Transexual Conference Speakers Celebrate Confused Men Catcalling Them

Wait, isn't catcalling a sign of male aggression?

A recent conference on creating transgender-inclusive workplaces described the levels of "privilege" that some transgendered people experience. The conference delved deeply into various areas of the culture, but the part that jumps out is one attendees' description of the various tiers represented in the community:

I was fascinated to learn that there is a pecking order within transgender culture known as “privileged trans.” The first tier of a privileged transgender is someone wealthy enough to be able to afford the full gauntlet of surgeries to appear as a man or woman. Unprivileged transgenders must settle with cross-dressing and shaving. However, the highest level of privilege is someone who is both wealthy and already has certain physical attributes of the preferred sex, such as feminine facial features, a low voice, or broad shoulders.

Apparently, the best-case scenario for transgenders is being able to "pass" as the gender of their choice. They call it being in "stealth" and it's their ultimate goal. "When you’re in stealth, you no longer have to worry about being read, in which a stranger tries to figure out whether you’re a boy or a girl." The attendee described more:

They showed a video in which a construction worker ogled a transgender woman, with the transgender woman’s inner monologue being “Hey, maybe things are changing for the better.” I found it odd that something that is considered a micro-aggression in the feminist world is the zenith of compliments in the transgender world.

Very interesting point, indeed. And, come to think of it, why would people even feel the need to be 'transgendered' anyway, if gender is -- as liberals keep telling us -- an imaginary cultural construct?

Additionally, the conference speakers told "stories of penis amputations" and "breasts being bound or removed" to achieve their gender expectations. In an era that says that biological differences don't even really exists, the transgendered community's excessive actions seem to indicate otherwise.
