I am sorry to hear this.

Do you look like and dress like a man or woman?

Your physiology should be the determining factor, not your dress or inclinations. Like many problems until it is fixed one way or another you have to adjust. Fun, no, painful at times, yes, but it is like a quadriplegic who wants to go for a walk at the beach. They can't. You have serious enough problems that you do not need to aggravate it. Dress to match your physical appearance genetically, not the mental view you may have and the problems will be .... minimal. Again fun, no, but realistically it is the best choice for now.

You would love being downtown in Indy, I have been there many times and used to live in IN.

Just as you do certain things for your medical condition to relieve the pressure, do so for the use of a restroom. If you look like you belong no one will care, if not ...................

With the laws as written, he can't use the men's room, So if in public, with the law as written in most states, he would be forced to use the women's room. I love the guy, but I don't love him enough want him in the bathroom with me.

If your legal status is a female, you use the female restroom. If she wants to change into a man, you should have to amend your driver's license or some form of ID. I will never agree with open season on which restroom you want to use.


Heck - just don't build any bathrooms into your structure and make everyone go outside in the genderless port-a-potty.

Have you thought about yielding to Jesus so you'll have more compassion for other people?

You should try it. As should a lot of fundamentalists.... as is illustrated in this thread. It will also help y'all drop the bags of stones you carry everywhere you go.

I'm female, I pass very well, or so I'm told. I see a monster in the mirror most days, but that's just kind of a body image issue. I've been told I'm pretty by a few people.

I miss Indy. I used to live there. I spent most of my teen years on the South side.

I do, every minute of every day. Which is why I'm not biting your head off right now, which is what my fleshly desire is at this particular moment. But it wouldn't be fruitful, or loving. So I refuse. I don't desire to be a woman, I simply am.

I know, right? Thank you Dew. That kind of thing rarely bothers me anymore. I'd laugh if it weren't so sad. Because even though it really doesn't bother me, someone else coming up behind me, another LGBTQ person, may see that kind of thing, and may not be strong enough to handle it gracefully yet. To them I say "ignore that noise, just be you."

There is a NOVEL thought, as if any evangelical cultist has ever had any THOUGHTS of their own..

You can't have Jesus and your flesh too; it's one or the other; no man can serve two masters.

No, if you were yielded to Jesus, you would have victory over fleshy desires. Jesus gives power over the flesh. As it is written, put ye on the Lord Jesus and make no provision for the flesh.
