- Imagine this - seriously, close your eyes and imagine
the following. Your at work and the boss introduces you to a new employee
named Jeff. The odd thing is, the boss introduces Jeff to you as a Hippopotamus,
and acts as if there isn't anything even slightly unusual about this introduction.
Jeff smiles and tells you that he's happy to meet you and invites you over
to dinner to meet his bull [Male Hippopotamus] and his calves [baby Hippopotamuses].
-
- How would you respond? Seriously, how would you respond,
would you think Jeff and the boss absolutely insane? Would you really?
Here you have a man that introduces another man to you as a Hippopotamus
- he does so as if there isn't anything slightly unusual about this arrangement,
in fact, he insists that you refer to Jeff as a Hippopotamus and if you
don't, he'll view you as intolerant and will probably fire you. Jeff himself
indicates that if you don't refer to him as a Hippopotamus it'll hurt his
feelings - after all he fervently believes he's an aquatic mammal. But
it doesn't end there, imagine too that Jeff and the boss expect you to
refer to Jeff as a Hippopotamus even in Jeff's absence, when he isn't present
- they expect you to refer to him as a Hippo when speaking about him with
your co-workers. Sound strange? Not really.
-
- Many fools embrace this insanity on a daily basis and
don't think for a moment that employers aren't involved also - in fact
they are the primary cause of the problem. If a "transsexual"
works with you, you can bet your last dollar that above mentioned insanity
is practiced at your workplace. A human born a male cannot ever become
a female - it is just as impossible as a man "becoming" a Hippopotamus
period! A human being born without a womb, without fallopian tubes and
ovaries is a male. A human being born with a penis and testicles is a male.
You can do whatever you like, you can mutilate the human body in any manner
you choose, you cannot "give" a man a womb, and ovaries anymore
than you can "give" a woman a working penis and testicles.
-
- What I am saying here is simple - if you work with a
transsexual and refer to him as a her or he as a she, or refer to her as
a him or she as a he, you aren't hip, you aren't cool, you aren't "tolerant,"
you are mentally ill. There is no difference whatsoever in referring to
a man as a woman or referring to a human being as a Hippopotamus - none
whatsoever!

- I had the opportunity to work with such a person a couple
of years ago, when I was first introduced to "Diane," I thought
my employer had made a mistake concerning his name, because the man was
so obviously male that it would have been impossible, or so I thought,
to believe otherwise. The only thing "feminine" about "Diane,"
was the relatively generous amount of breast tissue he sported, something
not altogether unusual in some males, especially in this day and age -
other than that he looked about as female as Clint Eastwood.
-
- As time went by, I mentioned "Diane" [I only
refer to him as Diane, because I never learned his real name] to some of
my co-workers and to my chagrin, complete disgust would be a more apt term,
I discovered that more than 90% of them believed him to be a woman. At
first I couldn't believe it, I thought they were just "playing"
the "tolerance." game, but sure enough, the fools actually believed
that "Diane," was a woman.

- I asked them to explain his adams apple, I asked them
to explain his five o'clock shadow, I asked them to explain how the hell
they could ever believe that a woman could be so damned ugly in a masculine
kind of way. I questioned their sanity. They were incensed, they couldn't
believe that I could be so insensitive as to refer to "Diane,"
as a male, even is he, err I mean she is a male, what difference does it
make, doesn't he have the right to be who he wants to believe, blah, blah,
blah. NO! "Diane" does not have the right to be who he wants
to be if I am expected to play along - "Diane," can go home and
play a Hippopotamus for all I care, but I will not play a role in this
insane charade, he, nor my employer has a right to expect me to engage
in their delusional beliefs either - if they choose to embrace absolute
insanity that's their business, but I will not go along - I AM NOT CRAZY!

- Wake up America, you are being lied to.
