I can see why men don't find "transmen" as offensive as women find "transwomen" because women's biology plays such a huge role in our lives. For instance, our menstrual cycle alone affects our lives every month for around 40 years - that is, when we're not pregnant. But I still think it's the height of chutzpah to claim to be a different biological sex, as so many of them are claiming now.

I can guarantee that that "transman" has no idea what you feel as a man - how could she - from the time she was in the womb her very formation was different. Then add to that societal expectations that start at birth, and even if she thinks she feels like a man, what does that feel like?

And the idea that a woman can be a gay man is ludicrous. We don't have a penis. Gay men's sexuality is pretty much focused on the penis. It's really an affront for a woman to claim she should be allowed to enter the gay men's club - so perhaps now you understand how women feel when men enter our private spaces?

Except a gay "transman" still can't rape and impregnate a gay man, so even then, the comparison doesn't go far enough.

Yes, Pink News is not a friend to LGB - it's just incredible that all these former gay orgs, and all these powerful gays, were so willing to completely sell out the purpose of their being, which was the rights, health and happiness of people attracted to their own sex.
