I put the first comment on the CNN article.
I’m sorry, Ashley, but “she” was a he, down to every cell in his body. Even amputating his male parts would not change that fact. I’m very sorry that CNN has gone down the political-correctness rabbit hole. What’s next? If a mentally ill person named Smith thinks he is Napoleon, will you refer to Smith as Napoleon?
I am sick of this stupidity. If you have a "y" chromosome, then every single cell of your body is male. There are no "female" cells in your system, ergo you are *NOT* a female, and NO POWER ON EARTH will make you into one.
You might as well claim to be a "Unicorn" or a "Dragon", for all the good it will do you. The first thing that needs to happen is that these people need to be set down and thoroughly disabused of the notion that they can every be anything different from what they are.
I've known stupid kids who claimed they were "Lycanthropes" (Werewolve people from that stupid movie "Twighlight") or "Vampires" from any one of the other stupid movies out there.
No, you're not a "Werewolf". You are not a "Vampire". You are not a Dragon, a Unicorn, a Tree, nor are you Napoleon, and you are for D@MN sure not female.
