I agree Jords.

I've wondered that. Whether a lot of them are people who don't like the "gay" tag and so think they should be the opposite sex.

But I think the gender disorder can sometimes have nothing to do with their sexuality. I mean there was a woman in the paper's who was a straight woman but wanted to be a man, thus making her a gay man. It is confusing.

I still can't quite believe this 5 year old though. I mean one of my cousins went through a small phase of playing with dolls when he was 4 or 5. His mates always poke fun after they saw photos. But he's grown up, got married and had kids. What if they'd slapped a tag on him at 4 years of age? Just a disgrace, the parents should be ashamed.

Youre a boob.

My example was OF A stereotypical gay man/woman. I did not say all gay men/women act stereotypically.

Dont get offended over something not offensive.

Where's lostalex's post gone? :rolleyes:

Who am I? You have a short memory. :hugesmile:

I'm not worried, just wondered where it had gone because when I refreshed the page the second page was added and I hadn't read your reply.

obviously. you sound friendly though, so i think i should be embarrassed to not know. yur not on my friends list though...

add me so i can remember.

I dont think its as simply as 'I dont wanna be gay, I must be a woman' thought. I think its deep down in the unconscious that they have decided they cant possibly be or dont want to be known as gay/lesbian and they need another option for their behaviour and thoughts, and thats being transgender.

And Ive heard many cases about that. It is really confusing and perhaps its something much more complex I dunno. But my suggestion is that perhaps a straight tomboy is so masculine they latch onto the idea of being transgender and convince theirself they must be but as they are straight it means theyd become a gay man. When maybe they just cant accept that they are just a masculine woman. In their head its not right. Or something.

Completely agree with your last comment :worship:
Its not that unusual at all really. They have took it too far. Maybe they wanted a daughter :S

I've changed my signature. Maybe that's why. We've had a few... ahem... "run-ins".

added, got you on the "no attack" list now :P

sorry if i sounded confrontational :P

do i have a nasty habit of being defensive, i need to work on that ;)

We were talking about male/female brains. I used a stereotypical gay man as an example to suggest do they have a female brain? And a stereotypical lesbian woman as an example to suggest do they have a male brain? I personally dont think they do as I think its more to do with nuture than nature why brains differ.

Therefore I dont believe a man can be trapped in a woman's body and vice-versa. Thus I dont believe in transgender. I believe they think they are but thats it.

If I was gender confused I would not want a sex change op because you were, escuse the cleshé, born that way, and I am sure there are other alternative options you could use. There is also the possibility that you might have future regrets and it will be too late to change your mind.
