What is the nature of female rejection of TS's? Cases that I know
of are: the woman who stabbed the 7 yearr post op TS up in the North
Bay for not being feminine enough; The threats of violence and
vandalism against TS's at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival; and
a rule at the Ecstacy club also stating only "women-born-women".
Especially with the title of the Womyns's Music Fest, we see
evidence of rejection men with a dislike of the masculine. There
may be similar feelings at the all-woman safe-sex club.
Anyway, so what we have with TS's are beings that are drawn to
being feminine and repelled by the masculine so much (in themselves) that
they need to switch their physical sex. It would seem with such a
desire to escape "the masculine", TS's should be well accepted in women
only places. Not only are they then women -- but they are women by *choice*,
not by accident of birth.

We have not passed that subtle line between childhood and adulthood
until we move from the passive voice to the active voice -- that is,
until we have stopped saying, "It got lost," and say, "I lost it."
