Anyone here who is also g@y but don't know how to respond to transgenders?

lol
seriously though, i agree.

I'm straight but if I ended up dating and marrying a woman, and she turned out to have been born a man the entire time.
that would just eff me up in every way possible.

the same with extreme plastic surgery(a little bit doesnt hurt, but a few ppl's face literally changes 100% different)

 
they can dress the way they like, and i know its a free country and all but its still very very awkward and offputting.

I take the view that it's a surgical solution for a psychological problem. Cross-dressing never bothered me but the mere thought of surgically constructed genitals and all that that entails is sickeneing. 

hormone treatment doesn't bother me either.  I just think unneccesary surgery is a step too far.

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="magicalclick"]

Yes, they are flaming gay Can you detect closet gays? You can't even verify that when no one knows except himself. Most of professional gays are quite discrete and you don't see them in clubs.

If all gays turn purple, then, you would be surprised how many gays are actually around you. They are very str8 acting. Seriously, I have no interesting in those butterflies. I wouldn't turn gay if they are not manly. Manly as in str8 acting. I am not talking about muscle queens if you are wondering. There are a lot of those in clubs.

That is just like athlets taking drugs, female plastic surgery, male fake bicept, niptock, Korean typical jaw surgery. They are not required, but, people are doing it.

Yeah, I can't stop them but I wish they wouldn't.  In my dictatorship the only plastic surgery I'd sanction would be for burn victims, horrific accidents and deformities. 

Eyelid surgery, boob jobs, nips, tucks, nose jobs, genital mutilation, all that stuff is against my religion.

I'm gay and I would say I generally know how to respond to transgender people. It doesn't really matter to me if someone is transgender, although it does irritate me when they barely make any effort to actually look or sound like the gender they identify as.

Worthy or not depends on each person's opinion.

I'm just sick of seeing it everywhere I look. Everything has a time and place.

[QUOTE="ghoklebutter"][QUOTE="FelipeInside"] The obvious one you hear about in the news every day, read about it in every 3rd news article, talk about it in every 10th Facebook post etc etc. Shove "Being Gay is Natural and Marriage should be allowed" into everyone's faces whenever they can. DON'T say it ain't true, cause you know it is.FelipeInside

What's the time and place for wanting to be treated like an equal human being? And I don't know about you but I don't see it everywhere I look.

I am gay but when I see a transgender I get wierded out.

rhoads90

Be more accepting of peoples' differences.

Sickening to you, yes. But not to someone who has a real physical need for such a surgery. Also, not all transgender people want to get the surgery. Many of them like to keep the genitals they were born with.ghoklebutter

And I'm the one complaining only?

I didn't say only.

"What I do see often is a ton of straight agenda sh*t all over the place."...... hmmmmmFelipeInside

That's a separate topic.

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="rhoads90"]

I am gay but when I see a transgender I get wierded out. I feel like if you are a man, be a man, if you are a woman, be a woman, gay be gay straight be straight. But when I meet someone who is trangendered I dont know how to be around them. It wierds me out. But I feel so bad because I know that they feel better and they have gone through something similar to what I have except changing sexes. I know they get it even worse than being gay....I dunno, I just feel bad about it. I am lost when I meet transgenders but sympathetic towards them at the same time.

 

Anyhere in the same position?

I'm not closed minded enough to let people's differences to me cloud my judgment.

death is a rather good motivator for trying to not be yourself. i put a enough guns to your head and i guarantee you that you will play the part of a duck if i want you to.

as for me i have no problems with transgender at all. in fact i applaude them if they go through wil the changes they want in themselves especially at a younger age. had i been like that when iw as say 16. maybe things would ahve been different for me than they are today..

[QUOTE="rhoads90"][QUOTE="FelipeInside"] Sorry to be Devil's Advocate here, but you say you are gay and people should act what they are. 95% of Gay Men actually act like women so....???ionusX

[QUOTE="Slashless"]

I usually respond with a hello.

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"] 95% of Gay Men actually act like women so....???rhoads90

Please

That statistic is more like 100% because no REAL man would commit the sin that is homosexuality.

Please

No REAL person with a brain would commit the sin of being caught by a joke.

[QUOTE="ionusX"]

[QUOTE="rhoads90"] You don't know anything. What you see on movies and tv is not the case. I would say 80% of gay people I meet in life and clubs are not feminine.FelipeInside

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="ionusX"] indeed it is a VERY small fraction something more along the lines of a graph flip is required to correct your view. some people man..

[QUOTE="MannyDelgado"][QUOTE="FelipeInside"] "some people man"? Dude, I'm just saying what I see.... and what I see is they act feminine, or I can tell they are gay a mile off. Like I said, maybe it's Australia, I'm just going off what I see.ionusX

indeed

as for u being able to tell. what do you think i am?

I'm transgender but don't know how to respond to gay people.

I mean gender is largely a social construct so you can be anything you want but if you like the same sex then that's sort of opposite of your natural biological imperative, I don't know how to be around someone like that.
