HI GALS, ON DEC.27, I WAS VISITING MY DAUGHTER AT THE MEDICAL CENTER WHERE SHE WORKS.MY DAUGHTER & I WERE IN A CORRIDOR TALKING,BUT SINCE MY DAUGHTER KNOWS WHO I AM I WASN'T USING MY BEST "LADIES VOICE".A PATIENT  WITH BRAIN DAMAGE OVERHEARD ME & DECIDED I WAS A man IN A DRESS & SHOVED ME INTO THE WALL,SCREAMING THAT I WAS A "FAG".. SECURITY GRABBED HIM QUICKLY AND WHISKED HIM AWAY.AFTER A ROUND OF APOLOGIES FROM STAFF MEMBERS I LEFT. ON THINKING ABOUT THIS LATER,SUPPOSE SOME ONE WAS VISITING AND HAD "AUNT MARY" WITH THEM AN OLDER HAGGARD WOMAN WITH A MOUSTACHE AND SEMI-GRAVELY VOICE WOULD THIS GUY HAVE SHOVED HER TOO?? IT'S REALLY SCARY EVEN TO THINK ABOUT.   STILL WONDERING...PHYLISS  P.S LAURENATALIA THE TERM "GENETIC" WOMAN APPLIES TO US ALSO AS OUR GENES ARE PROGRAMED TO BE FEMALE.THE CURRENT MEDICAL WORD USED HERE IS "NATAL FEMALE"

Hi girls

Sometimes looking at people you find someone, who, according to you, doesn´t pass. It´s embarrashing to notice afterwards that it WAS a lady after all.
I have heard that in my country some genetic women have been attacked by men, who think they are trannies. Just because they look like trannies.
So, does this pass-or-not-pass business have any sense at all? I just ask...

hugs

Laura

I once met a 23 year old G.F. who was almost 6 feet tall and had a voice that sounded like a man`s.

Hi

I guess natal is ok, I have it already in my name...

Laura

I don't know about natal female. If I referred to one of my ex-girlfriends using that term, she'd probably punch me out and ask questions later. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/fashionlab/Images/Smileys/Laugh01.gif

I'm sticking with genetic female, just to be on the safe side. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/fashionlab/Images/Smileys/Wink01.gif

Frightening thought indeed!

And then,just when I believed I was getting the terminology sorted out...
