-what's the sound of one hand clapping?
-if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?
-can you hit a ladyboy?
it's questions like these that keep me up at night. especially the last one. as we all know, men are not allowed to hit women. not even on vacation. but what about when the woman in question isn't really a woman? and what if she really deserves it?
there are no guidebooks that deal with the subject of ladyboys, no definitive source to turn to. actually, i'm willing to bet there is such a book, or several books even, but i'm not gonna waste my precious time looking for them. you'd think hitting women, or newly minted women wouldn't even be a concern, but oh, how wrong you are. some of these former guys are highly aggressive*, and have no intentions of taking no as an answer. they will grab you, grope you, or occasionally grab you and use your own hand to grope them, stirring even deeper philosophical debates internally. as far as i'm concerned, this kind of behavior is sexual harassment, and i don't have to take it. but if telling them "no" doesn't stop them, and walking away only means they'll follow you, what's a boy to do? a real boy, that is.
there are two different philosophies when it comes to ladyboys:
1. if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. even if the genetic code ain't on par, this is a bonafide, de-bonerfied girl.
2. all the penectomies, breast implants, adam's apple shavings and addavadge surguries in the world don't make you a woman. no monthly bleeding, no babies: you're still a guy, just one with emotional and physical baggage far deeper than any customized crotch.
some guys are totally into option #1, or at least consider it after being fooled on a drunken night out. others are fully convinced that they can't be fully convinced by masquerading masculinity.
i'm wondering what other people's opinions are on the situation. is it acceptable to hit a ladyboy? i only bring this up because a friend of a friend has actually faced this scenario. apparently, she woke up in the middle of the night to the sounds of the phony femme rifling through her luggage. while she was a bit restrained, her male friend became involved, and ended up hitting the thief. supposedly, the ladyboy mafia is now after them. yeah, really! wrong or right, that sight alone would be worth hitting a woman over.
feel free to add your own two cents on the subject.
thanks.

somewhat related -- i just read an article about a hetero couple where the man is actually an F to M transsexual. they're married, the marriage is recognized as legitimate, legally, but the really interesting part is that when the woman in the couple couldn't have a baby (fertility issues), the man decided to stop taking his testosterone & was impregnated (IVF). he'll obviously have to have a C-section as there's no place for the baby to come out naturally, but this is a dude recognized as a dude who's still got ladybits inside (even with the chest reconstruction surgery & reshaping of sex organs, etc). so. just thought i'd share.
ps, i think that gender is definitely fluid & while sex trends towards being more binary, even then there are obviously shades of grey. so, you know. whatever!
um, yes. hit it.
they did not wake up one morning and "poof" - become a chick. these things ASK to become girls. well, as you clearly said in the blog, no monthly bleeding.
see, the real reason you can not hit women is bcos they bleed once a month, guaranteed. and, possibly, will have a small person extracted from them. guys don't get any of this, so you we can be hit. to make up for it.
so, hit away my good man. especially if there is groping, or thievery. cos, no, you DONT have to take it!
Remember Julie Iler?
I have a much more difficult question that I am ashamed of asking:
If a hot ladyboy gives you a massage and you get turned on, are you gay?
