Trannies are disgusting, I am genetically predisposed to going to town on them with a baseball bat.
However, the amount that this man is offended, makes me think he is probably in the closet or something lol.[/quote]
Not in the closet, but my dad is a clinical therapist and I’ve heard a fair number of stories. Also, I had a likeable friend of a friend who is gay go to a party where nobody knew he was gay and then get beat into surgery after a couple of bigger guys at the party were told. He broke several bones because of intolerance. I just figure everyone should do their part to stop as much intolerance as possible, cause there’s no reason to get hurt.
And why is it necessary to “go to town on them with a baseball bat?” They’re humans who wanna be happy, like you…[/quote]
Not saying I would beat them with a baseball bat. I’ve been around 2 trannies, and that is how I’ve felt. Their smell is what truly offends me, it is confusing to the senses if they are undergoing hormonal surgery, and make something subconscious and instinctual make me want to kill them.
I don’t act on that, but I think you’re dilluting yourself, if you don’t acknowledge that many men feel basically uncomfortable or angry towards trannies.
I don’t think this feeling is entirely culturally based.[/quote]
I believe that feeling (which I used to experience) is based almost solely on fear. Probably just fear of the unknown, but maybe something else.
I also believe that if my mind and existence started in a female body, I would’ve had a troubling childhood and rough life until I was allowed to “become” male.

I honestly don’t care enough to try to change the medical definition of the disorder.
My estimation though, is just because people do crazy ish, does not make it a valid thing. In the same way we can argue day and night whether or not there is or isn’t a soul. We can also argue whether gender is determined by physical characteristics, socialization or some sort of ‘mind-gender.’
I don’t know, and I don’t science has much empirical evidene to prove the point either way.
What I do know is there are people who also think they are leopards or birds. They are in insane asylums.
Or closer to home, if I went to the Doctor and said, I feel I am meant to be more masculine, a veritable werewolf of a man…give me male hormones! They would discredit my desire as not socially acceptable. But if I said, I WANT BITCH TITS, I WANT TO BE A FEMALE, GIVE ME A VAG, LOWER MY TESTERONE! Obama would give me a damn job!
I think that we should focus on confronting that hypocrisy, rather than debating the veracity of transexuality or not.
For me, all that matters is…was he/she the most qualified candidate? Probably not, her oddity was to get Obama political points from the left.
In this case I disagree with it.

Not really sure what exactly you are talking about because it is NOT a disorder. If everyone would just take 3 minutes and look this up, this discussion could be over. Biologically and chemically transexuals’ brains are most like the sex/gender that they would like to be. It’s been tested and proven over and over. I just spent 5 minutes making sure I wasn’t arguing BS that I’ve heard… not that hard.
And I don’t really understand this hypocrisy you are talking about… not really the same at all… And maybe she wasn’t the most qualified and it was a political move, but I’m pretty sure being transgendered isn’t her only qualification. [/quote]
So they can chemically test feelings now? Most of this brain science crap, is well crap. It lacks empirically backing and scientific method. Not unlike the ‘Chemical Imbalance’ non-sense they use to sell pharm drugs…when ironically they cannot take values for these imbalances but only gauge by symptons.
Science is politicized, while it is the best tool we have, one must know when they are dealing with fact or political slant.
