> if I declared myself to be a black woman, he’d object. The “freedom to be what you wish” stops at race, I guess.

Heh. :-)

Some things are more 'free' (to use) than others. Crazy, isn't it?

> One culture’s truth is just another culture’s lie.

Ooh, Cultural Relativism, I detest it. Absolutes *do* exist in the world. 'Freedom' is one of them ... and some cultures don't have it.

If the Left can proclaim that "one culture's truth is another culture's lie" why can't they accept my belief that men and women are of (absolutely) different sexes?

(Because I'm of 'their' culture and so they therefore have the power to quash me?)

My take on freedom - everyone in the West has the freedom to believe whatever he, personally, wants, including he's of whatever sex. But I have the freedom to believe what I want to believe, and he cannot force me to adopt his belief, which would curtail *my* freedom. (Nothing original in this premise, of course.)

Thanks! Takes me back to my concert band days. (The flautists were always the prettiest girls. I note the piccolo section in this band were all of the distaff persuasion.)
