Sae,

I bet it was hard to tell people, I can only imagine! For the record I think transgenderism is delusion. I don't think any less of you and have at least hardwired myself to just roll with whatever someone else wants to refer to themselves as. Like I said, "You are Sae to me, a girl on the forums..."

Transgenderism doesn't interest me, I am neither attracted nor repulsed. It seems to be a form of self-mutilation brought on by body dysmorphic disorder. The only thing that interests me about it is a similarity to my own issue. I have wanted to sever my left hand and can point to the exact spot where I would cut. It really acts up when I am stressed. I have stood in my kitchen with a knife poised to slice right through, but always manage to restrain myself. I learned there was a name for this specific disorder from Maxim, of all places! I can't remember or find the name of the disorder but it was funny for me to see they had a name for it!

/confusion...

/facepalm...

To respond or not? That is the question...

Sae,

I hear you, and just re-read my post realizing that it could come off harsh. It wasn't an argument, just an incomplete inventory of my thoughts on the subject. Whatever confusion you have I would be glad to talk about. I may come off as an uncultured troglodyte, but I refuse to support anything simply because it is popular, or because voicing my lack of support would solicit a negative response. I live for honesty and I honestly just don't get it.

Respond here, don't respond, or take it to PMs if you would rather talk there, your choice.

You think that transgenderism is a delusion.... why?

You think that transgenderism is a delusion.... why?

I didn't see it either because I wasn't looking and don't care about your gender identity. To me your are simply a pleasant,witty and smart personality on a forum,who seems like a decent person. What else do I need to know?

Sadly,in choosing to share that information,you will always come across ignorant dropkicks who will say stupid and hurtful things. Ignore the fools;you have no obligation to defend or explain yourself to others.

When people say "I'm honest and value honesty" they are often lying, deluded or just ignorant.What they mean is "I'm blunt,insensitive and lack empathy". EVERYONE lies,about once every ten minutes,it's only a matter of degree.

People lie. So what? People in general are the sum of all parts, including the lowest common denominators. That has no bearing on Sae or anyone else declaring what they are, for whatever reason. This 'delusion' talk reeks of something foul, as if I can imagine an argument claiming that homosexuality is a delusion. Fact is, someone has associated themself with a group and identifies with it, just like many of us identify as atheists on this here forums. Ignoring who or what someone is because you want to remain pure is, in my humble opinion, "just dumb" and attempts to steer clear of any controversy. Deal with them for who they are. Training tolerance requires that which you are not familiar with.
