What I want…
Is to understand why it is that Lucy/Richard from last night’s BBC 3 program thinks that being a woman is all about not wanting to do sports, wanting to put make-up on, have enormous breasts and not get stretchmarks. It confuses me. I wasted an hour watching that program. Ilearned nothing useful about the psychology of MTF trans. However, I learned that having “A” cup breasts is pointless, because they are just “fuck all”. Enlightening.
This is where I get really confused. So many people insist that ts is not about reinforcing gender roles. Then you see something like this.
OTOH, I wonder if it’s just like someone trying to learn about feminism and seeing nothing but ultra-feminine women portrayed-maybe it’s only a tiny sample of the people out there.
I don’t know. I hoped that the show would get to some of those issues. It’s such a contentious issue and it’s so hard to get into any real and sensitive discussion about it. Somebody always gets hurt or upset or annoyed. I despair.
