My argument is that in life, even from birth, you have to play with hand you’re dealt, some people have small penises, some are too tall/short/fat/skinny, more importantly, some people are born without limbs, or the ability to see or hear or taste or smell.
We have to play the cards we're dealt? Says who? Everybody has something about themselves or their circumstances that they're not happy with. Sometimes we can change things to make them better. Sometimes we have to cope with what we can't change.
Sure, there's not much that can be done about some of that, but people who are too fat or too skinny can either gain weight or lose it. People born without limbs can use prosthetics, which are getting more useful as technology progresses. Scientists are working on ways that will enable those born without one of their senses to have them. One day, blind people will get to have cyborg eyes that let them see and deaf people will get to have equivalent cyber-ears. Well I was dealt a male body that has a female brain. I can change my body and make it female. That's how I am playing my cards.
You’re either born a male or female,
That just isn't true. Why is it that transphobic jerks always ignore intersex people. If somebody's external anatomy can be between female and male, why is a mismatch between the brain's gender and one's sex bits so fucking out there?
as unfortunate as that may be to you, that’s the way it is, you cannot ask people to identify you otherwise,
Oh, but I can. And I do.
if I were to go out and hook up with a Post-op “female”, and let’s say the operation was a rousing success and I was completely unable to tell the difference as to whether or not this person was born female or chose to be operated upon, and at some stage the relationship becomes successful, but I was never told about them being trans and had no knowledge of it, I would one day want to have kids, and I wouldn’t be able to, and I would feel completely cheated and lied to. (I understand that I would have been in love with that person, but the point still stands that even from that first night, I’d have still been lied to.)
She's female, not "female". Now, if you fall in love with a trans woman you would feel lied to if she didn't mention it on the first date? Would you hold a cisgender woman who can't bear children to the same standard? Lots of people can't have kids naturally, so if you fall in love with a woman who can't have kids but you want to start a family with her, why is adoption not something to consider? The truth is, that's just an excuse. You just think trans people are icky and you don't want anything to do with us.
Also, trans people aren't out there trying to trick cis people into dating us. And this has nothing to do with letting us live our lives as our true gender. Let me be a woman, because I am a woman, whether you like it or not. Your fears about falling in love with a trans woman are *your* problem. Don't try to make it ours.
I read this somewhere, I don’t know if it’s crazy or genius :’)
“You can scientifically manipulate an Apple to look like, smell like, even taste like an Orange, if I told you it was an Orange and you ate it, you’d believe me, no doubt about it, BUT if I took the seeds from the new Orange out and planted them, they’d still grow Apples.”
That analogy is flawed. My chromosomes (analogous to the seeds I guess) might be XY (but who knows really) but when I was developing in the womb my brain developed like a female brain even though my body became male. Apples and oranges don't have brains so this is a bit like comparing, uh, apples to oranges. Besides, if it looks like an orange, tastes like an orange, etc. then it may as well be an orange as far as I'm concerned.
Also, I'm pretty sure that that kind of manipulation of an apple is probably not possible anyway. And if it were it would probably be because of genetic engineering, which means the seeds would produce trees that grew things that were identical to oranges. So, your analogy is flawed again.
