They asked. He told.

That takes balls.

He was hot in the commando role with the beard and all that. Asking and telling is okay in the British armed forces now as long as you are dignified about it, sir.

She is still a he physically. Nice reading comprehension, subby

Good for her.

he's not British anymore?

nashBridges: If you think you are born wrong then you should know it from birth and do something about it.

Right, because their parents and community would be really accepting about that 50-60 years ago.

(Though seriously, it's nice of you to be cool with people doing something about their gender dysphoria)

log_jammin: he's not British anymore?

Clearly she's French, and spending her days knitting white flags.

Now living as a woman, she says many soldiers opt for the macho life to suppress other urges.

"Special" forces? *snicker*

Yeah, well, nothing sucks worse than being born wrong.
That's like God not creating you right.

And that get's us into paradox, because God is infallable, so he had to have created you right.
So if you were born wrong, it was by choice right?

God is a myth.

Fig leaves, dude. Fig leaves.

God is a bearded gentleman who likes to masturbate to cartoon hamster porn whilst rubbing himself with gardening gloves. On a Sunday.

Wrong shade of lipstick for the army, I'm afraid.

Dammit, Janet!!!

considering this woman spent 13 years of her life as a commando, which is 14 more than most of you ITG's have spent even looking a firearm, much less operating one, I have but one thing to say about Miss McPherson

On a very literal level, she -had- more balls than any one of you will ever have.

Win.

But doing macho things and hanging out with guys and shooting stuff and being all tough and so on makes you into a man, right?

Any gun enthusiasts around here that can put a make on his rifle? It's kind of a bad picture.

I'm sure he/she/whatever could beat the absolutely bejeebus out of me, so good luck to him/her/whatever.

(First guess: Steyr AUG.)

Very cool! Good on her!
No snark here.

I for one would not tell him he could not do it... at least not to his face.

I'd sure as hell would like to be female, assuming there was some wondrous way to change everything since my birth until this day. but since there isnt, Im just gonna have to put up with being a guy for the rest of my life :G

definite no to all the cosmetic surgeries or any other bodily augmentations.

Meh. The link to the hot twins wearing fig leaves was the only good thing about that article.

You inadvertently bring up a very good point: why aren't there more stories about women becoming men? Does it happen lesslez?


sorry, pet peeve.

Which one is he, Gabriela or Monica?
/Or both?

Renounced citizenship?

"I can't take it orally, dear!"

Nick Nostril: Renounced citizenship?

To Planet Straight, yes.

There's nothing wrong w/that in a headline b/c it's, like, wtf? kthxbai!

nashBridges: You inadvertently bring up a very good point: why aren't there more stories about women becoming men? Does it happen less?

If it does happen less, is is because women in general are more welcoming than men to new members of the group?.

No, I have heard that it's about the same number. It just gets reported less because trans men are less "interesting" (in the daily mail and pornography sense of the word) to the media, apparently.

People wouldn't choose not to transition because they think other people won't be welcoming, or nobody would do it at all.

With a last name of McPherson, he never was.

As for the use of the word "uncanny," the pic was very un-uncanny wchich would seem to be the same as canny, but it's not canny either. Mundane, banal, unsurprising -- these are all adjectives that would have been accurate, but uncanny? The pic is uncanny only in the sense that the subject is sitting on a chair and not on the can; thus the pic is neither uncanny or canny.

Furthermpore, this greenlit headline is prime proof of why Fark mods should have term limits.

I've heard about this too. When a man dresses up like a woman its like, "Oh my god lets get a picture of this freak of nature because people love looking a men in dresses!" While women who dress like men are significantly less interesting to the newspaper buying public. You see women "trying to be men" all the time, though most of them aren't actually on the T. So its more covert then an old guy running around in a skirt.

I, on the other hand, love "self made men" as it were. They're most sexy, though their exaggerated masculinity can get on your nerves after a while. Personally I see gender as not being set in stone and you are whatever you feel you are. If you don't feel like a "woman" that also doesn't mean you have to act like a stereotypical "man" just to feel more like a "man", you just act how you normally would. Unfortunately, our society doesn't accept people who act outside of their designated gender roles so many people feel pressured into "passing" as their preferred gender in public, which means a lot of posturing and money.

Its an issue made more complicated than it has to be.

Hell, if someone could guarantee me unequivocally that I would be capable of filling out this outfit in a totally convincing manner, I'd change in a heartbeat and have this stupidest grin imaginable on my face every morning. Of course, I'd be broke from my clothes bill.

That'd be a barrel of fun...could you imagine what life could be like knowing what you know now and looking like this?

nashBridges: It's no big deal to me if you want to live as a woman, but know that other people will notice the same things I do. That's not a shortcoming on their part if they accept you. It's also not a shortcoming on their part if they notice the obvious. It just is.

Dont bother, we have been down this road with s/him before, jesus wasnt that just last week? Thats too many tranny threads for me, Im out of this flame war.
