Strange and Annoying - Afternoon Edition

I mentioned in my blog post this morning that a thought had slipped my mind whilst writing the article. Well, I just remembered it and this actually has to be a list topper in strange and annoying behaviour.


Imagine, if you can, that you've just managed to overcome a whole boat load of fear. Fear of ridicule, fear of not being accepted as a female, fear of being publicly outed and humiliated, fear of your own personal safety; the list goes on. Dealing with that fear, you have then faced your friends with a thumping heart and another truck load of fear and you've come out to them. 


"That's wonderful!", they exclaim which lets you breathe a sigh of relief. Suddenly they want to tell you about their trip to some tranny filled location where they were expert tranny spotters. Here you are, trying to accept your body (and maybe on a path to change what can be changed) and your friends are telling you all about how they can spot the deficiencies in male-to-female trans girls. Maybe it's the size of the hands, maybe it's the adam's apple or maybe it's just some indescribable facial feature. That's really supposed to make you feel good and happy about yourself? That's really a supportive thing for a friend to be doing??


Even stranger is when trans-girls do it as they walk long the street. "She was trans", they might say of a passer by as if trans-spotting is a new game. If you like to be out and proud, then at least it would congruent with your beliefs, but most trans-girls seek anonymity and would like to blend in and so it's rather strange when they don't extend the same courtesy to other trans girls.  


Even more annoying is that trans-spotters always assume that they are right. How do they know that they haven't falsely accused a genetic girl with masculine features to be a trans-girl? There should be a rule for people engaging in trans-spotting. If you declare that you've spotted someone, you have to ask them and if you are wrong that person is allowed to slap and kick you. If you are right, then that person should be allowed to slap you anyway if they so desire. Additionally, if a trans-girl passes you and you don't spot her, she should be allowed to slap and kick you whilst shouting "Nyah Nyah! In your face!"


Actually, even though there a couple of people I would like to have slapped, I hope that game doesn't catch on...
