My new definition of transsexual*

[lisaquestions]

"Magnet for assholes who want to say stupid bullshit."




* Plus all the usual stuff about transitioning and gender not being considered valid by society

Necessary, but is it sufficient?

For some reason, when I run into the kindred phenomenon for my crud, I keep thinking of some (pardon the goofiness of the visuals) Paul Simon lyrics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKcse3kCBso):

It was in the early morning hours
When I fell into a phone call.
Believing I had supernatural powers
I slammed into a brick wall,
I said hey, is this my problem?,
Is this my fault?,
If that's the way it's going to be
I'm going to call the whole thing to a halt

That delightfully weary aggrieved way he says "Is this my problem? Is this my fault?" captures so much of the experience.

Maybe the oppressed of the world need a group deal on self-heating branding irons that say BRANDED BY A SUBJECT, NOT AN OBJECT.
