Wealthy man in poor man's body

Much has been talked about lately of transgendered people, those who are born either male or female but choose to live as members of the opposite sex.

There's been much said recently about transgendered people, those who feel they are of the opposite sex that they were born and choose to live as such even though they are physically of the other sex. Males who consider themselves to be females want access to female locker rooms and bathroom facilities. There is a trend occuring that those in charge want to allow it in order to cater to the feelings of the transgendered and not to those for whom such facilities were meant.

I can relate to the desires of the transgendered because I am a wealthy man trapped in the body of a poor man and have experienced discrimination because of my sincere belief in who I am. I was not allowed membership in a country club because my check bounced. How unfair. I identify myself as rich and in my mind I have several hundred thousand dollars in my checking account.

If I identify as being wealthy my bank should honor my checks as if the money was there in order to spare my feelings. If this outrage is allowed to continue my plan for a month long vacation in Honolulu in a 5 star hotel is out the window. Oh the humanity!
