Venting.

I'm still trying to get the girls in my life to understand "my brain works like yours(especially after being on hormones for so long), and it always did." And the guys to realize "my brain DOESN'T work like yours, never did."

I hate to admit it, but I think the understated and underlying source of male trepidation is that they fear you're going to come onto to them.

Probably. Again, too much porn.

Not necessarily. Ever watch Nip/Tuck?

I have not.

That was one of the major plot points in S3, I think. It was definitely before S5, which is when the show just sucked.

I'm a bit confused, what was a plot point?

I don't want to drop spoilers. I'll just say that a heterosexual character goes through a time dealing with feelings for a transgender woman. It was rather poignant.

Oh, I see... I like stories like that.

I agree with Logos, I think that is the underlying fear some people have.

I am going to get in the habit of calling you Brooke.

She'll always be TJ to me. Just like Nox is..........Nox.


New vent. WTF is up with this week? I'm usually a one tall-cup-o-coffee drinker a day. But every day this week I've needed a second cup about 3:00 to make it the rest of the day. UGH! Just can't even.

I don't think you meant this maliciously, but that's a bit unfair to say. Not all women are cis, and having "male" genitals doesn't mean I'm not a woman.

 

I didn't mean it maliciously at all. I will add this will probably get a negative reaction on here but it is not personal to you and I have nothing personal against you or transgenders.

I don't think traditional terms such as man or woman needs to be changed and people shouldn't be forced to use labels they don't agree with.

I am a man and I don't need to apologize for that or say I'm a cis man, just as you don't feel the need to say you are a trans woman (I believe that is your view).

The bathroom thing as far as you TJ is concerned is a non point to me, you look like a young lady so of course you use the woman's restroom. I add young because you look young not trying to be belittling.

If I, a 47 year old man decide I am a trans woman and really don't change my appearance or take hormones, as would be my right, tried to use a woman's restroom all the time then yes there could be a problem. And if the women in the restroom have a problem it is not fair to say F them it is their problem not mine.

I have no problem with how anybody lives their life as long as they are not harming others. To be transgender is not harming others so I could care less, no different to me then my neighbor smoking weed in his garage every day. I'm still friends with him because he is a great guy, and I'm sure if we were neighbors we would be friends also. But that doesn't mean I have to use the term cis anything to describe a man or woman.

I hope this makes sense with our offending anybody because trust me that is not my intent. It is Ok to disagree with each other on things and still be friends. Hell me and some of my friends don't agree on a lot.

No disagreement here, you basically proved my point. Thank you.

Oh my GOD! There's a tranny in the bathroom!
