Regarding a subservient lifestyle, perhaps I used the wrong word. I tried to indicate that I meant less macho or domineering. I sure as hell don’t want my daughters to feel that they are subservient in any way, and I will never be a subservient person. I guess what I was trying to say that I have witnessed trans people trying to become sweet, demure, weak people to avoid the somewhat typical view that a strong confident woman is a bitch and butch. I hope you understand. I have friends that try hard to be quiet vulnerable females but it just doesn't work for them. Their inherent personality shines through in the long run. I have others friends that suddenly don’t know how to use an adjustable wrench, or they are suddenly afraid of spiders, or they pretend that they don’t know how to check the oil level in an engine, and so on. It’s clear to me that there is some role playing going on there…..and that really irritates me!!
