I also find it quite hard to believe you know oodles of transexual people, but can still say with a straight face "They're just homosexuals".
Just to add to this, I find it annoying these days that everything that makes people uncomfortable is seen as a "condition" or "problem". I have to admit that I do not know transexuals personally, however I know plenty of people who are gay that perfectly keep to themselves and don't force their sexuality, just as I don't force mine on them. Trans people aren't problems, any more than aging isn't a problem, being gay isn't a problem, or PMS isn't a problem. Sexuality isn't black and white, and I don't believe it ever was. We are thankfully living in a time where it is more accepted to be out of the norm, however unfortunately not everyone is accepting.

It's one thing to say "this isn't for me" and another thing to say that it's a "problem". I believe people who feel hateful towards one particular sexuality are lacking in confidence and personal happiness. Someone's sexuality doesn't offend me any more than someone's choice of fashion, favorite culinary dish, or nail polish color.

Don't know if this has been posted because I'm not scanning the entire thread, but allegedly, one of the transsexuals who is allegedly a cause of JLo's recent breakup with her boyfriend looks frighteningly like a woman.



But even still... hell no.

In today's society, you gotta get a background check, and conduct field research.

Transsexuality is not equally distributed btw males & females. The vast majority are men who want to be women. To be more exact, homosexual men who take sad shots at turning into pretty, young females.

(Don't bring up that rare 13 year old cute girl who wants to be a guy--these are exceptions).

Even most females want to be young, pretty girls. As long as possible. It is easier in life. Rewarding emotionally. Easy to have sex. Easier to get perks, attention, a social life, not having to work so hard, and and and.

Transexuals are gays who never wanted to come out of the closet. Make that mom's closet.

You're so wrong that it's not even worth debating. Jeez it's easy enough to research a topic before making snap judgments. Gender and sexuality are not the same.

Also there are a number of gay people who' also have a problem with transgender women in particular. A lot of them would be insulted to read this as gay men are still men that just happen to like men

Of course I can give an opinion on it because my sister is transgender, her friends are, many people where I live are transgender, homosexuals.

I never gave a negative opinion about someone being trans or gay. Just that I wouldn't date a gay woman, since I am straight and attracted to straight men, not homosexuals, which transsexuals are.

I did not choose this and this isn't a lifestyle choice. For whatever reason, it's just how I'm wired. Why should I (and others) have to be trapped and miserable just to conform to a society that doesn't care about people anyway? I have always been a girl inside and I needed to do this in order to reconcile my body and soul as best I could. And despite the crap I've gotten on here and other forums and from family and friends who have either distanced themselves or disowned me completely, I am way happier now.
Look. Take it up with the person who called you a freak. I didn't say anything offensive and definitely wasn't the one implying that you suffer from some paradox psychological issue where you believe your body is an alien because your according to some crank your brains are all messed up. Be what you want to be. I'm not sure how it is you took offense to me not being attracted to gay people. I'm straight, not into gays, transsexuals are gay. What's the offensive point there? Stop being intolerant.

That's what I said to her? Really? Because I don't see her having a problem with my post, just yours.

Sounds like you just twisted my words to throw your own feelings in there.

I'm intolerant? I didn't take offense. I am just pointing out that you're wrong. I have a lot of transgender friends and many are attracted to women, but some are attracted to men, while others are bisexual or pansexual like me. Gay and transgender are not the same.

Nope, just revealed yours, and I pointed out to you how ludicrous I think it is to say someone's brain is an aberration from everyone else's just because they're transgender. She doesn't seem to have taken offense to that, but if someone said my brain was "geared" a certain way just because of my sexuality that's natural to me, I'd be offended.

Oh okay. I consider bisexuals and pansexuals to be homosexual too because they're still sexually attracted to their own sex.
