No, not exactly - "lady boys" is a common term for transsexual prostitutes in Thailand and few other places known for sex tourism. I've heard stories of men using their services - either knowingly, or supposedly inadvertently, but never about women.

And I wasn't all that interested in the answer - I was just asking a stupid question, in order to match the tone of the thread...  But thanks anyway. Tongue

I recognized the tone of thread and your comment being in line with that. And yet it still stung to hear 'ladyboys' so I had to say something. Just like if I had used the N word (which in some places of the world is still used and accepted), you might get affronted at hearing me say that. In any case I just automatically revert to educating when people use terms like 'lady boys'. No worries!

Well done Luckie.
Now that you are free from religious dogmas why not continue your struggle to total freedom and peace of mind?
The journey to total freedom is long and arduous.
Freedom from religious dogmas are just a step forward.
More obstacles will have to be overcome.  Lightbulb

What?! There's more obstacles to overcome now??! 
What a downer. What are these obstacles? Do I need special five-toe shoes to get me through them or are my regular tennis shoes ok? Also, how would you know these obstacles when you yourself practice religion?

Fantastic post, couldn't agree more, of course.

And don't worry - I don't find it difficult or complicated at all to understand that a transgender female is a female like any other, and a transgender lesbian is a lesbian like any other. I find the whole 'transgender' thing very easy to grasp.
Thanks Evie it's a breath of fresh air to talk to someone such as yourself. I look forward o learning more about you!
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Little Rik shows the classic symptoms of profound narcissism. At its worst, the narcissist has very little cognitive understanding of anything, for being unable to learn from others on account that he has a history of believing he is perfect, therefore others have nothing to teach him. When confronted by reality, he melts down into a fit of rage, attempting to throw back everything which the world has told him, understanding little of what it means, and saying it for no better reason than he knows it burns.
Calling atheists "unscientific", "irrational", "morons", while understanding nothing - that's the narcissist for you! Telling a narcissist these things only gives him more shit to throw at others, and that's worse than a waste of time.


Unscientific and irrational yes.
Morons NO.
Your problem guys is not related to be low in intellect.
It is rather a question to refuse to open your intellect to reality.
You put a barrier between your consciousness and the consciousness behind this physical reality.
As simple as this.
Once a smart person realize that within this physical reality there can not be any permanent peace of mind and happiness he-she would look behind this universal reality.
You may well be intelligent but not smart at all.
What's the point to know what is written in books or to get a degree if at the end of this short life you achieve absolutely nothing?
Now let us talk about narcissism.
Narcissism is build on something that does not really exist while by practicing yoga you build something
real that stay with you all the time.
Capisci?  Lightbulb

Oh, so now you admit it's you who's unscientific and irrational, not us? So at least you're making a step forward for every 2 steps back.
Mr. Hanky loves you!

If they like men, that is still a female with a male and thusforth can be considered a heterosexual or homosexual relationship based upon what they want. Humanity is more colors of the rainbow than black and white and we should be free to be up we want to be, no matter an M or F on a piece of paper. We (LGBT) have been around since the dawn of man I'm sure. 15k species of animals have been observed practicing homosexuality and the more social the animal, the more pertinent it is in the well being of their society. Some species could not survive, without it.  It's just so difficult and different for others to wrap their minds around so they didn't give much of a fuck about anyone else and decided to ban that which they don't understand. Personally I'm a pansexual. I am attracted to all genders in all bodies. Mostly my husbands'! My sexuality doesn't really matter socially because I am a biological female and he's biological male/bisexual. So from the "outside" we are accepted. Still I have family (my mom whose realized late in life that she's a lesbian) and my catholic cousin--who have struggled with their identities their entire lives! It's a goddamn nightmare (I should know), growing up Christian and being LGBT. I ended up with NO respect for myself, constantly felt like I needed to be punished, constantly in a state of begging for my well being/good standing and salvation in gods eyes, and as a result I had zero idea about physical boundaries, and I was an easy target for sexual, emotional, and physical abuse. I just try to spread the word nowadays.. About what Ive learned about the world around me and myself. God made us how we are so we owe him a debt and are punished in life and after for it? I don't fucking think so. When i realized I was who I was and I couldn't change it--a freedom of mind happened and I will NeVer look back to the prison that was my mind on religion.

Ps John Oliver is a genius and if you haven't seen ALL his videos, you're missing out on an important part of life itself! ^_^


Gee, i never thought about it.  Think
You guys open a new intellectual sky to me.

I will never be thankful enough to you for giving me all these great tips.  Thanks
