i guess anyone can be dragged into some zetigeist point of interest; and as anyone, here are my two-pence argument. so i'm listening to this "dicussion" - or what became a heated debate... firstly, since dialectics only works one-on-one between only two people, and is subsequently reduced to screaming and shouting if staged in a public place with interjections from flies and gnats who throw in their own two-pence worth of supporting either of the two people having a "discussion"... well... another thing about original dialectics, and modern dialectics? the mediator... in original dialectics there was no mediator, unless of course if you suppose socrates was the mediator, even so, that ancient mediator asked questions... the modern mediator? doesn't ask anything other than asking one speaker to not interrupt the other speaker... the topic of discussion i was listening to? transexuality... ****** confusing, something confusing was bugging me... why would i have to call a man a transwoman? shouldn't i be calling a man transman? otherwise i'll be confusing pronouns... or not using them "properly"... i just think that proper nouns are not being used... it's not for the man to identify himself as a transwoman... why? i'm the "cis" man who's supposed to identify the man, as a woman, and what happens then? the man retains his inner-trans conceptualisation i.e. i am beyond being a man, there i must show to cis men that i am... e.g.? i was "fooled" by blaire white, i thought she was a woman... and i still couldn't believe she wasn't when she did a video showing her pre-transition photographs... see!? what's this ******** about improper pronoun usage? what is happening is, AN IMPROPER NOUN usage, by the man, who is a transman within himself, but a woman to me, therefore i have no problem in finding her attractive; it would be easier to decide in Scotland, i know that... is a woman who internalised her transition and became a transwoman was wearing a kilt... and phoom! the garden of eden, and a river running though it, down the middle.

proper pronoun usage vs. improper noun usage
