That second newsbyte really irritated me. CBC‘s guffaw I can excuse since we Canadians are so fucking spineless and polite that we allowed “Wax-my-nuts-Yaniv” to air her grievances as “human rights violations” (barf). That Brazilian piece though, yikes. The idea that 99% of trans people are so passing that you’d never suspect in a million years that they’re not the sex they were born as is the richest of fiction; this is the stuff transbians fap to in their fanfic circles. Get a fucking grip. No one is going to start making out with a transperson and suddenly find themselves aghast that the penis or vagina is missing. The preponderance of trans people do not pass flawlessly as persons of their ideal gender, and here is where the compulsion that we pretend otherwise continues to stretch the limits of common courtesy and belief.
