Thought I'd bring this topic up, since gay men is the only thing that's ever discussed here.

Let's start with some opinions from the general forum public, no?

Just another mental imbalance that masks the reality of this physical world, as people "pretend" to be something they are not, for whatever ingrained abnormalities that was implanted in their psyche at some developmental stage of their life. BD

Everyone has a masculine and feminine side. I don't think sex change opperations are a good idea but if you wanna dress like ladies by all means go ahead. Oh and bluedog, I'm glad you're so balanced that you can tell other people that they are imbalanced.

My last girlfriend was a HOBOsexual..................A bumb fuck.

And just what is wrong with call a "lying dog", a LYING DOG? No one has ever accused me of being politically correct, which is another type of mental imbalance that tries to project the idea that everyone must be pleased by what I speak. I find that "truth" often overcomes bull shit. And for yourself, another communist supporter no doubt, that buys into the lie that everyone is "equal"? What nonsense, its true we are all born equal, but what develops post facto is totally up to the "individual" and his/her power of "free will" choices. So, do not attempt to blame others for "your" poor selections of action, or "cowardly" in-actions. BD

Good, I was hoping for something like this.

First of all, it's not a mental disorder but a physical disorder, strange as it may sound to some. A kind of intersex condition, in fact. As you might know, the brain is what determines your gender, not your genitalia. Essentially, transsexuals are people born with the brain of one sex and the body of the other. This creates a whole lot of mess. GID (Gender Identity Disorder) is what it's called. You probably understand that it's much simpler to change your body than to change your brain, and as such that's the solution for most.

In other words, an FtM (female to male), for example, isn't a woman who wants to be male, but a man who wants to be male.

It has nothing to do with a masculine and feminine side. Nothing at all. Nor is it related to sexual orientation, while we're at it. An MtF (male to female) can easily be very masculine, and a lesbian. Likewise, an FtM can be gay and exceedingly feminine.

As for sex change operations, they're often necessary because the brain disagrees with what's already there. People with GID often have "phantom limb" sensations, in that they can feel what's supposed to be there but isn't there, just like someone who has lost an arm or a leg. The brain knows what its body should be like.

The reason why this is a problem at all is the dysphoria that invariably follows. Suicide rates are high, and most are depressed to some degree. The whole sex change process is there to lessen the dysphoria and let people live their lives the way they feel they're supposed to.


Also... Here are a couple of transsexuals for you.




Note how blatantly clear and obvious it is that they weren't born with their current sexes.

Isn't that Michael Savage?

I can see the similarity, but no. Does take my point a bit further though.

Transexuality is okay, i like it especially in terms of science. Its an impressive task, to change gender, i don't even think God did that one in the Bible. I just can't wait to see what comes next, I'd love some of the wolverine science, some metal claws, why not?

I see this as no different from people that opt for elective surgery, boob job, lipo etc....
These people are insecure to a point of illness.
