wtfFull disclosure: This story is about four years old. But it may be my favorite story on this insane issue.
So at Wellesley College, a transgender student "Timothy" (used to be female) wanted to run for a seat on the student-government cabinet. By the way, Timothy "identifies" as a "masculine-of-center-genderqueer", which is a new one to me. Timothy wanted to be the Multicultural Affairs Coordinator.
Anyway, a group that "identifies" itself as "The Campaign to Abstain" strongly opposed Timothy's candidacy.
Why? Because Timothy was now a WHITE MALE.

Cool ironic story. Here's a related one I heard today on a local talk show that I listen to..
Huffington Post Guest Writer Cass Bliss Describes Male Periods
“Nonbinary trans menstruator” Cass Bliss took to the Huffington Post to write about the struggles with simultaneous acceptance of both one’s identity and having a period.
“I am a nonbinary trans menstruator ― someone with a uterus that bleeds monthly, but who identifies outside of the fixed categories of male and female,” Bliss wrote. “Because of that, I have to navigate the challenges of getting my period every month in a world that refuses to acknowledge that not everyone who gets their period is a woman, and not every woman gets their period.”
This question lingers as Bliss describes the “persistent gendered messages” of modern American society hitting like “thousands of metal slivers piercing through my skin.” According to Bliss, feminine hygiene products are marketed in a way that makes it intensely uncomfortable for someone who does not identify as a woman to purchase and use.
Bliss is regularly confronted by a dilemma:
Now that my appearance has tipped the scale toward masculine, I’ve found myself ushered out of a lot women’s bathrooms by moms with young daughters, as if I’m inherently dangerous or being trans is a disease they could catch from breathing in the same air as me. On the flip side, using the men’s restroom means that I have to pray that I’m not already leaking when I walk in there and figure out the best ways to keep myself safe while discreetly tending to my period.
Is is just me? Or does this not sound like a plan well thunked out? Non-binary Trans buyer's remorse? Or will he/she feel better in about a week about the choice?

That's where it gets worse - you have people sprinting to your defense and attacking anyone who dares to raise an eyebrow, coddling you, enabling all behaviors and organizing marches for you. Any human being is going to be affected by hysteria like that.wtfFull disclosure: This story is about four years old. But it may be my favorite story on this insane issue.

Neurotic may be a clue. Because if you can't weigh the consequences of choosing a gender and you're suddenly SURPRISED by the menstruation issue and want the whole world TO KNOW how hurtful it is to find out it FOLLOWED YOU into your new gender identity ---- Then you're probably constantly worrying about a lot less important and trivial things...
An absolutely delicious transparent stretch.
I made no generalizations, hasty or otherwise. I just reported what happened, whether you'll admit it or not.
Hey, we're just getting started on this stuff.
That's where it gets worse - you have people sprinting to your defense and attacking anyone who dares to raise an eyebrow, coddling you, enabling all behaviors and organizing marches for you. Any human being is going to be affected by hysteria like that.
That goes for more than gender issues. Race, for example.
