I am actually bi, though have not been with a female for a long long time (since I was 17) but I could not be done with a person who looked like a man in all aspects but had a vagina, or vice versa. Just would be a huge turnoff for me.

I consider myself mostly straight now though tbh. I know sexuality does not change as such,. but its been a very long time since I was sexually interested in a female. Thats not just as I am married or in a long term relationship or anything as obviously I still fancy people besides my husband. I just have not seriously fancied a woman for ages, besides the usua 'shes really pretty' thought.



Basically, it seems that way. Chick with a dick is a very popular porn category actually, so it seems to be fairly popular in general


Yeah, I used to think my long time on the LGBT scene made me open minded. Until it turned out lesbians were afraid to tell me of their very real experience with 'transgender' people and their dicks. They were scared to tell me as apparently I was too 'right on' in my thinking and would have joined in with the 'transphobe' taunting. And I am ashamed to admit, I probably would have :S Given until about a year back, I saw nothing wrong with our moderation policy on 'transphobia' and would happily infract anyone who referred to say...Kellie Maloney, as he when on BB. Its only very recently that I challenged this policy and said basically, we are forcing people to have a certain view, a view that is NOT scientifically proven and is akin to a religion. So we are forcing one religion onto people by moderating in that way. I don;t know if the policy did change or not, but I refuse to subscribe to the view that people have souls and can be 'born in the wrong body' any longer, so if I get banned for this so be it tbh. 'Born in the wrong body' is a mental illness. If it eases the sex dysphoria to have surgeries to resemble the opposite sex, then good for you. But noone can ever 'change sex'.

I don't think its an extreme view that males cannot become female, and the other way around. But apparently..it really is?! Even though transsexual people readily admit that they are their biological sex, just want to be the opposite one. I have not met even one transsexual woman who believes they ARE female. This seems to be entirely driven by 'transgender' people, and more specifically, biological males who are straight and want to shag lesbians and enter female changing rooms.

I think people can have whatever view they want, so when you say, nobody can ever change sex, its subjective. If we look at it scientifically, under the assumption that to be a woman or a man, you have to have ovaries or testicles, your right, but you have to accept that science is not about certainty. Humanities is a fairly new and exciting subject.

Of course people can have whatever view they want. But to scream 'transphobe' at anyone who believe in what we currently know by science (maybe it will change in the future, who knows) is bloody ridiculous. And its whats happening, a lot.

I can see why people get agitated and defensive when transgender women start stomping their stiletto heels and demanding rights that they very probably shouldn't have but that lot don't tend to be transexuals. Transexuals tend to be a lot less in peoples faces and less likely to bring attention to themselves.

Why should we condemn and belittle transexuals because transgenders are making a fuss? Two friends of ours have a transexual son (born female). I can't even start to imagine how he would feel if someone said, "your not and never will be a real man". I just don't understand why anyone would want to make that a thing.

We have to be careful not to broadly condemn these people and we have to accept that each and every one of us will feel differently about transgender and transexual people.

As for lesbians being harassed by transgender 'lesbians', I completely understand their annoyance. Nobody should be intimidated by anyone.

We don't but these people have been using spaces associated with their chosen sex for years now (if they pass. if they don't they tend to use the areas for their actual sex, so as not to upset people) with little issue. Its been an honour system tbh. So why are laws required that say 'all male people have access to female areas'? Which SI whats being proposed. And is what I am pushing back against with all of my might as I see how detrimental this would be to females.

Why the need for 'self-identification' laws when transsexual people would be able to receive a GRC anyway by basis of having actual sex dysphoria, and 'living as' their chosen sex for 2 years?

The proposed changes to law will not help transsexual people at all. Nor do the actions of transactivists and 'transgender' people.

In the case of your friends son, I would never say to him that he will always be female, though I do think that. As I am a nice person and do not wish to upset anyone.
