So, then, go ahead calling people names... I hope you also take in good faith when other people would cal foolish for having a different opinion about an issue...
N I also wish you have the courage to cal people that in their faces n nt only on social media

hahahaha. Your a funny boy. If u want to know if I can call people foolish in person and even slap them if necessary. Then you need to know me in person. A pm will clear such doubts.

Ojukwubucket:
In just two words 'being aware' or 'being informed'...
If u are aware that people are unique in various ways, especially, in opinion, you wouldn't have labeled someone 'simpleton' simply because his or her opinion, was different from urs...
I know u myt stil want to nag about this... But I advise you don't go about calling people names for toeing a different angle to an issue ... Especially in life scenarios...
It might have devastating consequences... Because, nt everyone takes name-calling lightly....

really tell me something. And the person will do what exactly. Hahahahaha when something is foolish , it is foolish. A mad man sees thing differently does not make it a valid point to consider. That fellow is a simpleton as if I didn't say it. Someone else still would have. So what are u on about

Ojukwubucket:
Surely, sticking to ur guns evn wen wrong, evn wen wrong, all but indicates that u hav vowed never to be enlightened....
Well, good for you....

can you define this enlightenment so I carefully point out why its foolish. Awaiting

Sapiosexuality:
What exactly is your point? Is it that transgender women had similar experience as women(her point)? Simple Yes or No.

will the LGBT community segregate a heterosexual who realized he is gay this morning because he doesn't have the same life experiences from a gay of 20years? Are they not both gays currently subjected to the same percieved injustice she is trying to fight ? Why should it be consdered by how long one has been queer being a measure of his understanding of challenges. So my answer to you is "yes". Current circumstances should match their current definitions as women even though previously male. Because the challenges being faced are not past or weighted issues , but current and existing issues and biases.

Sapiosexuality:
It matters currently who one identifies when the topic is on who he identifies with currently. It fails to matter when the subject is about their respective experiences.

This is commonsensical. You don't join a new camp for a few days and want your story to be told with the same language the other members of the camp is told. It doesn't even require too much logic.

Our world, with little equity, have shown evil to all, but more to women. Their upbringing was marred by inequity. The society's hypocrisy in handling their matters is another thing. Women get the hammer more.

Then one guy goes trans tomorrow and wants to be described with elements of feminine experience. It makes zero sense. You are asking me to respect such illogic because the transgender says so. No. It makes no sense.

Your response on why men's name should be answered by women didn't say anything tangible. It only worsened the problem. Why must we follow culture? We should rather follow logic and not custom. Should a foolish man be the head of the family because culture says so?

what do you define as customs, even what you seek today the so called female liberalization in the next 200years will be regarded as customs and still subject to change. Thus why degrade one for another. The current state of women asides in strictly muslim communities means that women get more equal oppportunities than men but since that is not the subject here. I still will point out that that rationalization which you giving for the non inclusion of transgender is similar to the bias a heterosexual has towards all these new sexual definitions . When we try to trace the history to determine cause and effect, all we see is pure facts as to why nobody is born gay but was a sudden realization at some point thanks to environmental influences in upbringing. All I am saying is that, simply because adichie is a literature goddes doesn't make her any smarter than a house mouse to become an authority in general life matters.

I don't yet understand why the mere concept of someone accepting or promoting the aalternate life style is paired with enlightenment. I am just pointing out that fact that her bias can be considered segregative by being non inclusive of all women (transgendered women). She is speaking of the current and I believe these women also face the smae challenges all current women are facing. Why calculate discrimination and rights abuses by the length of time which one suffered it. Is that logical ?

Ojukwubucket:
Mr man.. Every human being is entitled to his opinion... Stop abusing people simply because their idea don't tally with urs... Pls b enlightened

if you are enlightened then you will know that criticism isn't abuse nor does it mean a call to arms. I posed a question which should be answered with facts that brought about such views. At least its now left to readers to determine whether its an objective or subjective view. Such determination proves my earlier assertion on the simpleton angle. so reevaluate your enlightenment mr man

Evaberry:
....

who is this fool calling me a simpleton

can u pls GTFO!!!!

I called you a simpleton on assumption, yet you have proved it. Which exam have you ever passed or assesed, what contribution in anything have you ever done that rules you out as an idiot. Who jumps to fictional literature and regards such as proof of intelligence on other life subjects

Sapiosexuality:
No, he's not a simpleton. Adichie is both a great fiction writer and an intelligent woman. You'd be hating or intellectually inferior to disagree. It is just the fact. What exactly is your problem with her? I'd like to hear it.

Transwomen are trans women. They did not go through the experiences the woman from Childbirth passed through. Except you have no idea on what transgender means. Can you tell me any good reason why a woman must answer her husband's name?

do u see the problem. you serenade the heterosexual for non-inclusiveness with respect of the new world definition of other sexualities and yet have also found a way to do same to the transgender. I though what matters is what and whom one identifies with currently, must past non struggles due to being a former man matter in the present ? Now why not tell me the fight against customs. In a typical patriaciah society its norm for a woman to answer the man's name, and in a matriach one we assume the female name is most appropraite. So when has whose name is answered been a case of choice by men to subjugate women to their nuances

.
honestly speaking chiamanda can do no wrong in my eyes

it's not easy being her and saying the things she does say.
how many Nigerian women can choose not to answer their husbands name after marriage

how many Nigeria women can profess support and love on live TV for LGBT

How many Nigerian women can excel in literature both home and abroad

I mean Gosh god damn it

this woman. has brains... She is a literature god
.

she is so fantastic to your ilk cos ur a simpleton. How does being a fiction writer make anyone smart on life issues. So when women are able to talk about LGbT rights on live television they are advanced beings ? Or when the refuse to answer their husbands names.
