Are Transgender People Really Trapped In The Wrong Body?

You should be praised for your work.

I witnessed bullying throughout my childhood from elementary school, to summer camp, boy scouts, middle school (although I was never bullied myself because I was one of the cool kids) and in high school and despised what I saw.

Thank you for altering the fate of the outsider, the socially inept, the awkward kid, and the transgender, who are often the target of bullying.

No praise for me, thanks.

I don't help in anyway that everyone of you is not capable of.

 

Your posts reveal more than enough about you. Consider hermaphrodites.

 

I am for sure in the wrong body! Where did these wrinkles come from? How come my joints pop, crack and hurt? WTF is up with gravity these days?

 

I think there is definitely something psychological going on there. I don't necessarily buy it. I'm not trying to sound insensitive or bigoted. I just think that realistically there is a lot of potential for something to be going on with that. Sexuality is sort of inherent. When you begin to choose I think there is room for dishonesty. That's not to say that when you're growing up that experiencing something with someone of the same gender is unusual. It probably isn't unusual at all.

I can see too that for some people maturation sets in at a later point. You don't wake up one day and conclude that you are now sexual with the opposite sex. You learn it by watching.

 

There is nothing insensitive or bigoted about it. It's your opinion.

It kind of sucks that we live in an age where people cannot have an unpopular opinion without feeling like they're insensitive or bigoted. I feel no reason to apologize for the views I have, be it the transgendered issue or any other issue.

 

Just a reminder from the previous page.

Johns Hopkins Children's Pyschologists are bound to understand more about this than someone in this thread.

 

Human nature is this...we all can be whatever we want to be, if we want to...if I decided I wanted to be female, I could if I really wanted to because I would start researching how to become a female. I would practice walking as a female, moving like a female, I would desire being a female more and more everyday and I would keep feeding that desire until I looked and even felt like a female..

so, ultimately we all make choices on who we are in this life and if your happy with your choice than so be it, if not change. A human being is a very resilient and adaptable creature if it wants to be.

 

You’re right as a 6’2” 180 lbs. black male if I choose to identify with the name Napoleon Bonaparte I have every right to do so.

It is not about "deciding".

What an amateur way of interpreting both humanity and common sense.

Nature is not perfect, and anyone who states that it is has obviously not observed nature recently.

Nature messes up, and sometimes people are not created perfectly.

Nothing in life is perfect, and this idea that something must be "wrong" is correct only in the sense that you are wrong in your thinking that trans people abnormal.

 

Influence plays a huge role also

 

Influence by whom or what?

Don't make a retarded statement without backing it up.

If "influence" had had any effect on me, I would be straight today instead of gay. So there goes your fucking dumb "influence" theory right down the shitter.

 

Influence from tv, books, events in life, parents, siblings, teachers...everyone is influenced by everything that goes in your eyes or ears. Every person is a culmination of every influence we have had in our lives. Whether consciously or sub conciously

 

What a bunch of nonsensical, unsubstantiated hooey.

 

Right..

 

Yes, I am.

Nothing at all.

Psychologically, homosexuality was once considered abnormal.

Just because you cannot understand or personally identify, does not make it abnormal. It merely means that you are incapable of understanding anything outside your scope of comfort.

 

Like I have said before, I have no problem with who anyone is or what they want to be. I wish everyone would be who they are and be up front up about it...but I have had problems with people in my life, who wanted to make it my fault or that something was wrong with me, because they were homosexual and it would never work out because I am a female....but they were never honest enough with themselves to be honest with me, I guess...that is the only problem I have had about it...alot of pain could have been spared.....i respect you Fierce, for being who you are and not misleading anyone.
