I admit that I'm glad that Naysha had a nice evening. I admit that I hope she gets all the help she needs with her medical issues. *hugs of a gentle nature* I admit that I haven't gone to the thread that hausboy mentions and it seems that it's best that I don't. *hugs for you* I admit that I don't understand a lot about transgendered persons and all that they go through before, during and after their transition, but I certainly don't write mean things about that process or them. I admit that I know 2 people who have changed their bodies (sorry, I don't know the terminolgy), and one was a kid I went to high school with. She used to identify as a boy, but I know her now as a woman. The other was a neighbor that I didn't know very well to begin with, who made a fast enemy out of me because he was a dumbass. When Thing 2 was much younger, I was calling for her to come inside for dinner one evening. My neighbor decided to tell her that Thing 2's name used to be his "when he was a girl." If that weren't enough, he proceeded to lift his shirt and said, "See? This is where they cut my boobies off." Thing 2 was horrified, and I very nearly went rabid on him. I know that this is not typical behavior for a transgendered person, but rather the inappropriate ramblings of an asshole. I admit that telling such a thing, and displaying one's surgical scars to a 7 yr old, was more than I could take, and informed my neighbor to stay the fuck away from my kids. That decision came from his actions with my child, not because of his decision to align his physical attributes to his gender. I admit that there is a lot of hate being spewed about many groups today. Wolfbane, anyone?
