This should be my shortest post so far, but I just had to write about this. I just read on CNN that the Miss Universe pageant will no longer ban transsexual competitors.

Hey I am all for women's rights and all but then again this is not a woman is 'it'? 'Its' a plastic surgery freak. Can you imagine that the supposedly most beautiful woman in the world is not actually a woman? But leaving the 'reassignment' part aside, 'its' not that different from the other competitors is 'it'? All other competitors are surgically and cosmetically enhanced too.
This brings me to the topic of transgender. I am generally liberal in my views and support most freaks and geeks (like gay people, I mean whatever makes you happy right?) but this is something I can't stand. Also I should say that don't have problems with gay people as long as they aren't all in your face about it. My friend was once telling me how a girl (who was lesbian) compared the discrimination against gay people to the discrimination faced by blacks in the recent past. This is beyond in your face. That is an outright wrong comparison. But then again I am assuming not all gay and transsexual people are like that.
What I have a problem is that when gay or transsexual people want everyone to just overlook the fact that they are different. Its like wanting people not to notice that Obama is black. I mean you see it right in front of you. You can't not see it. I am straight, I am going to be naturally creeped out if I feel a guy who is gay is hitting on me or even being 'overly gay' around me. I am sorry gay people, I can't help it. And I am not just saying this.
There is this incident that happened at the cue club bar I go to almost every weekend (FYI, I love playing pool). I was with my friend and we were minding out own business playing some good games. Then some 'girls' started playing on the table next to us. Which is fine because they were playing and keeping to their own. Still I couldn't help noticing that their Adam's apples were bigger than mine and their voices were not unlike Howlin' Wolf (i.e deep and raspy). Nevertheless, we ignored them until they stopped playing and started sitting on the pool table and laughing deeply and loudly. Now I don't want to go into more detail but I can tell you their behavior was enough to start thinking about ending my favorite game quickly and get the hell out. See now this is what I am talking about. Fine you used to be guys and now your 'girls', but can't you just behave like other girls do. Also unlike in the case real girls, no one wants to see up your skirt, so don't raise your legs up in public places.
How can you be expected to be seen as normal if you behave in a loud and brash manner? If you make a spectacle of yourself and be generally unpleasant, people are not going to like it even if you are normal. You want society to accept you? Then try to behave like normal people do and keep your sexuality in the bedroom.
