This says a lot. Because you would much rather be something you are not does not make you what you wish to be. I would much rather be a midget. I 'self-identify' as a midget so is it justifiable if I go around identifing myself as a midget? A midget trapped in a average height body?

Jokes about oneself do not a lot say

Neither does swapping words around in a sentence.

Yes they do. My queries (no pun intended) are still there.

Everything says something - just not about god

But everything Dotard says is an intangible construct made of language, definitions and perceptions and since he is God everything he says is about God.

Thou hast earned a place in my paradise.

You have even earned your own harem of five virgins. Here they are;

I was saving the short one on the right for Frodo, but i think I can do uglier.

LOL

I think that's a beautiful metaphor for Islam. Promises virgins? Sorry, account inactive.

Righto.

If you self-identified as a midget, then you would be a midget (at least in your view). If you lived your life as though you were a midget, and constantly hit your head on things as a result, then you would be experiencing a similar problem as transexuals.

To (hopefully?) better explain it:

Simply, if you experience yourself as being a midget, despite having the physical characteristics of an average height person: you are a "midget trapped inside the body of some weird tall person".

My reality is that I'm a girl, all that others' not seeing me as such does is depress me :S My body is that of a man... but my body is not a part of who I am, at least not yet. I think I've explained this before in another thread? :S

Can't find it :S Still looking though, I'll post this prior to my finding it, and when i find it I'll replace this sentence. I could have sworn it had something to do with "You aren't smelly, your body is"

Edit: I geif up :S It's possible i might have to go through it again n I thought i was having that discussion with Evie only a month or two ago :S Gah!

Sae,

How does this statement, "...but my body is not a part of who I am..." even make sense? What is a female neuron? Why would you see it as a major flaw in your body and not a minor error in brain structure?

I'm truly interested in this. I've thought of myself as a female before and was talked out of it rather abruptly by a friend. I'm not saying it is the same thing, but I do seem to share more mental states with females than males. One of the most noticable is my need to speak more words than most of the males around me.

I'm convinced I am a man in a man's body, but I also acknowledge a difference in the function of my brain. I have yet to seek professional assessment, but might get around to it someday.

This conversation should probably be split into a "Transexual" thread; it seems a bit weird to keep it in the "Porn" split.

Because my brain is who i am... all of my personality, experiences, knowledge, emotions, and logic are my brain. That's all I am... and so while you might see it as a 'minor flaw in my brain structure'... that to me is saying that it is a flaw in who I am :S I like who I am... I only want to change my body so it matches who i am more :S
