I'll go with any given macho patriarchy...and do my level best to get it across that matriachies just don't allow trans..second thought..who'd believe me. Point of fact..its a billion times easier and nicer to be trans in Italy or Greece...in a matriarchy, might as well shot yourself.
I agree with Dagny here, at least from my perspective. Some Americans are always surprised when I say that Latino/mediteraanean/middle eastern etc. men are generally more accepting of me, and showed their attraction to me even early in transition, while the Anglo guys wouldnt give me the time of day until I was consistently passable (they didnt know). My friends expect that Machismo wouldnt allow them to interact with me but its quite the opposite. Its like in some cultures, they just know that we exist, and the rules are pretty clear for how they have to behave to continue being percieved as upright men.
My question for Dagny is: which matriarchial cultures are you referring to and how are you treated there in comparison?
