I suffer from many things- And you've totally ignored my post reply to you
In the 83$million thread - Hmmmmmm
Well, I did not read your reply about transgender folks until now. I have almost nothing to add to this conversation because I feel we have talked this subject to death. Anyway, you answered your own questions. You clearly think more about what these folks do or don't do than I do. My guess is that I am more of a live and let live kind of person than you are. I don't know the two folks pictured and likely will never meet them. They can be whatever/whoever they choose to be. I could not care less.
My exposure to transgender folks is extremely limited. Decades ago, my wife and I went to the Darcelle XV drag show. Darcelle, who emceed the show was bawdy. My wife and I thought parts of the show were humorous and entertaining.
Darcelle (Walter Cole) was well liked and well thought of in Portland because he contributed greatly to Portland. In 2016 when Darcelle XV was almost 86 years old, he was recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest drag queen. He passed away in 2023.
One afternoon sometime in the early 2000's a trans person struck up a conversation with me at a Portland bar. Oddly enough we did not talk about them being trans. One thing I remember is they asked me if my teeth were false because they were so perfect and so white. When I said they were my real teeth, they did not believe me and reached over to pull on my front teeth which I thought was offensive. I declined their request.
