Your right, but most airlines also if they saw a pregnant woman with a very large belly would accommodate her and let her board first also.

The "women and children" bit (at least in the movies) is for the first passengers off a sinking ship, not the first to board an airplane.

Actually,young woman who once called themselves butch now call themselves tranny bois, and these tranny bois people are mostly dating each other. Are “tranny bois” really bending genders when they don’t feel comfortable self-identifying as women in touch with their masculine side? Or is it reaffirming gender stereotypes to say that being butch means being a man?

Labels are a necessary part of life. People have a natural proclivity to categorize things by generalities. Just because a label shares certain traits with others of that label doesn't mean they share all traits. There is diversity among sameness, if you catch my drift. Labels are sometimes a chain that holds people down, but they are also a natural and, yes, simplistic means of describing persons, places, or things that are alike. It is actually the simplicity of labels that make them useful. A dog is a dog, but not all dogs are the same...We have to keep in mind that the same goes for any label we put on each other as well.

But I will wait to see what answers Thomas Beatie (the pregnant man) has for Barbara Walters tonight on "20/20."

He needs to know who next to vote rights away from.

and trannyboi properly refers to slightly, effeminate FtM persons, not butch dykes.

Why do you care, and what business is it of yours, what someone does with their body?

We care and it's our business if someone slashes their wrists or blows their brains out. I see this as somewhat comparable. Since the crazy bitch has had her breasts removed it's obvious that she won't be breast-feeding the child. Breast-feeding has been shown to boost an infant's immune system, so I'd call that child abuse. She (it, whatever) should be legally compelled to have an abortion forthwith.

Any woman who's had a titjob also can't breastfeed.

That's not true.

chopping off your tits and taking some hormones doesn't make you a male. until she can change her dna she will remain a female, regardless of how much she plays dress-up.

I don't see how a woman getting pregnant is news worthy.

I wouldn't pretend to understand what transsexuals have to deal with (and I'm assuming you don't know, either) but I'm pretty sure it is the result of more than simply a desire to "play dress-up."  That's what transvestites do.

You should get out more often.
