Somebody said upthread about how Jan Morris has been a woman for longer than she herself has been one, or something like that.
Bollocks. Jan Morris isn't and never has been and never will be a woman. This is the myth that we have to challenge at every level. Jan Morris is a man who has had surgery and hormones and all the rest of it to mimic the state of being a woman, but that is not the same thing as being a woman. Not at all.
The wholesale acceptance of this blatant lie leads directly onto the whole Olympic trans issue. Worley is an inevitable conclusion. Someone needs to be saying you can't bend reality to fit whatever idea you have in your head and expect everyone else to join in the reality bending to make you feel better about yourself.
If your male physiology is so repugnant to you that you have to surgically alter it, fine, but don't then demand to compete at a professional sporting level against people who actually are women. Because you're not one and never will be.
Another alternative would be to invest in years of psychotherapy to try and understand why you feel the way you do and maybe even come to some self acceptance and self love for the person you actually are instead of who you think you should be, and then you can compete as a man against other men on a level playing field.
But no. Where would be the fun in that, when you can throw the most almighty narcissistic strop in the history of man[sic] and have the whole world and its dog dancing attendance on you and agreeing that you are indeed what you're not and everyone else has to contort themselves into impossible and wholly indefensible positions to accommodate you.
Fuckit.
