Spike - what would happen if someone dressed up like a crossdressing female (that is, dressed as male), but was actually male?   Will they have people strip to qualify as the gender they claim?  bill w

 

I don’t know.  Interesting question however: we already have transgender women in the women’s locker room, as we anticipated years ago.  But we haven’t (as far as I know) had an XX with all that marvelous XX equipment claiming to be transgender and showing up in the men’s shower.  Somehow I just don’t think that would upset the men nearly as much as it does the women.  I don’t think they would mind at all.  She wouldn’t bother me a bit.  Depending of course on how one defines “bother.”

 

I have long wondered what would happen if a drag queen was actually female, as in Victor Victoria.  Would that be considered fraud?  And what if… an actual XX chose to compete in men’s chess.  Oh wait, that has happened, Judit Polgar.  She made it up to about #8 in the world as I recall.

 

In any case, this is one of those where I have no dog in this fight.  I am so boring in the whole gender struggle department, if they made a porno movie about me, they would call it Two Shades of Gray (Black and White.)  It would be a really short boring movie I fear.  Low cost to make and all that, but… probably not a big money maker in the porno/comedy genre.

I just heard that the International Chess Federation (FIDE) is banning transgender women from competing in women’s chess.  Scandal!

 

Just when I think this old world has achieved peak silliness, we seem to discover new pinnacles of silliness.  

 

This might have a downside however.
