because trans is another word for homosexuality
aka mental illness
see @Techpriest
you're inherently wrong here
although so am i to an extent
i thought people were a lot more accepting of trans people than they actually are
this was quite a shock to me
however, just as i have surrounded myself with people who are accepting, you've surrounded yourself with people who aren't
we both created an echo chamber for ourselves
but no you are wrong
in this situation
i personally would most likely never date a cis person - not because i hate cis people, but because they would most likely never be understanding of me and what i've gone through
just like those people who say "i accept normal gay people, but not those who flaunt it around"
who are you to define normal?!
I don't mind if somebody is open or proud about their sexuality, whatever. I do, however, find people whose sexuality is their personality to be incredibly obnoxious
Yeah see but would you do that for straight people who do the same?
It's like that dude at your lunch table who always talks about how many girls he bangs, it's annoying and obnoxious
Like straight men who objectify women?
Absolutely, 100%
See that I can respect
You don't attempt to excuse anyone
I was under the idea most people hold my position, i suppose not?
It's that when people usually say that
They would encourage such behaviour if it were a straight male friend of theirs
So it's just an extension of one's homophobia, without them being directly homophobic
As for objectification, I think it's more of a matter of maturity and timing. If you see a cute girl / guy and say to a friend "Wow, that person is cute," then whatever, but if you run down the road screaming "OH YEA SO SEXY" then it's just a failure to conduct yourself maturely in public
I will, however, say that I've noticed the trait above is more common in those within the LGBT community as opposed to those without it. I believe it has something to do with the concept of an "in group," etc. I've found it more common for, say, a gay men to have his sexuality be a huge portion of his personality, then a straight man. That's just my personal experience, so you can take it with a grain of salt
I mean I see it more as being gay is more easily noticeable as an outsider because, to you, it's not "normal"
So what may not come off as flaunting to a gay person, may be so to a straight person and vice versa
The same with trans and cis people
I don't mean mannerisms, I mean literal immediate sexual innuendo comments within minutes of interacting, but I understand your point
Once again, just my experience.
Another thing I'm also incredibly hesitant with, since we are on the topic of gender in general, are gender related surgeries
specifically ones involving genitalia. The complication rate is high and complications are debilitating. The risk just seems to outweigh the gain so drastically.
I've done extensive research personally on this specific topic, and seen more mutilated crotches then I ever thought I would. Ulcers, tears, fistulas, infection, required revisions, loss of all sexual function. It's terrible.
Yeah that's an issue of the doctor being shit
There are surgeries which do go extremely well
However you are right, there are far too many risks
The vast majority are. The most popular, from what I can gather, is from one specific doctor in thailand of all places
Hey the Thai must know their shit
