The Crying Game / TRANSGENDER DISCUSSION

[blueberryhill]

Thanks Hair, this case rings a bell, but will check it out. I am somewhat stubborn on my views~~guess u call that being opinionated, but I have always believed (well for a long time anyway) that we are born with many propensities that define us or don't make much of a difference either way. So goes the theory of nature versus nurture. Of course, your environment is going to affect who you become as an adult and yet we know that for example serial killers have siblings that don't become murderers, etc....and so it goes.....If you have ever observed a newborn nursery, you will see and hear fussy, crying babies, while some just sleep peacefully.....some rare studies followed these babies throughout (study when I was in school in 1970's) so I can't vouch for veracity,
but end result showed happy babies at birth were happy adults and fussy babies were more unsettled as adults. This is in spite of different environments....
I 100% believe that some personality traits we inherit regardless of nurture; the "happier" child will thrive more in a negative environment, while the anxious, fussy child will continue to be so with adjustments made for environment. I don't know how we got to this point, but I love talking about this subject. I have always been fascinated by human behavior and trying to figure out and explain behaviors. I do think we agree more than we disagree, but appreciate your knowledge and input. Some (a lot) believe being gay is a choice and that really rattles my chains.... Cheers!
