transgender, there is no agreed upon standard for determining who is transgendered.
 
In the world of transgender, discrimination would be based on the timbre of your voice and whether or not you can have and hold an erection. Soprano voiced transgenders would be looked down upon, six inch poles would be viewed more favorably than one inch poles.
 
In the world of transgender, male bodied transgenders would talk over female bodied transgenders at meetings and conferences. Farting and burping would be considered sexy.
 
In the world of transgender, the top rated reality television show would be based on passing. Each week competing contestants would have a bit of make-up or support clothing removed and then be sent to a new bar or night spot each week. Any transgender who didn't pass and was made would be eliminated.
 
In the world of transgender, the ability to retain an erection while taking estrogen would be a matter of pride as would the size of a testosterone driven clit. Middle school transgenders would be caught behind the gymnasium running comparison tests.
 
In the world of transgender, children, upon reaching adolescence, would rebel against the transgender patrimatern hierarchy, and declare themselves male or female as a protest against western civilization. They would march to the nation's capital demanding the sexual binary.
 
In the world of transgender, the most famous writer would be William Shakespeare for his cross-dressing gender plays (As You Like It, Twelfth Night, etc.).
 
In the world of transgender, the most subversive writer would be William Shakespeare for his binary sex plays (As You Like It, Twelfth Night, etc.).
 
Imagine what the top ten list of what transgenders most desire would look like in transgender world.
Number 10: Free glamour photos
 
Number 9: More women's public restrooms
 
Number 8: Painless Electrolysis
 
Number 7: A testosterone that increases breast size
 
Number 6: Colored enamel nail tips that are easily removed
 
Number 5: More women's shoes in size 13 EE
 
Number 4: More televised football
 
Number 3: Human hair wigs that retain their set
 
Number 2: Multiple erections
And the number one thing transgenders would most desire in a transgender world
Male privilege and prerogative
Imagine.

In some ways, "I'm transgender" sounds a lot better than "I'm a narcissistic jerk having a meltdown."

Makes you wonder if democracy is a viable political system, doesn't it? I mean, this guy actually gets to vote in the next election.

The previous post only confirms that if God created Man, he somewhat overestimated his ability.

Someone has to be on the other end of the bell curve, I guess.

So, Michael, have you not even a femme nom de plume? For being a girl all your life you certainly exhibit some major male traits here ... what has happened to the girl you? I don't see her in evidence in your post. It sort of makes your rant all the less meaningful. Could you please stop clogging up the internet with your garbage?

Next time at least try to show us that you understand the notion of having a lucid point; then please make it without swear-laden and gutter-fouled language. Let the girl in you out long enough to compose your thoughts and present them in a manner more befitting a girl. OK?

Thanks ever so much...

and all that writing!

Not to mention the cute, intelligent, sexy columnist?

One line that didn't fit in: Imagine all the separate segregated bathrooms for the transgender who is having his period?

# Diane Kearny 2008-01-16 21:59
Yes Michael, you have been a girl all your life. I think that is called 'parallel universe' or otherwise known as trans-gender since your gender (brain) expression is macho but your claim otherwise is "I have been a girl all my life". That must have been difficult in during childhood seeing as your name is very male, Michael. Do you give each of your fetish items names too? Hint Mike: guys like to use the 'C**t' word and I being a woman and constantly in contact with women have never heard that word used in a conversation. Now where did you last hear that nasty word, in a Sports Bar with a sign on the door, "No women allowed"?

# Satire at its bestDiane Kearny 2008-01-16 22:17
Lisa, I thought your satirical article was so humorous and I loved it although I doubt you will get many 'good job girl' comments by the men in frills types who love to hide under the TG mask.

I thoroughly love how you satirize the mimics then I realized you might be on target and that not only scares me but should also every other man and women, even those not yet born.

Another clue one is a TG man condemning HBS: His value is on what is on the outside and a born HBS's value is what is on the inside. Wonder if Michael read that and if he did, did he understand?

Indeed. I wonder how many of the mirrors have a witch on the other side - and which witch has the poisoned apple?

# California .....Lisa Thompson 2008-01-19 07:40
Well, I was born in Sacramento, went to college when the Panthers were forming, and we were stuck in a seemingly endless war. All things will change, even this if we no longer remain silent, if we speak for ourselves.

Even this war until the next one.

We can change the World if we want, or we can continue to let it drift -- but we have to be practical and pragmatic, learn to be political, and leverage the power of who we are (and who we are not). If we continue to follow the new age transgender movement and the radical vegan wiccan surgeons, we are lost. We either lead or we get out of the way.

As Eldridge Cleaver said, "If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem."

# Sewing up the facts!Diane Kearny 2008-01-24 12:57
Ok, I give up! In order to become part of the transgender new world order I just now called up a surgeon friend who is going to sew up my vagina and make me neuter. She did ask me how I wanted her to handle my clitoris since I really do find that pleasurable. I simply asked her if that was part of the program and she promised to look into it. She is also going to set up an appointment with my hair stylist and give her instructions on how short my hair needs to be so that I look a bit less fem. The difficult part as I see it is how do I grow a beard and hair on my legs and chest. Never had much before but suppose the transgender drug store can help me out there. She told me no need to worry since all humans will need to have some hair growth but not too much or none since that would lead others think me one sex or the other. Gawd forbid, I don't want to break any laws.

I even called the local second hand clothing store inquiring about their supply of androgynous clothes and I was told bluntly that they were sold out. Seems they would not even accept my now unnecessary dresses and skirts because that would characterize anyone buying them as being too fem.

I was told confidentially that I should invest in outhouses like they had back in the 1800's since bathrooms with female or male signs on them would be illegal to use. So, I figure everyone still needs to 'go' and why not use outhouses so as not to be declared somehow an elitist. Wonder if I might get rich? That should work hopefully although I wonder how many women would be comfortable wiping off the seat after following a whizzer into the outhouse?

I also wonder if I need to change my passport, drivers license and notify Homeland Security that I have complied so they will not confuse me with a terrorist. After all they should have me on record as transgender once I follow through with all the mandates that have so far been outlined by the TG guru's. I do wonder if I am going to fit in?

Diane

# ...Um...Lauren 2008-03-06 12:36
Just so I'm clear, this is all sarcasm, right?
Trans people are not attempting to recruit. Trans gendered people are simply trying to make their outsides match their insides. It's as simple as that. it's the rest of the world has a problem with it IMO.

# Diane Kearny 2008-03-06 13:35
Lauren, I guess the question is: what do you mean by gender and how does that relate to trans-gender. Or perhaps you mean your brain gender as opposed to your physical sex which would mean trans-sex. Yes????

# To Lauren's QuestionLisa Thompson 2008-03-06 15:07
I believe it's satire. A literary work in which human vice or folly is attacked through irony, derision, or wit (American Heritage Dictionary). Certainly not sarcastic.

See "A Modest Proposal" by Swift for a prime example of satire. Also "Catch 22" by Heller or the film "Dr. Strangelove" by Kubrick.

On television, The Colbert Report is a good example of contemporary satire.
