The Crying Game / TRANSGENDER DISCUSSION

[HairOfTheDog]

When someone feels that they are a female trapped in a male's body or vice versa that doesn't just simply mean they are gay. My sister is gay and she doesn't want to be a man, she's perfectly happy with her vagina and breasts, she just happens to be physically and mentally attracted to women. It's not the same thing.

Yeah, I don't think all people who claim to be transgender or have been diagnosed as such are gays who are uncomfortable with their homosexuality either (maybe some of them are -- I have no way of knowing).

Look at Chaz Bono. For years, he was a lesbian woman with girlfriends and he coached others on how to come out. Now, he's a transgendered man with a fiancee.



He wasn't an in-denial lesbian when he transgendered. He transgendered because he always felt like he was male even though his body was female. He appears to be happy since the transition.

I don't know if Bruce Jenner is gay. He seems to have had genuine heterosexual love for his wives. Maybe he's gay though and was just ashamed to come out. Or, maybe he's bi-sexual. Or, maybe he's just a straight guy who always wanted to be a woman and so now he's gonna become a lesbian. He hasn't disclosed his reasons publicly and it's none of my business anyhow.

P.s. Don't get all hot under the collar Donovan. I'm calling Bruce a "he" because Bruce hasn't changed his name or disclosed that he has gender dysphoria or asked to be called a "she" or anything. It would be presumptuous of me to pretend that I know his preferences or that he'd be offended by a two-letter pronoun during his time of transition.
