I understand why people don't want threads like this one on this forum. And I think it wouldn't be helpful to have these types of discussions continually. Walling this off in a new forum, or "Media" isn't too great either though because those sub-fora just don't have the readership of this one. I'm hesitant to spend a lot of time writing something that will be seen by 10 people.
So I really think that the best answer is for discussions like this to pop up once in a while, then die down. I realize that isn't so much a rule as a flexible bending of the rules, provided people don't go nuts.
What I really wish we had here was a place to seriously discuss relationships and sexuality.
@arbon - I assert CDs have the same fundamental issue as transsexuals. Namely that society won't let either of us be true to ourselves without exacting a terrible price. The difference is transsexuals die if we don't pay the price, while they have the "luxury" of putting on a fake front indefinitely.
