Ask a transsexual anything

[Violet]

Violet, gender identity is psychological. If you believed you're a wolf, act like a wolf and live as a wolf and not a human, would that make you a wolf or a human? You may think that sounds stupid, it isn't. Google "feral human" and you will see there are unfortunate individuals who literally have a different "species identity" to their biological species. And what's more it's not unique to humans it can happen in nature.

Why would I not believe that? Ahhh, I remember an ex of mine claiming things like that, he used it as a justification for his actions. But I don't think that the condition of not psychologically being human doesn't exist.

I think it would make you a human-born wolf... just as an MtF transsexual is a male-born woman.

Interesting reply, I think you've failed to understand the issue. "Flatly Illegal?" Prostitution is legal in almost every single developed country, with the obvious exceptions of China and USA. And "even when those are all better, such illegality won't completely stop", seems to show your hesitation and resistance to allow a group of people that are readily discriminated against from joining in with your movement.

Green: Prostitution legal and regulated
Blue: Prostitution (the exchange of sex for money) is legal, but organized activities such as brothels and pimping are illegal; prostitution is not regulated
Red: Prostitution illegal
Grey: No data

My movement? Hehe, I want T out of the GLB movement because it has no place in it, just as prostitution would have no place in it. I'd be more willing to tack prostitution onto a Fisherman's Association than I would to tack it onto sexual and gender identity (wtf does it have to do with either? NOTHING!).

Guys ...(Zen and Daniel) I really think that this is the thread to talk about safety on our city streets. Go and make another thread and have your spurious arguments there hmm?

Nah, let them keep their spat here

Having said that....

How "safe" do you feel (as a Transsexual) walking the streets at night? Is it an issue at all?

Safer than in the day, most I have to worry about at night is rapists on campus... but then, if I didn't pass at all: I'd be extremely worried about being seen. I'm just lucky enough that if I don't draw particular attention to myself: I'll be seen as just another random woman on her way to a destination.
