      Here is the deal. If trans women want to dress and act like women, go for it. I support the choice you make and I hope it does what you need to be happy. I reject any discrimination in treatment, careers or social acceptance.

      But biologically you are not female and, therefore not entitled to compete as women where physical prowess is a deciding criteria.

      Second, I reject any medical treatment that has permanent effects until the patient is of legal age to make that choice. At legal age I support your choice 100%.

      Amy is being a bit of a Hamm with this one and I'm more than okay with it.

      I like the cut of her jib and the use of comedic sarcasm in this example of the silly taking themselves too seriously.

      Thanks for the grin Amy by sharing that and keep writing please.

      As a farmer I raised rabbits.

      Meat rabbits. Thousands.

      I can take a rabbit apart

      In under 5 minutes

      An excellent source of protein

      Exceeding both chicken and the

      Gawd awful turkey.

      Self sufficiency starts with rabbits

      At first I found it confusing that, only once, and with no explanation, Amy Hamm brings in the accusation of antisemitism. And then I realized what is going on

      Look at the spelling of these cute crestures

      RABBIT.

      Now remove the T and what do you have?

      RABBI.

      Clearly, rabbit is code for rabbi, and this is offensive and denigrating to rabbis, that adding one letter can turn them from learned, religious men into a furry, four legged cute and lovable creature.
