I like how I basically wrote this article. =)

“maybe if the world wasnt so obsessed with socializing gender specific behavior early on and seperating sexes as if they were alien to each other, maybe Transexuals wouldnt think they were born imperfect and needed to cut away genitals.”

No, it wouldn’t make any difference.

“maybe Transexuals wouldnt think they were born imperfect and needed to cut away genitals. I know that Transexuals are people too, but I’ll never understand why some choose surgery…it seems like a cop out. I’m very confused by them.”

That says a lot more about you than it does transsexuals, think about it.

@VirginiaHam:
Well, confusion is normal. But so are we. it is not so simple as to be some effect of latent gender binary beating us around the head and shoulders. This is more about who we are.

I am not imperfect. I am just fine. I just need some surgery to correct a birth defect. Some people are born with 6 fingers on a hand, often the 6th is removed. This is not good or bad it just is. This is very little different. And adjustment to the whole. I am quite happy with me. I don’t look down and get upset about having a “penis” but I am not thrilled with it either.

Does that make sense?

My gender presentation has always meant more to me.

Tina: agreed!

I do appreciate that Queerty includes trans issues and articles, but sometimes the terminology used is in discord with the message as a whole.

*headdesk*

When will queerty see trans people as more than the sum of their genitals? Or iz there a different person responsible for titling articles than writing them? Cuz the article itself isn’t that bad, but the title shows just how out of the loop you are.

Matt, I don’t think I’ve heard anything like that expressed before, EVER! Fascinating. But you’re doing a little bragging there, aren’t you? LOL

I ALWAYS knew I was special! LOL Lucky I guess ’cause I always liked the genitals I had. And so did the other little boys I knew when I hit puberty. We knew we had to keep quiet about it in the town where I lived then, but we were all on each other like flies on shit. LOL That was REALLY special. Ah puberty.

I realized I wanted different genitals when I would constantly sit on my own testicles.
