But we'll see.
Good post, even if I'm missing some of the context. Mind sharing where this has come up on this board?
A bit of honesty - A very few make me slightly uncomfortable. Less the idea, and more of a practical "oops - this switch just didn't work very well, I can tell from the bone structure and weight distribution and it's way too obvious" kinda thing. Bottom line - If they are convincing as women, I think of them as women. At least at visually and at first glance. I know, I know - it's a superficial thing. And I don't really know enough to make a judgment call. There's the ideal of non-prejudice, and then there's living up to it.
Pretty good post, calling the Olberdouche out on that. (Though she's wrong on at least one point. The whole "the racism of the tea party movement" meme. But I think I'll post on that elsewhere as I don't want to derail discussion of the main topic, which is worthwhile.)
