[...] yes, the old “man dressed like a woman” meme. i’m inclined to call them out on nexy’s law for that one. Stewart also apparently had undergone surgery to give him larger breasts and other [...]

Felix, I see what you did there.

Nexy, this is great and perfect and true. I could kiss your late-transitioning-yet-not-a-man-in-any-kind-of-clothes lips for saying it.

Sympathies about that Rose person though. She’s like a bad penny with an infinite roll of names.

Quite a few transpeople ARE men in dresses (sometimes). *Waits to see how long it takes for folk to figure that one out*.

to me, it’s not a matter of whether or not the persons in question are men in dresses. it’s using the phrase as an insult, meant to be the ultimate in insults. just like comparing any person or group to hilter or nazis is meant to be the ultimate insult, in the context of godwin’s law.

i believe we each can come to our own judgments and conclusions, about virtually anything in the world. and our judgments and conclusions are valid when we arrive at them honestly. i believe using insults in a discussion, however, weakens the insulter’s position, and will always provide reason to question the insulter’s motives. a legitimate position in a discussion should never require insults in the articulation of that position.

There are people who have lived the lives of men. There is no magic that will convert these people into women. They do look like men in dresses.

You can exit. But they are still men in dresses.

Nuh-huh. It’s not the same, no matter who utters it.

There’s “Hahaha!! You are a man in a dress!!” (Cartman)

Then, there’s “No, Douchebag, you’re the man in a dress!” (Kyle)

And then there’s “Aren’t we all men in a dress?” (Stan, with violins)

There’s a world of difference, between each and the people who use each.

Brilliant. I look forward to using this as a reference.
