I Am A Woman, Ask Me Almost Anything

[Nuala]

My sexual partners are comfortable in their sexuality. I am a woman and they are having sex with me as such. I do not have a vagina at the present time, so I can only speak to you from a girlpenis point of view. I am not attracted to men. I'm a bottom.

 

[Mike Cash]

There's a word "girlpenis" now? Goodness gracious, how things can change when one is away from home a while.

 

[OoTmaster]

Yeah it's a very politically correct nation now. I don't care though I just say whatever words I want. If people get offended it is their problem.

 

[Hezam]

However i improve my english it's still too far to understand this issue.

That's the first thing I thought when I saw that question. I guess everyone has a little Douglas Adams in them.

Maybe you do, but as far as I am concerned that is just S.E.P.

You are not attracted to men, so are you lesbian then? And being a bottom, doesn't that mean there should be a top? Tops are usually male. Or is there a tops for Women as well? This is very interesting to me so I may be over-thinking this...

 

[Mike Cash]

He's attracted to men.

Pardon my profound ignorance, but what is a 'girlpenis'?

It's what used to be his boypenis until he decided he's a woman.

So in other words it's just a penis.

No, it can't be just a penis. Gender studies tells us (at least I assume it does) that he has to have a new made-up word for it because he's a woman now. If it were still a penis then the whole emperor's-new-clothes farce would crumble and he'd still be a guy.

 

[Mikawa Ossan]

I can accept the idea that I don't have a monopoly in knowledge or understanding in this world, so although the whole idea of transgender doesn't make sense to me personally, I can accept the possibility that there may be something real to it. However, surely a penis is a penis.

Saying that you're a woman but having a penis is certainly contradicting, but trying to rationalize it by calling it a 'girlpenis' seems insincere to me. If you have the hardware of a given gender but for whatever reason identify with the other gender, it doesn't change what the hardware is called.

I believe in being polite and respectful of people, but I don't understand the need for everyone to be "special" and deserve their own vocabulary.

I think the term "girl penis" is to refer to the fact that Thor is taking homone therepy. So his body is becoming like a woman, but since Thor has not gone through gender sugery to change genitals the penis is still there. Hence "girl penis" I guess. I don't know it might be a thing that Thor made up to feel comfortable with where they are in the whole process. It confuses the hell out of me, but as I will never personally have to worry about it I don't give it much thought.

 

[Mike Cash]

I fully support anyone in being whatever gender they want to be or believe they were meant to be and doing pretty much whatever they want to do with their sexual equipment and urges (with the usual "with consenting adults" caveat, of course). None of my business....whatever floats your boat, more power to you.

I don't understand why I have to hear about it or why they cluster together giving the impression that they make it a central theme of their existence, but that's neither here nor there.

What I object to and where I insist on being allowed full expression of my curmudgeonly nature is when it comes to screwing around with the language. "Girlpenis" is just a bit too much to ask me to accept. Ask me to accept that GID is real....okay. Ask me to accept that hormones and/or surgery actually change one's gender....okay, I won't kick about that either. I don't agree with it, but I won't kick about it. Ask me to support post-op gender reassignment folks having free access to the public restrooms of their new gender....okay. But asking me to accept a term like "girlpenis" is just one toke over the line, as the song says.

 

[Nuala]

Your identity isn't a central theme to your existence? Correct me if I am wrong but we are vocal because there are many people who go through hell because of this. I have gone through hell because of this, Mike Cash. We are vocal because we raise awareness. Without awareness? Homosexuality would still be a mental disorder in the DSM. Gender dysphoria would still be a mental disorder. Without awareness and screaming at jerks who would refer to a woman with masculine pronouns, where would we get? Am I to live quietly for your comfort?

Nope, that just isn't going to happen. And no, I am a girl with a penis. The term girlpenis is just humorously thrown around in the transgender community to differentiate ours from a guy's penis. They are two different beasts entirely. I am amused you are getting so up in arms over it though. I guess that just goes to show me where you're at with all of this, Mike Cash. Haha, here's the cool thing: A woman is still a woman if she has a penis. A man is still a man if he has a vagina. No, trans men do not call their vaginas anything along the lines of "manhole"(THAT'S A JOKE FOR Y'ALL, TAKE IT). And trans women don't call their penises a girlpenis much at all. It's just a thing that a group of people I run around with say. It amuses us. You don't have to accept that exact word.

But I would appreciate y'all respecting my gender identity. I am a woman. It says so on my driver's license, birth certificate, and so on. Please use feminine pronouns when referring to me. Thanks in advance, you've all been totes sweet. <3

 

[Mark of Zorro]

Its not a girl penis!

Its a clitoris, a massive clitoris!

I don't want to make fun of Thor at all. But that opening post! Getting on my good side definitely is aided by starting off with some sanity.

 

[Mike Cash]

Nice job ignoring what isn't conducive to your pouting little rant, Thor. Going through life with a chip on your shoulder looking for something to get mad about isn't going to result in much peace, but I suppose it does feed your insatiable appetite for drama.

Mike Cash, if you can take anything away from my latest post, it would be to please respect my gender. I am a woman. Please refer to me with feminine pronouns. Don't be the troll you usually are about this. You do yourself a disservice. I did not even need to ask again you again to use female pronouns with me because you are sure as hell smarter than that. What is different to you is not wrong. What is different to you is normal to me, as this is my life. Please don't spit on it. I've known you for 8 years. It hurts to be so disrespected by you.

 

[Mike Cash]

It was unconscious, I assure you. I had to go back up the thread to even figure out where you were talking about, since my last post contained no pronouns.

Tell you what....you get your penis cut off and I'll make a concerted effort to use feminine pronouns when referring to you.

 

[RolandtheHeadless]

Thor, perhaps it would help if you change your forum name to a female Nordic deity.

I'm willing to respect your gender preference, but really, I don't talk about my own penis here, and don't care to hear about someone else's.

I offered to answer questions and did, that's all the talk there was about it. I was thinking more along the lines of less sexual things than my bits down there. See, this is actually a common occurrence in the trans community. People who are transitioning or make it known that they are? They are asked for private medication information, such as the status of their bits down there. Which is actually horrendously rude, but I was trying to be cool about it and joke around, but not with, Mr. "Mutilate yourself and I'll respect your gender identity" over there.

What is the matter with you, Mike Cash? Jesus Christ. What is the matter with you? Do you know how horrible it is for you to say that to me? There are people born much earlier than you who are more accepting of trans people, so I can't simply write off how horrifically ignorant you're being about this as nothing more than being a product of your time. So a woman wants to be your friend, but you know she has a vagina, would you not respect that boundary and view her as an object of your sexual desires despite her adamantly stating that she wants to be your friend?

Would you demand she mutilate her genitalia so it's impossible for you to act upon your biologic initiative before you would respect her simply wanting to be friends? There is LITTLE DIFFERENCE between you respecting my gender identity and respecting a lady's desire to simply be friends with you. You respect them or you don't, and clearly since you've invoked(even if it's jokingly) that you wouldn't until I underwent a risky, and expensive surgery to make myself more congruent to your backwards opinion on the matter, there is little more for me to say to you. You crossed the line and I am not humoring your idiocy past this point.

Boys have penises. Girls have vaginas. Pick which team you want to play for and wear the uniform.
