HA!..See i was sort of right..i'm not totally braindead :P..

If I find you super hot, does that make me gay?

[QUOTE="FUBAR24"][QUOTE="clyde46"] How do people take it? Sorry for asking but I've been hearing America isnt too hot on the idea of transgenders etc.Xx_Hopeless_xX

I tend to not care what people look like..

I got one. Would I (a guy) be able to ethically fight a transgendered person or is that still generally frowned upon?hamstergeddon

[QUOTE="Lockedge"] Pills are not very good for our livers considering how much pills we'll have to take in, and we're more susceptible to prostate cancer, so yes, we'll need to be screened medically quite often. Injections fix the liver bit, but are more expensive as you often have to do those with doctor supervision.Lockedge

So your..girls..but guys..and you like girls...and..the whole world is upside down!!! MAKE IT STOP!!! :cry:

Not referring to you..guys as "its" by the way..

I don't really have a question, but I think it's really cool you're willing to use your life and experiences to better educate others and perhaps change some people's outdated viewpoints on transgender people.XilePrincess

[QUOTE="Lockedge"] I mean, technically the pills we take are no better or worse for the liver than any other pills the liver needs to take. :P It's just that pills do hurt the liver. And due to the hormones our already large odd of prostate cancer could increase, but medical advances and proper medication routines have helped with that. For the most part, our hormones are safe, we just need to monitor our health a lot.Lockedge

The only literal, truly transgendered are hermpahrodites. Otherwise, you're just playing dress up and/ or getting surgery.

[QUOTE="Xx_Hopeless_xX"]

[QUOTE="Lockedge"] Born with male genitalia due to a hormonal mishap while developing in the womb. Most transfolk just want to fix that. We've always been the gender we are in our head, our body just didn't match. And our sexual preference is absolutely independent of our gender, however the same ratios would likely be present in that of a regular person of the gender we identify with. So I would have the same chance of being homosexual as any other woman.Lockedge

Ohh i see...so if you date are you going to tell the guy?..

• "Of, relating to, or designating a person whose identity does not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female gender roles, but combines or moves between these."

• "People who were assigned a sex, usually at birth and based on their genitals, but who feel that this is a false or incomplete description of themselves."

• "Non-identification with, or non-presentation as, the sex (and assumed gender) one was assigned at birth."

It even says there is no fully precise defenition. I don't think you are precise with the concept.

[QUOTE="Bobzfamily"]

What is your sex and what sexual orientation do you idenfity with?

FUBAR24

Wait, I'm being serious here. Does that make you a lesbian?

[QUOTE="clayron"]How & when did you begin to recognize that you felt different in regards to your gender? Did you immediately decide to begin identifying better with the gender you felt more comfortable with? If not, what gave you the confidence to finally do it? What type of issues do you deal with as a transgender? Any are there any other things would you like to discuss. The reason I ask is because of all the things in the world transgenders are one of the few things that make me uncomfortable, and I would like to become informed about transgender so that I can get the hell over my own prejudice.

I don't want to sound condescending, and I'm sure you've heard it before, but that's awesome that you are willing to go out there and be who you want to be, even in this horribly bigoted and ignorant world.

One question I do have is: How do you go about finding people you're attracted to and are willing to date someone who is at least at one point biologically speaking a man? Because, to be completely honest, if I found out that I was dating a transgendered I would not feel comfortable and probably would be fairly upset. This would be nothing against the person, more that I am a straight male and as such naturally am a little homophobic to the extent that I would never be attracted to them.

I'm sorry if the question came across as a little rude, especially after my opening paragraph.

I have a question.

Do you still like the same food as before? :?

[QUOTE="Trashface"][QUOTE="FUBAR24"]thats a huge misconception, there is a scientifically proven hormone imbalance in our heads. i mean to say its nothing more than dressing up would be like saying people suffering from depression are just over reacting and drama queensLilyanne46

I have yet to see your source of this information, or how you got it.

I know this is completely random but i like your avatar :P..

You know sometimes the dictionary is the definition of your true heart. Plus, don't always put your trust inside that. You don't know what it's like in someone else's shoes. :?

This is theoretical...

Even if they were delusional...why bother putting them down..it's kind of pointless..

Well, I've always wanted to be a woman until recently. I just accepted who I am, because I can't change it and I don't want to undergo surgery, because I'll still be the same person.Genetic_Code

You, just, don't get it. And astronauts =/= transgender whether you're giving an example or not.

And being grown doesn't mean you can never be what you want to be. Just trust your gut and follow your heart and you'll get there.

I'm all for following your heart..and ima let you finish n all...but i have the biggest heart of all time..of ALL TIME!!...
