Well I did a thread about homosexuality so...

Personally I think transexuality is rather misunderstood. People often see transexuals as freaks who for some odd reason decided they wanted to be the opposite sex.

It isn't like that at all. They all suffer from Gender Identity Disorder (they have to be diagnosed with this before surgery can be undertaken). Gender Identity Disorder is a terrible thing for those who suffer from it. It Basically means you feel like one gender when you're biologically the other (for a comparison, imagine one day waking up to find you've become a member of the opposite sex!)

I thought I'd bring this up, because as I said before, they are much misunderstood people. I too thought they were weird until I met (and became best friends with) a girl who suffers from Gender Identity Disorder (she is having surgery sometime in the future).

I don't really know were this topic's going to go, but I thought I'd throw it out there and see what happens.

I don't dislike transsexuals. I mean, I've known one personally, but they are just people. If we can let people smoke them selves to death, why not let them get a sex changed too. F*ck smoking.

People can smoke themselves to death all they like-it's their funeral. Just don't do around me. I can't stand the smell of tobacco smoke.

Smoking is a necessary freedom.

I wouldn't leave the damned house, except to head to the nearist Ann Summers or Hot Ladies 'R' Us (Yoga class, flexability testing in extreamly tight outfits, humina-humina whatever they're calling it nowdays).

You seem to be suggesting that getting a sex change is as bad as smoking, but people with Gender Identity Disorder can't help it, people who smoke can.

I think the best part is, most people with gender identity disorder change sex so they can become gay (in other words, to keep having sex with the same people they were having sex with before). Aparently, wanting different genetelia isn't linked to sexuality.

Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs?
Your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar?
Not one now, to mock your own grinning?

They don't have a sex change so they can become gay. They simply want to be a different gender due to the disorder. Their sexual preference is irrelavant.

That's pretty much what he was saying, I think.

Or maybe not because let's face it half the time I don't know what I'm talking about.

I love the smell of good tobacco smoke. Reminds me of Europe. I'd never take up smoking myself but I love the smell of passive smoke.

They no longer fit into the limited classification we define based on sexuality, though I guess it could be called pansexuality. One of the things that strikes me about transexuality is oysters. What I mean by this is that oysters can change their gender during their lifetimes, but obviously humans cannot (naturally), thus we end up with people who feel they're in the wrong skin. And knowing you're different from everyone else, for reasons outside your control is one of the most painful things to admit and come to terms with. If you do finally understand it (i.e. yourself), you then have the daunting task of either dealing with it on your own, or reaching out to people. I remember when I fell in love with my best friend, and I finally after months of crying in my pillow, and stealing touches when I could, I told him, and his response just destroyed me. I took the risk, and it didn't work, and more people found out, and realised that I was different, and I bottled everything up, until I lashed out. I should have reached out, been strong, but the pain of knowing I was different stopped me. What I guess I'm trying to say is that these people who feel trapped, who feel alone, who feel confused, should be given the help and support they need. People worry obsessively about their image and they cry, rage, and hurt when normality is snatched fromt them.

I think that the people that judge and condem, that hurt, sometimes don't realise how painful there words are, and how deeply distressing their ostracising is.


My point probably isn't very clear, and sorry that this post is so all over the place, its 3am after all.

Roxas, his heart was human, yet because of his status as a being his fate was sealed since he was born. How many times must humanity judge others like that as well without giving them a fair chance?
