With regard to you saying, Now you saying that society should not make a big deal of gender... (for ease of reading and flow,NocturnalStalker your comments will be in italics) I am proposing our society consciously recognize the emphasis we place on gender. At this moment we are not doing so. ...it is a little hard simply because this is how the world has "worked" for so long. If i could reword your statement, to say this, it is a little hard simply because this is how the "Westen" world has "worked" for so long. I would agree with your statement, as I said before, Gender and the perception of gender is the foundation of our consumerist society. There are and have been, other societies who are not are narrow minded. While there can be strides taken to try and diminish the importance, there will be someone like me that questions, "If gender is not such a big deal, why should a transsexual-minded person care what they are in the end? I expect when the day comes that we do not have a consumerist society or when we place less emphasis on who has a penis and who has a vagina, the transsexual person would not care what gender they are in the end. I suspect the transsexual person will acquire a new label and a new identity. In other cultures we are seen as councilors of a sort. We are seen as two spirited and facilitators of communication between men and women. I would love to see that happen again. As you know, our society believes you need to have a certificate to be a couples councilor . In my opinion, what needs to be recognized, is that transgender people are required, perhaps even forced make a decision to gain some level of social acceptance in a Western/Consumerist society. Tragically, only some of us actually experience the post operation acceptance. At five years old, I did not care what my appearance or body was shaped like. Society imposed those values and beliefs on me. If you have a penis, you behave like this. If you have a vagina, you behave like this. Really? Seriously? Well if you insist, please take the penis it is not important enough to me to change my behavior and belief system. If we want an inclusive society based on two genders and only TWO genders, is it not appropriate to help and encourage people to find their place in those two genders, even if means surgery. A woman will get breast implants to look more feminine. A man will get hair implants to look more masculine. A woman will inject chemicals into her body to look more youthful, and men with take steroids to look more muscular. People will get laser eye surgery to see better. I just don't want a penis and testicals We are all manipulating our bodies to find acceptance and companions. If our society deems these is how our society needs to be structured, then our society needs to flexible and recognize some people need to be able to shuffle around in order to fit those molds. If society keeps treating me like a woman, is it not better I am a woman. Is it not healthier for me to feel inner peace. When I or anyone has inner peace we productive members of our society. Shouldn't they simply just be happy with what they are given? I was not born a masochist. Why should I be happy with being societies punching bag. Why should I not be entitled to the benefits our society offers. Why should I be teased, assaulted, abused, murdered, or pushed to the point of suicide because of perceptions. I believe when the day comes that we do not have a consumerist society or when we place less emphasis on who has a penis, and who has a vagina, SRS will be a non issue. We are not their yet. And don't see it being their in the foreseeable future. In a world that is focusing on the economy, oil, and wars, social acceptance of the biblically perverse, is a non issue. Tragically this is how some of us forced to survive, to find acceptance, to find love to be a member of this society.
