Your post has been moved to the appropriate thread, i.e., this "Castration: DISCUSSION" thread. It had been in Freebies. Most of what you write has already been stated in this discussion thread.

I want to concentrate, though, on the part of your long post that I quote just above. It is not acceptable to put quotation marks around the word WOMAN as you have done. This is ungendering. Read here:

Ungendering is not allowed on this site. I hope yours is unintentional, and that you do not see the world this way. I also hope that some of our transwomen members will chime in to remind all of us how disrespectful it is to write things in a way that suggests they are any less women than any other women -- as the use of quotation marks clearly does.
