- This is at least the third time you've stated this as fact, and I can
- no longer ignore it. Your whole premise, quite simply, is suspect.

- Wendy, you're a pre-op transexual identifying as a woman, not a woman.
- Your perspective is as a transexual, not as a woman. You didn't grow
- up as a woman. You don't have the biological functions of a woman.
- You will someday have the physical appearance of a woman. If you are
- very lucky (and I hope you are), you will be able to function sexually
- as a woman.
-
- But don't tell me that I, as a woman, am treated in such-and-such a
- way and that you can prove this through your own experience. I don't
- buy it.
