I've heard black people complain they've gotten chastised by other black people for not being "black" enough. The same is true for men and not being "manly" enough. If you cry then you're weak, and if you like pastels, rainbows, fancy/pretty things then you're gay. Not all men treat other men this way but there's a ton who do. In fact I wonder how "liberal" of an area she was in when she did this. Society changes so much from one area to the next because of local culture. As far as the strip club goes, that's why I don't go. All it is is a sexual function and I can rub one out at home and save money/not have to deal with fake people. I'm sure there's some golden stripper out there who's not on drugs and really is just in it for some college money. Finding her would probably be like trying to find a unicorn though. Really the best place to meet people is in real every day life like the supermarket, library, or ideally college. Anyway if they're not into it or are "faking" then I'm not into it. As far as women and men being friends, it's possible but usually extremely hard since one person likes the other more than the other person likes them. Oh yeah, and the rejection, FUCK rejection. I hate getting shot down in flames and feeling like shit. Happened just the other week (and I rarely open myself up) shit still hurts as I dwell on things forever it seems. No wonder men go nuts and start killing hookers. Everyone has the freedom to deny everyone, if it doesn't work out so be it. I just view it as their loss and move on. But yes, back to the main point of gender lives in the brain. Lots of trans folk kill themselves because of identity issues, especially after surgical alteration. The end was pretty telling on that point. Not everyone has a good support system or escape plan in place either and they have to live with an uncaring family/community/job, or even worse, be ostracized from one/all of those. It's even worse if they're not "passable" too. Also, this reminds me of the movie Just One of the Guys (although I haven't seen it in years and it's not actually an experement either): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H1_dzUYFMg

Feminist Pretends To Be Male.. And Learns Important lesson. I would really like anyone's perspective on this concept - the journey that she takes. If you can tolerate it, please watch the video all the way through to the end. This is a topic that concerns me deeply. For the males, did she get it right? --------------
