Re: Is this an Autobot or Decepticon Transgender

Ok then, I'll bite just one more time as it has been a slow support day....

"I'll reiterate, again, the point you don't seem to understand blah blah blah hence my suggestion that you revise your working model to acknowledge these conditions and realities."

There is conflicting scientific information out there, I am looking at the biology of the situation and not the metaphysical or psychological aspects. May I suggest that you revise your working knowledge to deal with one point at a time. Otherwise we take this to the ridiculous - if you think you are a kettle does that make you a kettle?

"You seem to expect that transgendered people should have to wear some sort of badge to indicate that they are Not Normal - why exactly do you have an issue with them being treated by their gender identity where this differs from their birth gender?"

Telling me how I think is a bit odd, you don't know me or know how I think. I have said that honesty is the most important thing. I would want to know if my partner was transgendered / murderer / apple user / so that I can make my own decision at the time. If you build a relationship on omission then you are not been honest. By getting offended at my honesty you are showing that you are not as tolerant as you think you are. Also, I have no issue with them, if you want to call yourself a teapot then great, but it doesn't actually make you a teapot. I guess this wouldn't ever be an issue if you was honest and upfront.

First point - agreed, it's not as simple as it at first appears but a large portion is perception, and perception is an individual thing. As I have said if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it might not actually be a duck.

Second point - Honesty is always the best policy, not just in relationships but in life. If you can be honest with yourself and people around you then you have won gold - no matter what your preference/gender assignment/employment history.

Third point - physical violence is the tool of the pikey, those that cannot debate or use logical reason usually resort to this. It is pathetic and all forms of man \ women \ trans bi \gay resort to this. it is not a hetrosexual response to problems.

I never thought that this would be so controversial - The only real issue is the 19 years of what could be described as lies and deceit.

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH

You seem to want to write an essay on this just because someone disagrees - You seem to want to provoke me with your "Do try and keep up." excrement. People have different views, get over yourself and move on. Your diatribe seems to mention everything except people who have a prejudice against people with OCD.

Maybe the XY chromosome isn't the best point, but it is valid in almost all cases, having skimmed the site that Michelle Knight posted and a couple of others

Re: Is this an Autobot or Decepticon Transgender

"They do it to become physically what they are mentally"

But for some men this doesn't change the fact that their partner has an X and a Y chromosome, if this hasn't been disclosed then you have every right to be very pissed off.

Try to leave emotion out of debates like this as it has clouded your scientific minds.

Right, brain engaged - but unfortunately the cold hard logic part of the brain that deals with science and stuff and not the emotional part of the brain that screams lies all lies

1. No, my partner would still be a man, no matter what their outward appearance is. This is not a case of if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.

2. Not just Lester's choice of focus in the article but the focus of every journalist that has covered this case. But that's what journo's do. Otherwise were is the story? Shocker as Belgian mans marriage fails after reading txt.
