What are the social "rules" about a transwoman hitting a woman

There is generally a long standing double standard (whether it be fair or unfair) that men should never hit women, no matter how provoked, and the same does not go for a woman hitting a man, a man hitting a man or a woman hitting a woman. But what is the "rule" about a person with the mind of a woman but the strength and body of a man, such as kellie? Would there be the same outrage if kellie were to hit frenchie?
A lot of people are saying "kellie became frank when she squared up to frenchie" and I find it surprising that having lived 50 years as a man, presumably having it deeply engrained that it would be socially unacceptable for him (as frank) to hit a woman in any circumstance, that kellie would later say to Leslie that she nearly lost it with frenchie.

As soon as you resort to violence, you lose any argument and any respect.
I would hope the law doesn't discriminate on sex/gender (unfortunately we know judges have their biases) but I'm wondering about social rules. Also do you think then that kellie would've acted the same way towards frenchie (or another woman) when she was frank?
It is known.
Her womanly attributes disappeared? Because women are never aggressive/violent?
I wonder how Frank would have reacted had Frenchie been one of the male HMs. I think the only one he'd stand up to is tiny Leslie. And Leslie would probably be game enough to verbally savage him!
He was a proper ruthless bastard as a man, you can't just negate all that by becoming a woman!
Now that now Frank is Kellie she thinks all her past sins are resolved, it doesn't work like that.
I personally think that she is the same money orientated aggressive manipulator she was as a man.
Haha they do don't they haha
Fight night one of my best ever moments vic and dik v nadia and emma
There seems quite a few aggressive peeps in there that's for sure but I agree should never get physical total lack of self control
Agree. Unless it's used in self defence, or the defence of loved ones and personal property.
60 isn't that old.
Just because you become a woman, it doesn't automatically mean your past history as a man is completely wiped out. It's not about "escaping" from anything, it's about accepting you were born the wrong gender.
Kellie Maloney may well turn out to be the same "proper ruthless bastard" that Frank Maloney was, but only time will tell.
Has she explicitly said this ?. Or have you simply made an assumption that you know what she is thinking ?
surgery isn't the legal criteria, living as a woman for 2 years will be sufficient for the legal change.
hitting anyone no matter what gender is wrong and an assault , and if resorted to, you have already lost
Did you see how she squared up to Frenchie?
Frank/Kellie is finding it hard to distinguish between aggressive man and coy woman.
Jason. Are you the one who has no sexuallity? Sorry if I'm wrong, Your name rings a bell.
I think the incongruity of that as much as the threat made it quite a scary scene.
So Kellie feels like she is a she. OK I get that bit. But it seems the male impulses haven't gone. Do they ever go? Does removal of the testes and hormone treatment remove years of socialisation to behave as a male. I don't know the answer to that.
Also if under stress the instinct is to behave as a male what does that tell us about the feeling that individual has to be in the wrong gender. We go back to our core personas when stretched to our emotional limits so .. well I will leave that hanging as food for thought.
Finally, even completely transitioned to a woman, will he not still retain the superior strength of a man. Men are simply biologically stronger then women. Although I accept there are some very strong women and some very physically weak mean. But going by the overwhelming majority even the little puny ones are stronger than the average woman. Can that superior muscle power be taken away following reassignment surgery.
Agree totally. This 'two people in the same body' crap just does not wash.
Kellie would be receiving female hormones, not Testosterone. That's IF he is on hormones at all. I can't see one feminine trait in this self-pitying mess.
