It is the fundamental trans dilemma - how can I be womanly given that I’m a bloke? His mistake is to think it only applies during sex.

[Klaus]

But what does it even mean to be "womanly"? Is that just a set of stereotypes about women? Does this mean that women who don't fit to the stereotypes are not women?

[jon-nyc]

You’ve touched on one of the core contradictions of trans activism. Anyone can be a woman despite parts and presentation yet people need expensive medical intervention to align their bodies with their preferred gender.

[Klaus]

What you describe is the physical part of that contradiction.

I was talking about the behavioral part.

I wonder what a gynecologist does when one of these freaks show up.

It’s commonly referred to as womanface (homage to blackface) when a guy presents as a woman, and particularly presents as the worst stereotypes.

Good question. My first thought was refer that person to a psychiatrist. But after giving it some more thought, I’m not at all sure. Perhaps a neuroscientist for study?

Perhaps a referral would be in order.
