melissa makes a great point...it is a deep need for transsexuals to express who they are...and all that "stuff" for transsexuals is an expression of ...transsexuality..
but its also a deep need of other gender conflicted people of all stripes.
you can say who cares, i know who i am..but because its such a deep need, i care about what i am and am not...
and i reserve the right to say that if a person enjoys and embraces having male parts, and actively intends to keep them and enjoying them, or live half their life male just because they want to, than they are different than me...
and it doesn't feel right to have that person push me to say this is not true... and it's sad when i say this that some people feel like it's a slight .....
i am pretty sure that if i was in a room with most of you talking about this we could have a much easier conversation btw... forum discussions are not always pretty.
