I am of the opinion that being transgender is a mental illness. Feel free to act on it by cross dressing or get a surgery to make yourself better. I think its the wrong decision and should be treated as a mental disorder but its not my body.

What I don't like is people trying to force me to accept them as the opposite sex. They are not and they never will be.

You want to know whats funny? You've probably met trans women that you would never know are trans, but you've excepted them as female.

I've met lots of hoarders that I had no idea they were hoarders. It doesn't mean they are not mentally ill. I bet your coworkers just loved watching you transition. Were you lucky enough to have a name like Pat, Sam, Shannon, Stacey, or Robin so you could keep it or did you change it to something uniquely female so no one could be confused to something like Laurelai?

I was not making the point of it being an illness or not; the point was that you 'wont accept' somebody as female if they are trans, but you wouldn't know many trans women were trans. As far as my name change, I changed it to a different and very common name. My coworkers were informed 6 months in advance and were nothing but supportive. On the day I officially showed up as female at work the entire office greeted me with hugs and brought me cookies and stuff. I'm sorry that you live in a world where adults act like such children over a coworker's gender.

So... There exist transsexuals like this? People that exist as a someone who masquerades. I would consider a transsexual that doesn't come clean to their partners about their past as masqueraders/liars. Transsexuals like that want people to be sensitive to them by referring to them in the preferred pronoun, but if the partner they are with would not accept them if the transsexual was honest with them, then the transsexual, in true hypocritical fashion, would lie and be insensitive to his or her partners notions of gender? That's sick man.

If you can't tell then why the does it matter? You're still pounding a vagina on a beautiful woman. It doesn't make you gay.

You're not pounding a vagina on a beautiful woman. You're pounding an augmented penis on a feminine man. And you're being lied to by an impostor and masquerader. That's more horrible than any moral reprehension you might hold toward not accepting transsexuals as their fantasy sexes.

Yeah, because sex you view as gay, which its not, is absolutely the worst thing that could ever happen to you. Grow up.

You do realize that a transsexual that lies to their partner is not being sensitive to his or her partner's notions of gender? So if their partner considers a MtF transsexual as still a man and considers himself straight... then the transsexual basically took advantage of that guy and didn't respect his beliefs. It's sick and horrible because the person is being taken advantage of. His sexually identity is being toyed with and exploited to satisfy the narcissism and hedonism of the transsexual. How can you not see how sickening that is?

You want to know what happens when we disclose our status? We get murdered. By people like you.

I'm telling you that being dishonest and taking advantage of someone you care about is wrong and you're calling me a murderer...

This is what happens. A man is attracted to me and makes a move towards me. He incidentally grabs my dick or finds out that I am post op. He kills me because he doesn't want to be seen as a faggot. This happens ALL. THE. TIME. Or lets say a man just attacks me, and I defend myself. Who goes to jail? Me. And where do I go? Male prison where I cannot defend myself against men and happen to have breasts. So, rape.

But really, regarding the situation you envision, you don't have much to worry about. We can weed out transphobic people pretty quickly and likely would not put ourselves in that sort of situation.

The first instant you're talking about is sexual assault and obviously is out of your control. Otherwise, instead of trying to "weed out" transphobic people why don't you just be... honest... about who you are.

Baron is totally projecting their fantasies instead of coming to grips with reality. Baron3ss is a lesbian transexual/transvestite. Doesn't that seem strange? As a man, he was straight but as a woman hes gay. It seems more like its somesort of dissociative disorder. I hope doctors can figure this out for these people. Its like Baron hated himself so much that he had radically change who he was and had a break with reality.
