Not possible to be a man if you have a vagina, you are a hermaphrodite.
Yes, you can be a man and have a vagina. Just as you can be a woman and have a penis.
Also, if you're so disgusted, then why did you click on the article? Doubting your own sexuality? Insecure? Pissed because women will find Balian Buschbaum more attractive than they would find you?

Can never understand why some people go through transgender ops but don't change the most important thing that makes a man or woman
Surgery can only create fake genitals, not real ones.
Oh yeah and though it develops differently women still have the same structures inside ie women who ejaculate !
If a woman has her breasts removed due to illness she does not refer to herself as a man.
It's what we have between our legs that determine are gender.
As for the Thomas Beatie - she may have manly features she is a woman not a man
You guys, I know that deep inside you don't like trans guys because the thought of biological women actually becoming real men frightens you and makes you question your own gender!! Haha! ;-)
I'll tell you what gender is.
The penis/vagina doesn't make you a man or a woman.
No. What it does is that if you have a penis (and testicles) your body produces testosterone which makes you go through male puberty. If you have a vagina your body produces estrogen which makes you go through female puberty.
If there were something wrong with your testicles so they didnt work properly or didnt produce enough testosterone then you would never go through male puberty and you wouldnt look like a man. And same to women, if there were something wrong in their body they wouldnt developer breasts and all other female features.
So it's not what you have between your legs that makes you a man or a woman. It's the HORMONES that does. Testostrone makes you a man and estrogen a woman!
So trans guys take testosterone which makes them ??? Yes! MEN.
And trans women take estrogen which makes them ??? Yes! WOMEN.
You guys are just scared and confused because you are raised to believe that men are those with dicks.
You've learned that your "manhood" is in your dick. Without it you are nothing. You guys are so damn attached to your dicks it's pathetic!! Your manhood comes from testostrone!!
And when you see men without a dick you start to question things...
And this white crazy world is so damn focused on what you have between your legs. Yes it makes you have babies but not everyone wants that anyway so.
Whats the first thing they say when a baby is born? It's a boy! Or: It's a girl!
It startes out wrong already there. We tell our kids to judje people from the inside and not for their outside but what do many people still do? They judje you for your looks and and they judje your gender because of what you've got between your legs. Like it's any or their business anyway??
We should teach or children that people can be beautiful on the inside and that people are aloud to be whoever they want and gender is expressed individually by each person
We should teach our children to look at other people, different people with love and understanding instead of hate and judjement!
And to do that we have to play good rolemodels for them!
They should be acting as babies. Not us!
And please try to understand people who are not like you because you aint even trying.
You panic because you don't understand and she turned you on so that makes you gay?? Omg even worse because you were also raised to believe that homosexuality is disgusting and wrong!!
But the only reason (Until now) parents have been teaching their kids that men have dicks and women have vaginas is because until now it's actually been like that! It's now it's all starting to change and once again that scares the shit out of you!
But Guess what? That doesn't change you!
And that about removing breasts? Biological men do it to. It's called gynecomasty when they develope breasts and mastektomy to have them removed. And then you can't compare men removing their breasts and women having them removed because of cancer. That's just cruel.
you should know we don’t really care until you try and force us to pretend along with you or you start radicalizing naive children.
they're men, so grow some brain and use "he" for fuck's sake
