I'm totally open to the idea of sexual fluidity. I'm a straight male but I'd probably suck off a good looking guy out of pure curiosity... I don't find the idea "horrific" or anything but I just happen to be someone who (so far, I guess?? ) is only sexually attracted to females.

Err...

I guess my point is, the idea that they are doing something "wrong" by not wanting to have sex with any individual for ANY reason, is just bizarre. As I said I'm straight... Does that mean my 62-year-old female colleague could get me fired for ageism for refusing to bang her?

So yeah. This is more about a nasty individual looking for attention than anything to do with gender identity.

I can't agree that transsexuals aren't "real" transsexuals unless they have or plan to have reassignment surgery. It's not as simple as snippety snip, it's a major medical procedure so - even for people who would "want a vagina" if it was as simple as that - there are other health implications and considerations. Structurally female brains in male bodies (and vice versa) is a real thing. Verifiable. People should have the right to live as they choose and in the way that makes them comfortable without being "forced" into a medical procedure.

However, along the same lines, they certainly don't have the authority or the right to tell other people that they're "not lesbianing properly", or anything else.

I am not advocating forcing anyone into a medical procedure. However I do think that unless you have taken genuine steps towards 'becoming' (for want of a better word) the gender you are..you should not be classed as said gender. Out of respect I would use the correct pronouns and such when talking/to about transpeople (except this scumbag)..but the likes of using female changing rooms and such..I disagree with if you simply 'identify' as that gender. There was a case not long ago where a MTF trans took some womens refuge type place to court for refusing her a position based on her not having grown up as a woman and therfor not knowing about the experiences and such that they spoke about at said group, along with said group being vulnerable people who had been abused by men. I guess what I don't understand is why there isn't a bit more..consideration in many case rather than instant cries of 'transphobia' and such
