For most people, you are a role. That's natural. But gender doesn't (shouldn't) really play into it, for the most part. If it does, then changing the perception changes the role, to whatever extent.

In some cases, that means you won't be able to fulfill that role anymore (for example, if you were someone's gigolo before, you won't be able to do that anymore.) Or another role will open up (if you get bottom surgery you can be a prostitute! ;P)

In other cases, expectations and personal relationships will need to shift around a bit, but ultimately you're still fulfilling the same role (offspring, peer, significant other, etc.).

In most cases, it doesn't (shouldn't) matter at all. To most people, you're effectively an ID number with a few physical and employable characteristics, and that's it.

Maybe I misunderstood what you're saying, but I don't think an ultimatum is quite optimal here. Yes, tit for tat and all that, but someone acting out of self-preservation, even as vapidly as your father, doesn't make them entirely worthless.

Genderbitch: In ur gender, revealing ur privilege

Hi.

This is a blog. About transsexuality, feminism, misogyny, transphobia, homophobia, GLBT stuff and etcetera (check my tags for more on that). This is also an angry blog.

You might see me as slightly antagonistic. Oh well. I incite because I am trying to push people into thinking, discussing and breaking out of the stagnant bullshit of privilege. Which needs a nice firm kick quite a bit. Sometimes to the head. If I need a nice firm kick too, make sure to distribute it because well, I'm not immune to privilege either. XD

Anonymous (account-less) commenting is allowed but please sign it with an alias or name. I reserve the right to delete useless trolling, hate language and attempts to out my name or out anyone else here.

Welcome to my space. Take your shoes off, stay a while. Use the fucking coasters.

~R.P.
