It is this tenuous link between gender presentation and sexual orientation that causes the problems as evidenced by the amount of men who have issues with trans-women.<br /><br />Why would a man want top become a woman for heaven's sake? These men who complain on this subject are not transphobics. They are misogynists, and I would dearly love to see the kind of language used by O'Leary made a hate crime. In fact, over here in the UK, if he attempted to publish something so vicious and hate-filled, he would be turned down. I dearly hope an pray that the US clears its bigoted decks and puts a stop to the public degrading of other human beings in such an uneducated, immature and openly hostile manner. Even his so-called references are biased and lack objectivity.<br /><br />Thanks MgS for your keen critique and let's hope that everyone else who reads this can se through O'Leary's lies and suppositions just as easily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207011.post-73519927676356960642009-07-02T20:16:43.325-07:002009-07-02T20:16:43.325-07:00Excellent rebuttal.
