Ask Dick: What’s The Deal With Transexuals?
The following question was sent to me by a reader, darzie:
I have an Ask Dick question.
What’s the deal with gals who try to turn themselves into guys? Female to Male transsexuals is the term. Do they count as men?
Well, darzie, you certainly do have an Ask Dick question. Lucky for you, I have a Dick Answer.
Men are better than women at being transsexuals and also at being gay. It’s the same thing anyway.
Here’s an interesting set of scientific Man Facts proving my point. Proving points with science is manly. And gloating about it afterward? That’s so many Man Points you’ll need a Man Bag to carry them all to the Man Bank.
A recent study at the University of East London determined gay men use their brains like women, but also like men. Sex with women may not be a gay’s cup of tea, but apparently using their brains for more than a pillow weight is! Gay women, however (or as I like to call them, fake-biens), are unable to jump start their pudding-brains into any kind of man mode at all. Color me unsurprised.
“Gay men adopt male and female strategies. Therefore their brains are a sexual mosaic,” says a doctor who is probably a man. “As we expected, straight men used more compass directions than gay men or women, and used distances as well…but gay men recalled more landmarks than straight men, as well as using typically male orientation strategies.”
The study goes on to say that women, even when gay, are out of brain-gas before the garage of life is even open.
Men are better than women at directions and are therefore better than women at life. What’s more important in life than knowing where the fuck you are? You can probably think of something, but that’s only because you’re a man and men can do anything.
Women use landmarks when giving and following directions. Landmarks like, “Turn left where my husband yelled at me last week,” and, “Remember that coffee commercial in the 80’s with those whores reminiscing about ski trips and shit? I wish Starbucks sold Sex-achinos!”
Sex-achinos. That’s real fucking useful on the road. It’s also not a landmark and yet another account of charitable men bending the fuck over backwards to convince women they’re not completely useless.
A friend of mine has a favorite saying that’s appropriate here. “You can’t polish a turd.” I don’t know where he learned it, probably from another man. That’s how wisdom is passed down through the ages. One man tells a younger man who tells a younger man and so on. That’s how we have rocket ships and penicillin and not donkey carts and Syphilis — because of men. Women keep any wisdom they manage to scrape together locked up in their rusty minds like it’s their pin number. I guess grandmothers just love watching young women fuck up too much to every once in a while say, “Hey, sweetheart, shut the fuck up while men are talking. You’ll learn this in twenty years if you’re lucky, but you don’t actually know a goddamn thing. That’s for men to do.”
Female to Male transsexuals are not men. They’re just the same old bullshit with a new coat of paint. If you think that makes you a man, I’ve got a brand new Ferrari to sell you. I painted it on the side of a sack of shit.

this makes perfect man sense. i was at a bar once and there were these two ‘lesbians’ there with us…they made a huge stink because the one girl’s cosmopolitan “tasted too much like vodka.” It turned out to be a huge scene.
To sum it up, men are better than women, gay men included.

I was just gobsmacked by the accommodations we had to make to a (suddenly revealed to be) transexual contract employee. The individual in question wasn’t great and would never have been renewed, but we wound up with literally tens of thousands in lawyer’s bills in the hopes of avoiding a lawsuit, because of the state s/he’d been technically employed in.
#$)*)#$ lawyers. Sorry, Dick.
If a longstanding (at least 2 years, preferably 5+) employee had said “hey, I’m transexual… then, well, fine. I wouldn’t really understand it, but if we employed a person for 2+ years (let alone 5) it’d be because s/he was competent. We’d value that person as a person, not just an employee. Though I’d suspect s/he was crazy.
F—ing contractors who sense they’re about to be fired? #_)$*#$.
It’s probably a good thing I was no longer a vice-president of the corporation, and was merely sitting on the board.
Anyone who wants ‘his’(her?) meat and 2 veg chopped off because he is ‘transgendered’ is either very crazy or on the money. No one would go through that for fun. I just don’t honestly know which it is. Either way, they need help.

Haha … I’ll bet men are better than women at a lot of things:
- Peeing standing up
- Licking themselves (OK, maybe this is just male dogs)
- Armpit hair curling
- Poop chucking
- General grossness
Wow, after such a conclusive list, I guess I don’t even need to come up with a rebuttal for the ladies.

So much like a woman to resort to childish name-calling, even though she really wasn’t asked for a response in the first place. Way to set the standard for your gender.
Conclusive list. That’s funny. You sound like a little girl who just learned a new word, and doesn’t think everyone is tired of hearing her say it.

How interesting. Are you able to reveal the accommodations? Did the company have to provide another type of unisex restroom?
If the individual in question was originally a man, I don’t think the female employees would have had that difficult a time adjusting to occasionally seeing this person in their restroom, however, if the person was originally a woman (unlikely) I can imagine men wouldn’t have taken kindly to suddenly seeing this person at the urinal next to them. They’d know the person shouldn’t be standing directly next to them, but, how to explain this to a new member of the man club?
They’d also know that they shouldn’t be trying to get a look at the equipment on the new person next to them and that this would not only violate bathroom etiquette but possibly get them charged with harrassment, but some might feel they are entitled to a cursory glance in order to ascertain whether the person is as they say now say they are, and that they are therefore in the correct bathroom. You would think though that someone with a man-made appendage wouldn’t exactly be exhibiting it for curious onlookers and would probably use a cubicle.
Gawd, I can just imagine the mindfield of bathroom etiquette to be traversed in order to avoid the inevitable murderous rampage from occurring.

i think transsexual males, those who are female and then become male are actually sometoimes just as sexist as you guys.
then, how can you call them not worthy of being real men???
you are abviously lost in your gender divisions which you base upon who can identify, seperate and protect male privielge most firecely.

The greatest male privilege is the privilege of spelling correctly.
Leaving that remark aside, male privilege:
- to die years younger.
- to be much smarter, and harder working, but only earn 33% more.
- to be rooked on social security, getting $0.37 out for every dollar women get out.
- to be drafted
- to be the number one victims of violence
- the number 1 victims of gender violence
- yet endlessly falsely accused of rape and DV, especially in custody disputes
- to have the deck stacked totally against them in custody and family courts.
Yes… please tell me more of this male ‘privilege’.

@ Wolfe- You yourself admit that men are not “much smarter”, the average IQ difference is only 3-6 points. Also, a man and a woman with the same occupation will usually work as hard (because the nature of their work is the same), so there should be no pay difference. For males to earn 33% more is quite a difference (although I’m assuming that statistic refers to the average salary of men and women, not the average salary of men and women within the same occupation).
December 30th, 2006 at 4:18 pm - IP Man-Hash: 5fdb78f644952
@Alex: you’re conflating and confusing a distribution of intelligence with average intelligence differences. You are also, I believe, mistaken on one assumption, as follows.
No, most men and women with the same occupation don’t generally work equally hard at outside-the-home jobs, in terms of continuous full-time employment. Statisticians normalize for this, and the 33% difference drops to between 0 and 5% when you account number of years of full-time work.
(I make no comment as to which gender ‘works harder’ inside the home).
Women typically take time out for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is pregnancy and child rearing.
Beyond even that, just look at the sub-specialties that men and women go into even when they have nominally identical educations. Female med students disproportionately become GP’s, or, if the specialize, become (say) allergenists, dermatologists, rather than oncologists or cardiac surgeons.
Look at professionals who work unpaid overtime. Unless a woman is unmarried, she is unlikely to work anywhere near the overtime of her male colleagues.
[NB- Never-married women outearn never-married men. This is interesting, and suggests men who don't marry don't work as hard].
The former specialties offer much more predictable hours and far fewer emergencies.
—————-
As to intelligence, the average man is not that much smarter than the average woman; correct.
However, the standard deviation for men’s intellects appears to be substantially higher than that for women. To put it another way (I don’t know how familiar with statistics you are), there are far more highly intelligent men than there are highly intelligent women. (And presumably far more highly stupid men at the bottom end than there are highly stupid women).
Richard Lynn and Paul Irwing analyzed decades worth of standardized testing in British schools, and came up with this peer-reviewed conclusion:
[quote]There were twice as many men [as women] with IQ scores of 125, for example, a level said to correspond with people getting first-class degrees.
At scores of 155, associated with genius, there were 5.5 men for every woman. [/quote]
One obviously can argue about how generally applicable or accurate or culturally biased their study was. Fair enough. One can also argue about how relevant IQ’s are, though the US Armed Forces find them invaluable as a predictive tool, and most non-crazed Marxist studies have tended to conclude that there is validity, provided the test is sound. (Many, especially historically, weren’t).
Now. It is the nature of our society and capitalism to value and compensate high achievers much, much more highly than average or low achievers.
This may not be ‘fair’, especially in the sense that many start with ‘unfair’ genetic or social advantages, but it is nevertheless the case.
If there are twice as many men as women with the intellectual capacity to get first class degrees (and they are paid triple the average salary, say), then one can rapidly see that one would expect men, on average, to out earn women by considerably more than (say) 3-6%.
(Assuming of course income tracks to intellect — and it doesn’t, quite, but that’s not infinitely far off either).
What about the low end? Well, there are still dirty jobs that may not require much intellect but require strength; these tend to be reasonably compensated.
A stupid woman (outnumbered, likely, by stupid men) who is not physically strong, has fewer high earning employment options unless she is physically attractive and young.
Hopefully that gives you an outline of my thinking on the matter, and why I think a 33% disparity is not prima facie evidence of sexist unfairness. (It may be unfair in other societal ways, of course, and I’ve also generally outlined many of the possible logical counterarguments to my thinking on the matter above).
Best,

(And presumably far more highly stupid men at the bottom end than there are highly stupid women). I disgree.
- There have been many intelligent men who didn’t graduate high school who achieved great things. Ever heard of a woman doing that without education?
IQ has much to do with schooled knowledge and there are many with book knowledge that have no walking around sense.
Women doing the same work as man is a fallacious fantasy of the feminist and other women who hate truth.

@wolfe:
The only problem that I have with your argument, is that you equate the level of stupidity with the level of education.

It is amusing that you should mention this - my neighbour is currently reading a management/psychology book that shows (with numbers) that how good someone is at their job, and how far they’ve gone is completely unrelated to IQ (past a certain barrier level of say 120 for scientists). On the other hand, it’s very much related to how much time a person puts into work.
Common sense really!

Actually, I think you’re misreading something I quoted, though I agree it’s not terribly clear. To be clear, level of intellect has only a loose correlation with level of education. It is not feasible to be a moron and have a PhD; it is certainly feasible to be of mediocre intellect and have a PhD, or a brilliant genius and have no degree.
The statement that I think confused matters was:

The statement that I think confused matters was:
I agree; it’s poorly written. My only defense is that I quoted it; a poor defense. What that statement means to me is… “a level said to correspond with people generally capable of getting first class degrees.” And that’s all I intended.
I’m actually skeptical of that book. After all, a coloring book, with paint by numbers shows (with numbers!) how to paint pictures. That doesn’t make it an authority. Much of what’s been written on the subject of IQ (on either side) is rubbish.
Suffice to say, though, that I agree with the premise that someone who works hard at a job is more likely to succeed than a somewhat more intelligent (or better connected) person who doesn’t.
