McNally presents as female and doesn't claim to be trans; and there was no defense used in the original case or in the appeal that involved her claiming to be a trans male. The legal upshot of this is that McNally ended up pleading guilty to six counts of sexual assault by penetration. Upon appeal her prison sentence was reduced. That is the case here.<br /><br />As per his usual grasp at anything "arguments" to get attention, BS tries to make it sound like real people are all in trouble because some dyke got caught deceiving a young girl.<br /><br />And this has what to do with trannies claiming that we are the separatists?<br /><br />Get a grip BSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944795231126319421.post-73279679972051941582013-07-12T17:30:30.746-04:002013-07-12T17:30:30.746-04:00Black Swan, on one point I would agree with you th...Black Swan, on one point I would agree with you that this case sets a dangerous precedent. But is not the precedent that you imagine it sets. The real precedent here will be that consensual sexual activity can be deemed to have lost consensus when one of the partners deviates from an assumed norm either in physical appearance or disfigurement (for instance a huge scar etc. ). This is the main reason why this particular decision will soon be distinguished out of existence. It is that narrow in scope.<br /><br />I have no concerns over the people quoted. Why would I? Do I prescribe to their views? Probably not, but hey it's a free country is it not.<br /><br />The central point is what Elizabeth said. If you are transsexual and suffer from the physical birth defect of having been born with a reproductive configuration that does not match your brain, then prior to surgery if you present as your target sex you have no choice but to disclose or you refrain from sex and after surgery there is no deception.<br /><br />Is that not why non-ops are guys in dresses or girls in suits?<br /><br />Kathryn Dumkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054997856180869508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-944795231126319421.post-16069289350693593272013-07-12T11:03:35.522-04:002013-07-12T11:03:35.522-04:00Sorry BS this has no relevance to legitimate TS.

Like minded souls who reject the usurpation become targets of tg gestapo.<br /><br />FWIW, the meaning of "tranny" seems to vary by time, place and who used it. Back in my day, women of trannsexual experience I knew used it to refer to themselves. I've since heard it used with other meanings.

I'm consistently embarrassed and disgusted by the public actions of those in the transgender community that claim to speak on my behalf. Their "help" is counterproductive and pig-headed. They don't care about triggering women who may have been victimized in the past and may not want to be "educated" about a penis being female genitalia.
