So I am right,
I don't think it's dysfunctional... transpeople have it hard enough just with their state alone. And yet, the world seems to revel in making their lives even more horrible. Transgendered people are highly likely to be raped, are highly likely to be beaten, highly likely to be unemployed/employed seasonally, are nearly guaranteed to suffer endless verbal and emotional abuse as long as their trans-status is known or suspected, and have to face the reality that HRT and surgery and psychological evaluation is expensive and they might not always be able to afford it.
Hell, I'd have done it myself years and years ago if I didn't care how my mother would feel about it. I think adult transpeople are some of the coolest in the world, because they are a subset population who have made it through all of that, and as a result they have some of the most varied experiences and personalities of any subpopulation I know.

Nope. My parents hauled me through enough "therapy" for a lifetime.

Yep, that's the first intelligent thing you've said all thread. Not that all people with piercings and tats are violent or criminals though.
Oh, I wouldn't give him that much credit

Actually... you'd be surprised. It would make me completely comfortable with my body, and some who I've known to go through it are now completely comfortable with their bodies.
It's true that it isn't the end-all answer for everyone though. A small percentage even regret the surgery after they have it... usually due to it being bungled, but it's true that sometimes it's just not for someone. That's why nobody should ever be pressured into the decision. It has it's benefits for most of us, but if it isn't wholly their decision: then they shouldn't make it.
HRT, on the other hand, should have far less a barrier fo entry. Gatekeepers...

Of course, you mean the clear and evident problem of having a mismatched sex and gender.
Quote:Besides, how would you know what people commit suicide over? you're just guessing- I don't know for sure why they commit suicide, neither do you.
I would know
I might be wrong, but that's always the downfall of knowledge. Plenty of reasons to leave this world, the more it wrongs you: the more reason provided. If your life boils down to misery, and you can never see it rising above this and all it's doing is getting worse? The only reason to *not* commit suicide is if you have anyone/anything in the world that you care enough about to stay alive for.
If you do not have that, know I shan't blame you, and may you rest in peace.

Objection! I have one of the highest senses of self-confidence I know. I'm even often declared arrogant.
Breast augmentation, I believe it's called. Anyway, I don't need it, since I love how they feel already

nipple clamps, btw).

My stance in Objectifying Women is still my stance regarding that. Her rapist is still to blame, of course... but her clothing choices likely contributed to the event's occurrence.

I learned my morality from being someone's slave for some 4-something years, being briefly trafficked
(or made to feel that I was being so), having extremely conservative parents who in earlier times would beat me, and bullied at school from kindergarten on?
Then why am I a pacifist who comes to the defense of even a cat being raped, will condone bullying in no form, go out searching for people who have only been missing without speaking to me in spite of texting them after but two hour's wait, and am about as nonconservative as they come?
I didn't learn my all of my morality very well, according to your belief system.

Was she on Ecstasy?
I know I like getting intimate with other girls... but I am also completely open to sex should it come to that. There are such things as emotional relationships, perhaps she just really enjoys the emotional aspects of flirting, and isn't quite as interested in the sex as she is the proximity
(and oxytocin/seratonin blasting through her system).
The times I'd rather just be cuddling with than banging someone are vastly more common. But then, cuddling leads to touching and caressing, and those often lead to excitement and erotic stroking and nibbling, and once that starts sex is almost inevitable. Besides, it's way easier to open your heart to someone while cuddling than while fucking, and sometimes people just really need to talk. All sorts of amazing feelings come out of that

Maturely... or have I simply escaped it? Wake up, then you wake up, and then you wake up again, and you wake up once more, and you still haven't really woken up. What happened yesterday? Don't know... wake up, don't remember, wake up, I remember someth-wake up.
