Our country and world have many problems to solve, but right now gender types and personality types are not on the priority list. It would be nice for other people to have knowledge about transexuals and I think that is the best option for our country. I'm sorry Sharpay, but this sort of statement always bugs me a little. It makes me understand and remember what's going on with Obama and the gay rights. He promises to change things.. but no, there is other more important things. Why can't we all pitch in to fix all the things we can? I'm not fighting any wars, I'm not going to be able to fix the economy, I'm not going to be able to solve the homeless problem. But this is something we all have the power to do just by altering our thought patterns a little. Stop basing so much on the physical sex of a person and let their gender and personality come through.

Sorry to say this. But it's not that easy. you can't change the way people look at things. Although I agree, we can all pitch in.. but.. its going to take ALOT. People didn't stop hating on races until after the Civil war. Even then there is problems. For instance, *gaming reference, because I am white and nerdy* look at the Half-Elves in ToS.

I NEVER SAID IT WAS EASY.
Yessh, people need to stop putting words or assumptions or anything in my mouth (this isn't the first one I've heard either) I just am saying that saying "It's not easy." is usually a means to say.. "No point in trying." TRY. Don't give up and just.. let it go on!

I am just wondering, your last question talks about being ok if your kid wants to walk in a dress. Angel Im just wondering, do you automatically think your children will be transexuals? just wondering. What if they just grew up not being transexual but still was themselves, how would you feel about it?

Insulting assumptions abound.
Why would I do that? I expect my kids will be who they want to be.. I'm using the dress as a reference for the fact.. but whoever they want to be is most important. If my boy wants to be a typical boy, that's just fine.. but he will have every opportunity to be whoever he or she wants, as masculine or as feminine or as a mix as they want. That's all I'm saying.

1. There isn't anything wrong with Transsexually I think. Its just something different I would say and people aren't used to such a thing. Its just like things like homosexuality and race relations. People for the most part will eventually accept it but there will always be a set few that will not. Its life.
2. Not really. I mean like being a dude. I love doing all the things a typical guy would like to get into. Playing sports, kissing girls, wearing clothes are traditionally for guys and so on. I have been told I'm in touch with my feminine side though and I do enjoy somethings that are stereotypically something associated with girls like (and I know I'm gonna catch hell for this lol) Knitting. Its a long story D:
3. Born
4. Gender and all that stuff doesn't really matter. If your suited to be a parent and you want to be a caretaker, there is no reason anyone should prevent you from doing so.
4b. Well its sad that you will not be able to experience the miracle of giving birth and all that. I mean its expected that you would feel that way since its pretty much like your in the "wrong body" so to say but if you did have a child and all that, you would at least have the experience of being a mother and that would be in my opinion a much more joyful and rewarding experience since its something you can enjoy for a lifetime. That said you know.. if you want a child, try to find a place that will allow you to adopt.
5. That's a pretty hard thing to pin down. I mean.. if I were to go out with a male to female.. its straight on a mental level but if I were engage in sexual activity and like.. push some buttons and turns some knobs here and there.. its pretty much homosexual.. at least physically.
6. To be honest, I would be hurt because that's an important thing to not tell someone about but as for what I would do, I honestly do not know. I mean if its love, I wouldn't care about a physical appearance so much and I could possibly get over it continue with the relationship but for something like sex and all, I wouldn't be able to do it because I'm just not attracted to the male form.
7. I would support my child and help them be the person they feel like they should be no matter what.
7a. Usually, you would be able to tell if you payed attention to your child for a long period of time. Like by the time your child is maybe around six years of age, you would be able to know for sure or they would express their desire for what they like. If that is so, then you could look into transitioning and take it from there.

1. There is nothing wrong with transsexuality. Many people think there is due to the fact that someone changes themselves. If you want to be a transsexual, feel free to do so.
2. Never have I thought like that.
3. Transsexuals are born. They may have a different body, but inside is what matters. If they feel like a woman inside but are a man outside, they think of themselves as a woman and are woman to themselves even if others do not think so.
4. Transsexuals should be allowed to adopt. It's not like they're some spawn from hell or murderer. They are normal people just like everyone else.
5. In reality, that is a gay couple, but they can think that they're straight or other people may think they're straight. There is nothing wrong with thinking what you believe. In reality, they are in fact, a gay couple, no matter how much they change themselves.
6. It would probably change the relationship, but it would not make me want to break up with them. It might be odd, but that will change and everything will be better.
7. If my child felt they were born in the wrong body, I will tell them that they were made to be this gender and such. Then, I'd tell them they can change if they want, but always to remember their true selves.
