Dear Mr. Rankine,
Isn't it interesting to have lived long enough to see such remarkable changes?
The difficulty arises when legislators wish to enshrine the rights of one group
at the expense of another. Currently, Bill C-16 (just finished a round of
testimony and questions in the senate standing committee on legal and judicial
affairs, is an example) The language of the bill is imprecise rendering the
Bill incoherent.
It will likely pass anyway.
Cordially

Dear Mags Lucas,

I don't really know what transgenderism or transracialism are...or is it,
is... I neither accept or reject any of them, and there is no must about it.
Each to his or her own. Physical sexual attributes and actions, and mental
sexual drives, instincts, habits, tendencies, irresistible impulses, or
learned behaviour, can be produced or influenced by the genes or by society
or by the environment in which they live, or a mixture of all and from what I
have seen, they don't necessarily correspond or have to correspond with one's
sexuality. It is generally left up to the individual to control these urges
as best as possible, apart from children, who have to be taught or to learn
about how to control them; and the consequences levied by society or the
culture, tend to enforce the limits of the aberrant behaviour.
The onset of puberty too, can bring about change of sexuality and attributes
and gender. Human beings are capable of all of them and putting them into
action. Pure man, if there is such a thing, is at one extreme, pure woman is
at the other. In between that lies a whole continuum which I would call
normal... The range of human sexual behaviours and responses is very wide
and encompasses many different behaviours, from copulation to fondling to the
use of violence or sadistic and masochistic behaviours, or just talking in a
certain way, acting in a certain way, or kindling and developing fantasies. I
believe that it is only human beings that can become sexually aroused through
fantasies or thinking about it, and not animals, but I could be wrong. These
behaviours can also be culturally defined.
Encouragement in World War 2 by Stalin to his officers to turn a blind eye
to the rape of German women by Soviet soldiers, was a common theme both in
retaliation for what the German soldiers did to their people and to teach the
German women a lesson. War makes uncivilised behaviour lawful and moral.
The spoils belong to the victors. Most wars are like that, any decency and
morality or respect goes out the window. In Vietnam, the CIA became the
biggest creators, distributors and sellers of drugs in the world. When the
war ended, many Vietnam vets and their families and ordinary US citizens
suffered the consequences, and American society finished up with a huge drug
problem. World War 1 it happened too, rum and punch. World War 2, Churchill
was surprised at the speed at which the Panzers mounted the Blitzkrieg. It
was discovered that the German Army, particularly the tank drivers were high
on stimulants which kept them awake for days.
I noticed, when I went to Scotland in the 1990s, to visit my father in
hospital, that there was a great debate going on about a man who wished to
have his leg amputated, for no other reason that he didn't like it being
attached to his body. It was functioning perfectly. He hated his leg. A
surgeon at the infirmary was prepared to do the operation, but the management
didn't want to allow it, not even if the man was prepared to pay for it.
Some people with this...I don't quite know how to describe it...overwhelming
feeling, get it so bad that they do it themselves and self injure, or even
threaten to kill themselves, the compulsion is so great. It is right or
wrong, do people have the right to do what they want with their own bodies?
I don't know, and I don't know if right comes into it, but people can kill
themselves and do so. Would it be against the Hippocratic oath to conduct
such an operation? I don't know...but it got done anyway.

I watched a programme once about a tribe of indigenous people who lived in
Yurts in Mongolia. Two things I noticed, one was that for some reason, some
boys were put through a gender change by their mothers, by being dressed in
girls clothes. The mothers wouldn't talk about why they did it. The other
thing was that when the film camera people came to interview the mothers and
children in the Yurts, if the boy children played up, became naughty, the
mothers would fondle their penises which immediately calmed them down. I
noticed it, but the film people didn't, or didn't say anything about it. The
consequences of such behaviour in our society is abhorred and condemned and
the legal penalties for it are very serious.
There was another case in the South Seas, Pitcairn Island, which made the
headlines...

Some people get a sexual kick out of mass rape or sexual torture. It
happens in both sexes and genders. Some folks get a kick out of watching it.
The World Wide Web was funded on such and similar sexual fantasies, way back
in the 1980's. Some folks had telephone bills of £300 a month because their
telephone kept kicking them out and they had to pay all over again to get
back to where they were. The ISP's made a packet out of the practice, as did
the telephone companies and the porn industry. In fact if it hadn't been for
the huge income derived from it, the internet would look no where near as
developed as it is now. I believe it was mostly men too, who watched the
stuff, and it catered for all sorts of sexual flavours and tastes...still
does.
If one presents oneself as something which one is not, and it gets
discovered, there are generally consequences. When people are deceived it
makes them feel victimised, bad, hurt, inadequate and stupid and they often
want to retaliate in some way. I have watched television programmes where
male transvestites have deceived other men who were presumably heterosexual,
into thinking that they were female. When the heterosexual male found out
that he had been deceived, and how he found out, it produced an emotional
response which was just as unpleasant, if not more so, than the deceptive
behaviour; often driving the heterosexual to violence. I dare say that a
woman and a man in the same circumstances, but the opposite way round would
have the same feelings.
The art and science of deception is not only prolific in nature, but endemic,
and not only pertains to spies and governments, but also to men and women,
throughout history and there have been many occasions when in the
presentation of one's credentials, whether it be aggrandisement of some kind
in the name of love; money, a home, a nest, or great sexual prowess promised
by either party, the remarkable rocket has turned out to be nothing more than
a damp squib.
I remember once, way back in the 1960s reading a book by an anglo-saxon
Catholic Priest who spent a lot of time darkening his skin, dying his hair
and curling it, and studying behaviours of the target Africo-American
community and went to live there with them for a while, to find out what
changes occurred in attitudes towards him from his own community. Very
interesting it was too. There has been a number of experiments carried out by
anglo-saxons in the US. However, I have been unable to find any
Afro-Americans who have decided to become anglo-saxon, by lightening their
skin and straightening their hair and see how the Afro-American community
treats them when it comes to getting jobs, promotion, education or equal
opportunities...
I hope this helps to clear the matter up a little, though I must say I still
don't understand what transracialism or transgenderism is and how the
argument is sound....?

P.S. What is the difference between a subject and an object? Just a
thought...:-)

Hi mr rankine, The logic of her premise is sound don't you think? We must
either accept both transgenderism and transracialism, or neither of them,
since they both depend on subjectivity, inner feelings and so on.

Hi Mags,
I don't know what is sound about the argument...perhaps you could elicit it
more for me, so that I can understand and become enlightened.
A number of years ago, when my wife and I were living on the Isle of Wight,
a little island off the South Coast of England, we used to do a lot of
walking. One of our favourite walks was a circular one from our home up to
Culver Down and then down the Coastal Path and then along the beach to
Sandown, a local holiday resort, before returning to our home.
One day, about 10 years ago, on a Sunday afternoon, we had just had a
picnic lunch on Culver Down, and were returning along the Coastal Path
admiring the views. It was a sunny day, in early summer, not too warm, not
too cold. There was a lovely blue sky, with a light wind and the white
clouds were scudding across the blue sky, changing shapes...as they do. As
we meandered along we saw an object in the distance, sticking out of the
coastal heather, and on coming closer, we perceived that it was an elderly
woman, in her 60's or early 70's with silver curly hair, lying flat on her
back, perfectly still, wearing a long coat, nylons and black brogue shoes.
As we approached, we both stopped talking and just stared and, as we passed
by, we fell silent, though we both looked closely to make sure that she was
OK, and decided to ignore her as we didn't want to disturb her. We could
see that she was breathing, but she had her eyes closed, and her skin
colour looked OK...so we decided to walk on.
We got about a further 10 yards, when we both stopped and I said to me
missus, I think we should go back and check that the lady is alright, and
my wife felt exactly the same thing. Other people had passed her in the
meantime and they had all stared, but ignored her. We returned to her
and I went close to her and asked her if she was feeling OK. At first, she
ignored me, so I asked her a bit louder, watching her breathing and her
face and body for any signs of life, then she opened her eyes and responded
to me and sat up. She sat up, thanked us very much for checking up on her
and said that she had decided to have a sleep, as she often gets tired
whilst she is out walking, and then lay back down again and closed her
eyes. Me missus and I proceeded on our way.
Of course, this stimulated a whole lot of musings and discussion between me
missus and I, as I am sure you can imagine. All sorts of questions went
through our minds. After all, it was a strange situation, it was a strange
thing to do, what were her motives, was she really sleeping, was she really
tired, or was she just enjoying the moment and meditating with the blue sky
and white clouds, and green and purple and white heather as her
composition? Or was she playing a game with the passers by? Was she
seeking attention? Was she conducting an experiment, to find out what
people would respond to her situation and how they would respond, or how
many would respond? Was she checking out people's curiosity and had a
little curiosity meter secreted in her overcoat? We never found out.
We never saw her again, but we have often thought back to that day. And
another strange thing, and you can believe this or not, but the next time
we went that way, it was a showery day, and as we passed close by to that
spot where the lady had lain down, the sun came out and the most beautiful
rainbow appeared, and came close to us to almost the point at which we
could touch it.

P.S. And no, I didn't find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...and
did you know that rainbows are actually composed of more than 7 colours?
The 7 is a throwback to Newton who did a lot of work with light refraction
and a lot of work on religion, and it took 7 days to make the world.
P.P.S. The scientists reckon, that cats cannot see a rainbow, because the
structure of their eyes are very different from us human beings. Be that
as it may, do rainbows really exist or are they a figment of our
imagination?
