I can't believe this is about to be my first post in a forum that I have lurked for about 10 years, but the amount of delusion in this thread on both sides is astonishing.
#1 Everybody here needs to stop being brainwashed by the powers that be. Learn about how politics is done and how the "euphamism treadmill" alters language and how it is used to alter politics. Idiot -> Imbecile -> Moron -> Special -> Developmentally Challenged. Negro -> Ni;;er -> Coloured -> Black -> African American.
Transsexuals have their own treadmill which I won't mention here. 'Woman' is the latest absurd iteration of it and it is about as accurate as African American is to refer to Africans. The Morroccans, the Algerians, Tunisians, Egyptians ... are apparently not Africans. Apparently black doctors and lawyers who are 10th generation Frenchmen are African American and not French which usually leads to hilarity when they come to the US and the mass media wants to talk about them.....
#2 Get on a plane out of Canada into the depths of major world City. Observe society. Observe transsexuals. We simply don't have any place in Canada where it can be done - we are too clean - too safe - too crime free - too politically correct.
There are dozens of options around the world, but for the sake of this post Nana Plaza in Bangkok will do. It is probably one of the top 10 sleaze pits of the world. It's also got probably the highest concentration of transsexual prostitutes on the planet. About five stories, maybe 30 bars, half of the bars have trans-women, half of the bars have originally female women. Every bar has a few hundred women dancing on stage half naked with a selection-number on their hip
Walk in. Spend one night. Have a beer at every bar. Observe everything. After your first hour it will all become so obvious which bars have trans-women you will never mistake a trans-girl with a girl-girl ever again.
Watch how girls interact with girls. Watch how girls dance on stage. Watch how girls negotiate with girls. Watch how men negotiate with girls. Watch how girls fight and compete with other girls. Watch how men fight and compete with girls. Watch how men and girls make 'contracts' for the night.
Watch how trans interact with trans. Watch how trans dance on stage. Watch how trans negotiate with trans . Watch how men negotiate with trans. Watch how trans fight and compete with other trans. Watch how men fight and compete with trans. Watch how men and trans make 'contracts' for the night.
Watch the and observe the pooners where are selecting trans girls. Watch the pooners who are selecting girl-girls. Talk to the mama-sans who are running 20 year old prostitution businesses which they depend on for their livelihood.
If you have not got the idea yet, in the trans bars 350 women will be man-spreading, man-splaining, puffing out their chest and exaggerating and telling lies. In the female bars 350 human trafficked young girls will be hiding behind their pole, shyly trying to cover up themselves with their arms under their bikini tops. 18 year old trans-women will be having knife fights in the alley during which 18 year old girls will be having passive-aggressive cat fights in the bathroom.

Trans people come from many different backgrounds.
a)Medical Diagnosis, too many chromosomes, hermaphrodites, etc etc.......and dozens of others.
b)Mental Diagnosis, that they legitimately perceive themselves to be women.
c)People that simply want to get a rise out of society 'cause it is amusing. (ie) Men that wear their paints around their ankles, women who put 20 piercings in their face, Emos, Goths, Marilyn Manson, crossdressers etc etc etc
d)Poverty stricken people at their wits end who simply want to make a buck through prostitution.
e)People that are bat-shit insane and have body image issues. Michael Jackson, Cher, etc etc
f)etc Any number of others shades of black between bat-shit nuts and medical condition.

All advertising is inherently false. Go take a night school MBA and learn why. Whatever the 2017 Truck of the Year is, this is actually a piece of junk. McDonalds hamburgers are always shit and always have been. A real big mac has never looked like a TV big-mac.
Learn how to vet your advertising. 99.9% of the time a simple question like 'am I getting a 1972 size big-mac or a year 2000 mini-big-mac' will get you a correct answer. Advertisers, please understand that some of us are really just looking for a cheap sloppy big-mac and will respect you for advertising honestly.
If 84 people can't tell if a big-mac is a big-mac or a whopper, then it's a big-mac.
#5 Seriously people, get on a plane and travel to countries that have alternate sources of propaganda than the USA&CDN and learn about other perspectives. The Thai's for example are about the most reasonable gentle, quiet, elegant, welcoming culture on the planet. (IMHO) They define transsexuals as a third gender Khatoey (which translates to lady-boy not woman). There are 200ish countries out there and the propaganda spewd by the British, America, CNN, CBC is can be interpreted and discussed by reasonable people.
