In reply to Jasmine.

RAPE: carnal knowledge of another WITHOUT consent. Therefore its NOT the same thing and never will be. Transwomen are women, there's no "make-believe". Its this kind of ignorant language that leads people to kill transwomen just walking down the road. Body dysmorphia is a deeply terrifying thing as is without the ignorance people fueling the flames. Doubt these people would cash their life savings (sometimes) to transition if it wasn't serious. Some don't even bother changing they just commit suicide. SEX and GENDER aren't the same thing, the former is in between your legs the latter is in between your ears. A penis (YOUR biological taxonomy which is NOT your choice) makes you a MALE not a MAN (socialized "role" that you learn). The sex/gender spectrum is NOT binary, otherwise there wouldn't be intersex people. I'm not pulling this out of my ass, its well-established genetic theory. Also, I'm wondering, how do you "trick" someone into having sex with you?
