My father died when I was 13 and I was not close to my mom at all. She said that if I talked about it any more she would kill herself and take my younger sister with her. My father knew I was different from day 1 and he protected me. What do you think he felt about it ?
I've noticed that many radical feminists have had the same prejudices against transexuals that religious fanatics have. Isn't that ironic? I've heard feminists claim that gender is socially constructed so they believe that male-to-female transexuals are men who are caught up in gender sereotypes and that everyone should be unisex. The religious nuts, of course, take the opposite tactic of claiming that gender is ordained by God and can't be questioned. Gender is an innate personal identity.
Exactly,one that you really cant control. The distinction between people who imitate feminine traits and those who have feminine traits. The gays who hate other gays because they are feminine. Many lesbians see it as "constructed" because many of them aren't the slightest bit feminine and quite often are totally masculine.
@darliegoddess I believe a lot of the most radical feminists are women who are naturally androgynous or even closet transexuals who are confusing their feminism with this ideology of cultural construction of gender. That way they don't have to confront their own gender identity issues. They can do this by pretending that everyone is basically unisex or that femininity is an expression of an oppressive female sex role. I suspect that there is some deep seated denial and resentment at work here.
I don't object to it, but I'm bothered by the concept of physical traits being deemed integral to personal identity. It limits humanity to the purely biological. The capacity to change the outward appearance of these traits may seem to represent a liberation from biology, but I think the NEED to do so that transgendered individuals attest to (and demonstrate by willingness to go through the difficulty and expense) brings it back to entrapment. I find the possible implications depressing.
I'm sorry but where you get the impression this was ever considered "liberation " from biology is beyond me. The statement assumes you know biology and I doubt you do. Nor was there ever anyone stating physical traits were most important. Facts are that there is no altering the mind no matter how many lies Christians make up so changing the body is the simplest resolution.
@darliegoddess You misunderstand me. I'm referring to the cultural importance of the male-female divide, which I would tend to consider transitive and largely directed by social trends. I would tend to be of the belief that our culture needs to reach a stage in which no assumptions are made about a person based on inherited sex organs. TS, on the other hand, seems to reaffirm cultural assumptions on the importance of gender division in individual identity. It disturbs my view of gender equality.
So you believe that equality is only possible in a genderless society. Have you read Julia Serano's " Whipping Girl " ? It's the inherent hate of the feminine and the scapegoating of femininity that drives the male dominated society to even make that distinction. Femininity exists , it is wonderful .
@darliegoddess I haven't, but if it regards a tendency of ruling classes to instinctively relate their own culture as the normative form then I've read similar arguments regarding both gender division and racial division. I doubt it applies directly to me in this case as I find traditionally masculine traits least savoury.
Anyway, I should stress that, as stated before, I don't actually object to it. I just personally haven't fully assimilated the concept at this point.
We should wait till you have assimilated it. Equality has nothing to do with femininity whether you believe it's a construct or not. A persons identity is not up for debate.
Nice grammar. You could spend some time learning your own language rather than misquoting a book that was written in a language that was lost. Even the lowest common denominator knows that god created transsexuals and that by insulting and denying gods creations you are a blasphemer.
Darlie, u are the BEST!!!! I love ur personality and ur being a straight out WOMAN!!!! Im glad I met u and we are friends. hugs. Oh by the way u look beautiful in this video. Hair looks great, make up perfect!!
>>No "god" responses please, leave the bible out of it because god did not write the bible and never mentioned transgenders.
Unfortunately, Deuteronomy 22.5 seems to say that cross dressers are abominations. If the Bible has such a verse, then I really don't like Yahweh very much.
Let's also note what else Deut. 22 tells us. * It tells you what to do when you find someone else's cattle (verses 1-4). * It tells you what to do if you find a bird's nest on the ground (verses 6-7). * It tells you that you have to put a railing around your roof to make sure nobody falls off of it (verse 8). * It tells you not to plant more than one kind of seed in the same vinyard (verse 9),
* not to hitch your plow to an ass and an ox at the same time (verse 10), * NOT TO WEAR CLOTHING OF MIXED FIBERS (verse 11 -- look, more potential alt.clothing.lingerie content!! -- "Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, AS OF woollen and linen together" (King James version, emphasis mine), and * that your clothing has to have fringes on it (oh, how sixties -- verse 12). *
It tells you what to do if a man claims that his wife was not a virgin when they married, and what to do if he's right and what to do if he's wrong (verses 13-21). * It tells you that adulterers must be put to death (verse 22). * It tells you that a woman betrothed to someone who has sex with someone other than her betrothed, in a city, and doesn't cry out, shall be put to death (verses 23-24).
* It tells you that if a woman is raped in a field where there's nobody to hear her cry out, you kill the rapist but not the victim (verse 25-27). * It tells you that if a man lies with a woman who is not already betrothed, they have to get married (verses 28-29). * Finally, it says you mustn't sleep with your father's wife (verse 30).
I agree . I think you can look up "Plastics feminize boys ". The evidence is mounting . Fish are being feminized as well. This is no rash of people deciding to change gender , this is an absolute chemical effect.
Gender matters because I don't want to be fucking a dude, thats in its self has a great deal to do with my life. opinions on this matter are irrelevent? ever hear of the word irony? when you try to imitate another gender you are messing with the other persons mind trying to be something your not. are you that unsatisfied with yourself that you have to complain about it? let people speak their voices (like you are doing) and deal with it. switching genders is essentially tricking your prey.
Tricking your prey ? Lol! What makes you think that you are "prey" ? Take a look at the web boyo, it's like Seth Rogen said , there are millions of transsexual porn sites , millions ! You guys just aren't being honest with yourselves because it's not you that's "prey " You and that stupid hat !
If you don't want to be ******** a dude then I would avoid gay bars . And who says that anyone who switches gender is "imitating " "dude" ?! I could easily point to you and say you are just imitating a man. If you are so afraid of transsexuals than you aren't very sure of your own ability to know the difference.
trust me i avoid gay bars. i could easily point to you and say your imitating a woman. so that defeats your rebuttle. and when a person under the effects of alcohol you don't know whats what. SO THERE
Lol ! No that only proves my rebuttal. I suggest that you not drink and you retain your faculties then . A real man can tell a real woman and it has nothing to do with what you were born as. Not a thing.
Intelligent, Beautiful, and very Brave. The epitomy of happiness. Your right to share a message the world needs to hear. God Bless you and best wishes for the future.
When ever i see u feels like..i wana popp the question at you.on my knees as best as i can.Wil u marry me Darling?.Wil keep u as my princess.God i m crazy about you..
LMFAO @ "we took the playbook with us". I understand what you were saying about how another's transition shouldn't matter to anyone, but I think you're missing out on the fact that some people just sincerely want to understand as much as they can, for their own knowledge.
I personally like knowing just to expand my horizons & so I have good, honest responses when I hear someone say something that bashes either trans or genderqueer folks. It's hard to educate others if I myself remain ignorant.
I am as much for the gay community as I am for the trans so don't mistake my issues with some in the gay community ( lesbian and gay males ) as my position . There is only one question that anyone should ask anyone.
Are you happy ?
How do you put it in a sentence how you feel about who you are or the people you love ? People are sopmething you can only experience.
hahaha,, I love the lok and the comment,,"we took the playbook with us,,we lived in your world a long time". OMG I was cracking up thinking about my guy friends and what must go through their minds about me. My BF tells me I am the best of all worlds because I understand both sides and that makes me the candidate for the best lifemate. I find that interesting in so many ways when I ponder my impact on others around me. Thanx for a insightful vlog well done
No I don't have a problem with trans people in fact I have enormous sympathy for you and always have. I think you are a female born in a male body as simple as that. I am only attracted to women and you are a beautiful women and look happy so good for you.
I guess I would have trouble seeing them as a woman even though I know it's in the head, not the body. It's how I'm wired I guess. I want to be understanding though.
My point here is simple, if you saw them as a man , how could you fall in love with them ? That doesn't ,make sense. I think the real answer is that you are insecure and afraid that people will say you are gay.
I dunno why transexuality troubles me since I'm cool with people being gay. It's something I'm still working on. I suppose I am concerned that I might find myself attracted to a tg person at some point. I know it shouldn't matter but it's hard to change. Rest assured I won't be throwing any rocks or joining and lynch mobs though.
Well, it's hard to explain but, I think that that transman got pregnant to give his wife a baby. You know, when you think about it , is that not the most selfless act ? What man would allow himself to have a child for his wife ? How beautiful. Women do it all the time but never a man.
Oh great, one more person to make guys look like insensitive assholes. He...she...cheated the system. How am I supposed to compete with that?! All I can do is change diapers and the like.
Yes, she cheated because she became a man and kept the ovaries. Regular guys don't have that. Not fair at all. Just makes us feel more useless. :( I'm just a walking sperm bank. I'm not married, but if my wife wanted a baby and couldn't have one, I'd adopt. That's just the way fate is. :D
Cheated ? It's fascinating you would call it that. Like there are rules to gender that you must follow. The only cheat in life is if we lie to ourselves. I did that so I know what it feels like and having a baby is not cheating. Her wife is an incredibly lucky he would do that for her.
I rate this as one of your best videos. Very true to fact and very thought provoking and basically sums it all up. But a lot of the issues that causes people to interfere and make rude remarks is due to the constant negativity that the media blasts out about us. The media is so ignorant of us and still treat us like we are mentally impaired. It is so sad.
Well, I feel since being in business I am although I don't mention what I am nor my past nor really wish to as like you astutely said, it isn't anyones business.
I am quite amazed at the number of Trans people here on YouTube! it is most unexpected for me, having just joined the community and having several Trans friends (a few girlfriends as well) that would not dream of discussing the issues out on the Internet as you are. Bravo to you, my good woman! You are quite lovely indeed, might I add. You appear quite smart as well!
Just the appearance of intelligence I'm afraid =) I totally understand their fear , as advanced as we might be not all of us are up to 20th century and the diversity that entails . I think that it is harder to hate someone you know. Thank you for the compliments .
You are most welcome! I agree, it is harder to hate someone you know. Likewise, it is harder to turn away a lovely woman you have come to adore for months after she tells you that she is a Trans. She expected that would end my interest, and while I was a bit shocked, I cared for her no less. She seemed a woman, in mind and body- I decided not to make an issue of it. 10 years ago that was- she's married to someone else now, and we are still good friends! :-)
Love is in the mind where all our secrets are kept . I'm glad you remained friends. That is a good sign of maturity that even regular couples struggle with.
I have one question. Do you feel like your mind works differently now? Do you think like a woman? Must be a curious thing to have a mind change and remember the way it was before. I always wonder how men's mind processes stuff in comparison to women. Is it really very different?
By the way, I admire your courage to speak out, I find you quite an interesting person.
I agree 100%. Being trans is a big, expensive, pain in the ass. I do pass just fine for a female. I consider myself
pretty lucky on that premise. The thing I have a problem with is men who are nice until they find out about you. They want you so much and then they hate you because they feel gay or something. Idk the male playbook as much as some bc I transitioned at 25. So these men are still hard for me to understand.
The real irony is that there has been a bit of prejudice against transgender people among some hardline feminists as well as among anti-feminist men. Any thoughts about this?
If a blind man was walking toward a cliff, insisting that, no he isn't. Is it loving for me to let him walk? I mean he is perfectly happy being decieved into the fact that he is walking the right way. Is it hateful if I accually grab him and say, sorry, but you are totally blinded by not only your lack of sight but also your pride, and I can't sit here and watch you walk off the cliff, because I care about you. Not because I hate, but because I love you and care about you.
i tend to view the changing of ones body like changing cloths if a top doesnt go with the look you want you change it right? or if you dont like a pair of jeans you swap it for a skirt. its not anyone elses buisness what we wear nor is it their buisness who we are as long as we are not trying to hurt anyone. we have the right to be happy.
you really shouldn't have to justify your being human. people encounter different paths in life, they interpret themselves differently. transgenderists are bold for shrugging off the sickness of a specific-sex-oriented social personality. they've chosen to reconcile their innate halves; a man has a female side in his shadow, and a woman has a man. most people repress these and only take one side for an identity. transgenderists have accepted both. they're only people, people.
actually god did in a way, and im transgender, who is riligious, and god talks about us in a positive way, and one who is trans and keeps getting told "god hates you!!!" just say, god tests everyone he is testing me by putting me in the wrong body, the body is just flesh, carnal in nautre my soul is what shall live on forever, "if thine eye offends thee pluck it out" mathew 18:9
Matthew 6:5-6 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Frankly, I see no problem with what people make themselves into, as long as they don't hurt other people. My all-time favorite musician and artist is a transgender who settled on a body that is half man and half woman before saying "This is it; this is what I want to be".
I've never been hurt by a transsexual. I've never heard of somebody dying in a drive-by sex change. Nobody gets hurt by androgyny. I do believe it is the responsibility of a transsexual to be honest with their lovers, though.
Why does gender matter? Well, it doesn't. A person is a person, and people can do whatever they want, as long as it does not interfere with anyone else's happiness.
wish i could look as good as you do .i so wish i could be the real me .and as to god?i belive in god verymuch so i belive there is a god has been proven to me many times
Anyway, to continue. As I got older and fell out with Christianity, I began to see that "male" and "female" behavior was in many ways a cultural construct. Moving to New Orleans also opened my mind up a lot (as one might expect), as did my falling in love with a girl who liked to go to gay bars on Talent Night. It took a while to get over myself. I still have a tendency, when I don't catch myself, to think in terms of "boys" and "girls," but the soul is what counts. Goddess loves us all equally.
I grew up in the Deep South and I'm 49 years old. The confusion with me comes at least partly from being raised in that place at that time. Men were men and women were women, and nobody talked about the fact that some people wanted to change. The only transsexual I ever heard about was Christine Jorgenson, when I was a kid, and it was sort of like...the media treated her as though she were the white rhino at the zoo. It took a while to work out all of it in my head. I'll finish this in a sec.
One day ,I will submit a video response. I cant realy go into further detail about my opinion,by commenting in a text box. Maybe later infact I will submit a video response.
i think it has to do with the fact that its deviant and unnatural. its also a sign of insecurity and possible abuse. there is much more to life than obsessing over sex.. it seems to me that homosexuals and transies and all that odd stuff are really just overly sexualized and sexually ocd. you life becomes about sex and not about life. have they come up with any thing to work on the voice changes from male to female too?
Eye glasses are deviant and unnatural. God meant you to have poor vision so correcting it is an abomination. "its also a sign of insecurity and possible abuse."
An insecure person would not declare themselves another gender. Contradicts your point.
" more to life than obsessing over sex." Huh ? Gender is not sexuality . Why does gender matter ?
" you life becomes about sex and not about life. "
Wow, thats news to me. Your fantasy , not reality.
inoccence and the intention to express inoccence (your body) should be the same right? as for god comments, all that can be said is it takes one god to know one so you are your own god! seperating how female and male express is ridiculous! the world is our playground and the body is too! you have told it how it is girl! I'm a m2f transgender as well!
Its about anger,hate,desire,and the hidden attitudes. Men that take over society and bend it in to some kind of capricious lie. I hate the fact that normal women are not attracted to me by one glance. So,thus I get angry ,and project that anger on to others. Especially on to what is different than me. Seriously no,you don't understand what most men are thinking. Dont take it the wrong way. I still subscribed to you.
Well I think being different has something to do with it as as a matter of history, blacks, asians , irish, women , jews and many other groups have been the target of that hate.
I don't know why people bother so much about what gender people are. I suppose we need to put things in boxes. I suppose I do to that, but it is surprising what some people do with those boxes after they've dumped a person in a box they don't like.
Thanx for the insights darliegoddess! (I tried to post a reply earlier but I think 'teh inter-webs' ate it.) But...that can be a bad assumption to make. If Gay men can like men. and Lesbians can like women, and Heterosexuals can prefer the 'opposite' sex and still look for love why can't a person who finds that the 'T' in the girl -AS WELL AS THE GIRL HERSELF AS A GIRLFRIEND- suits them to a 'T' be looking for love and a relationship among the group they're most attracted to as well?
Thanx for the insightful reply darliegoddess! But... I kind of think that can be a bad assumption to make. Some guys are attracted to other guys, some girls are only attracted to other girls. Some people are only straight hetero and will only seek out members of the 'opposite' sex as mates.that doesn't mean a person for whom the (T) suites them to a 'T' isn't also looking for a person they can love and have a relationship among the group of people they are attracted to! (smiles)
That was a wonderful video! It's great to see someone being outspoken about these kinds of issues. However I was wondering how you feel about those of us who are "Bi-Gendered" and are attracted to the duality of Trans-Women. Some T-girls seem to feel there is something wrong with so-called 'Tranny Chasers' or people who are attracted specifically to the unique combination of masculine and femine that the Transgendered woman represents. How do you feel about this and why?
Some want real relationships and often "tranny chasers " are more into just scoring with a Tgirl. That is kind of dehumanizing since it is the "T" and not the person. That can hurt because they don't want the "T" really . Life is a rainbow and whoever you are attracted to should only be one thing, able to decline or consent. Life is to short to be prejudice against anyone.
Very nicely done. Gender is who you are, not what you are. I know, I am a trans girl myself. I came to a point of "fuck it, I'm just going to be me". Now, I am finding out who my true friends are.
well,people are the only ones that concern themselfs with diffrences ,and statements. Me,I dont care exactly. Just as long as those people dont make a parade out of those diffrences. Otherwise,Im fine with those diffrences
I'm confused when I hear the word "parade ". You think that they should be silent about the violence or murder they suffer ? We have to tolerate "people parading " ignorance, stupidity, ill manners , selfishness and a hose other blatant personal offenses every single day so it seems unfair to single out any one group.
I think (being the transexual that I am) that god is nothing like he is in the so called "good" book known as the bible. To me he is one of the only people in life who truly accepts you for who, or what you consider yourself to be.
Hi Darlie ... I want to thank you again for being who you are and for this video. I'm a TGirl from the northeast U.S. Its fun, but can be tough being a TGirl and you really portray a terrific inner and outer beauty!
Thank you Rachel. It can be tough so we do our best to be supportive. If there is anything beautiful about me it is what I have inherited by example from the women I have known.
I totally feel you... we gay and transgender people had to put up with straight men playing the "gender card." They view us as a terrorists and a threat and a menace to society. We need to end this nonsense now and we shall not tolerate such terror attacks against us all across america.
Lets take back our streets and our country as a whole.
You go Girl!! Keep doing you! Your sex is what ur born with. Gender is learned behavior. As long as your happy thats all that matters. Society is just brainwashed by what they were structured to think. People need to think outside the box and understand that not everyone is the same! If people can be born with ambiguous genitalia then how is it so hard for people to understand that people dont identify with the sex organs they were born with.
this is how i defined gender. real women are born with ovaries and normally have the natural(surgeon assisted also)ability to give birth to a child. a man who becomes a woman is not born with ovaries and currently can not give birth to a child(who knows in the future they might be able to give birth (science assisted, not naturally)) .
Most are but not all. You probably don't know this but many women are born without a vaginal canal , cervix ,womb or ovaries etc . In the case of intersexed born with the right genetics yet wrong genitalia. Look this up on the web:
Most of you take fractions of science and pretend you know what it means. To argue genetics when you have never even had a genetics test is silly. A limited definition don't you think ? So if you yourself were not born with a penis , would that make you a woman ? Would a woman born without a vagina be considered a man ?
You are saying that a body part that makes up a tiny tiny fraction of you body determines brain sex when scientifically it's a ridiculous assumption. Gender is determined by the brain and is neither fluid nor determined by bumps in your flesh.
Now try this , close your eyes and without defining yourself by your clothes , body or your genitals describe your gender.
if that is the case, hormones affect to who you think you are. a study that i read about a week ago(look online for it dont remember name though) says that when a person is still in the mother's womb can be affected greatly depending on hormone levels present(not word by word but similar to what i am trying to say)that can determine gender mentally.
Yes , there is a hormone bath that has to happen at a specific time to create a male brain. They are still trying to sort specifics still. Lol, then you should eat before you try it =) The real point to that was that without outside clues many ( especially the hungry ) cannot tell. I believe you can subvert a gender identity with indoctrination but not forever. Examples like the Ex Gay movements. There are often suicides because they are what they are and can't be changed.
also from what i understood form your comments, if gender does not matter, then why would someone change their external appearance to match their gender mentally if it does not matter?
"if gender does not matter, then why would someone change their external appearance to match their gender mentally "
Well actually if you listen the question is put to the viewer why it should matter what gender another person is. We cannot really change what gender we are mentally . For most transsexuals they feel no transition at all because they stay exactly who they are. It is merely the body that changes to match the mind. Understand ? It's a bit hard if you haven't suffered it.
Of all the things said on this video, that is the most important. The real problem is not that someone's gender has to change, it is the world that must adjust. It's hard when you haven't lived in that kind of pain to look at someone and feel a life of unhappiness.
Ignorant people need to educate themselves about The United States Declaration of Independence.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
It should be our duty to only care for universal values such peace, liberty, social progress, equality, individuals rights, human dignity, happiness, truth, freedom for every human being to do what they want.
"Prejudices are what fools use for reason." - Voltaire
Great video ! Women and men need to find happiness as any human being. The pursuit of happiness is a individual and human right. Who are we to tell what is right or what is wrong for someone ? It's just arrogant and hypocritical to tell we are right and we know better. Men and women were born different. Diversity is a real gift. We are all individuals and we all belong to one human race. All Human Beings are Created Equal.
How about people born crippled, lame, blind , infertile , or with heart defects ? I mean , we even pay for your viagra and you aren't in any mortal danger ! You think correcting those is wrong because that isn't the way they were born ? You are the same people who called being gay a sickness, called black people and Jews defects. Why is any of it your damn business at all ?
Well put.

I've noticed that many radical feminists have had the same prejudices against transexuals that religious fanatics have. Isn't that ironic? I've heard feminists claim that gender is socially constructed so they believe that male-to-female transexuals are men who are caught up in gender sereotypes and that everyone should be unisex. The religious nuts, of course, take the opposite tactic of claiming that gender is ordained by God and can't be questioned. Gender is an innate personal identity.
prschuster 1 year ago
Exactly,one that you really cant control. The distinction between people who imitate feminine traits and those who have feminine traits. The gays who hate other gays because they are feminine. Many lesbians see it as "constructed" because many of them aren't the slightest bit feminine and quite often are totally masculine.
darliegoddess 1 year ago
@darliegoddess I believe a lot of the most radical feminists are women who are naturally androgynous or even closet transexuals who are confusing their feminism with this ideology of cultural construction of gender. That way they don't have to confront their own gender identity issues. They can do this by pretending that everyone is basically unisex or that femininity is an expression of an oppressive female sex role. I suspect that there is some deep seated denial and resentment at work here.
prschuster 1 year ago
I don't object to it, but I'm bothered by the concept of physical traits being deemed integral to personal identity. It limits humanity to the purely biological. The capacity to change the outward appearance of these traits may seem to represent a liberation from biology, but I think the NEED to do so that transgendered individuals attest to (and demonstrate by willingness to go through the difficulty and expense) brings it back to entrapment. I find the possible implications depressing.
Flinklehurst 1 year ago
I'm sorry but where you get the impression this was ever considered "liberation " from biology is beyond me. The statement assumes you know biology and I doubt you do. Nor was there ever anyone stating physical traits were most important. Facts are that there is no altering the mind no matter how many lies Christians make up so changing the body is the simplest resolution.
darliegoddess 1 year ago
@darliegoddess You misunderstand me. I'm referring to the cultural importance of the male-female divide, which I would tend to consider transitive and largely directed by social trends. I would tend to be of the belief that our culture needs to reach a stage in which no assumptions are made about a person based on inherited sex organs. TS, on the other hand, seems to reaffirm cultural assumptions on the importance of gender division in individual identity. It disturbs my view of gender equality.
Flinklehurst 1 year ago
So you believe that equality is only possible in a genderless society. Have you read Julia Serano's " Whipping Girl " ? It's the inherent hate of the feminine and the scapegoating of femininity that drives the male dominated society to even make that distinction. Femininity exists , it is wonderful .
darliegoddess 1 year ago
@darliegoddess I haven't, but if it regards a tendency of ruling classes to instinctively relate their own culture as the normative form then I've read similar arguments regarding both gender division and racial division. I doubt it applies directly to me in this case as I find traditionally masculine traits least savoury.
Anyway, I should stress that, as stated before, I don't actually object to it. I just personally haven't fully assimilated the concept at this point.
Flinklehurst 1 year ago
We should wait till you have assimilated it. Equality has nothing to do with femininity whether you believe it's a construct or not. A persons identity is not up for debate.

Nice grammar. You could spend some time learning your own language rather than misquoting a book that was written in a language that was lost. Even the lowest common denominator knows that god created transsexuals and that by insulting and denying gods creations you are a blasphemer.

>>No "god" responses please, leave the bible out of it because god did not write the bible and never mentioned transgenders.
Unfortunately, Deuteronomy 22.5 seems to say that cross dressers are abominations. If the Bible has such a verse, then I really don't like Yahweh very much.

Let's also note what else Deut. 22 tells us. * It tells you what to do when you find someone else's cattle (verses 1-4). * It tells you what to do if you find a bird's nest on the ground (verses 6-7). * It tells you that you have to put a railing around your roof to make sure nobody falls off of it (verse 8). * It tells you not to plant more than one kind of seed in the same vinyard (verse 9),
darliegoddess 1 year ago
* not to hitch your plow to an ass and an ox at the same time (verse 10), * NOT TO WEAR CLOTHING OF MIXED FIBERS (verse 11 -- look, more potential alt.clothing.lingerie content!! -- "Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, AS OF woollen and linen together" (King James version, emphasis mine), and * that your clothing has to have fringes on it (oh, how sixties -- verse 12). *
darliegoddess 1 year ago
It tells you what to do if a man claims that his wife was not a virgin when they married, and what to do if he's right and what to do if he's wrong (verses 13-21). * It tells you that adulterers must be put to death (verse 22). * It tells you that a woman betrothed to someone who has sex with someone other than her betrothed, in a city, and doesn't cry out, shall be put to death (verses 23-24).
darliegoddess 1 year ago
* It tells you that if a woman is raped in a field where there's nobody to hear her cry out, you kill the rapist but not the victim (verse 25-27). * It tells you that if a man lies with a woman who is not already betrothed, they have to get married (verses 28-29). * Finally, it says you mustn't sleep with your father's wife (verse 30).

Gender matters because I don't want to be fucking a dude, thats in its self has a great deal to do with my life. opinions on this matter are irrelevent? ever hear of the word irony? when you try to imitate another gender you are messing with the other persons mind trying to be something your not. are you that unsatisfied with yourself that you have to complain about it? let people speak their voices (like you are doing) and deal with it. switching genders is essentially tricking your prey.

My point here is simple, if you saw them as a man , how could you fall in love with them ? That doesn't ,make sense. I think the real answer is that you are insecure and afraid that people will say you are gay.

I dunno why transexuality troubles me since I'm cool with people being gay. It's something I'm still working on.

Well, it's hard to explain but, I think that that transman got pregnant to give his wife a baby. You know, when you think about it , is that not the most selfless act ? What man would allow himself to have a child for his wife ? How beautiful. Women do it all the time but never a man.

Oh great, one more person to make guys look like insensitive assholes. He...she...cheated the system. How am I supposed to compete with that?! All I can do is change diapers and the like.

Cheated ? If you could give birth and your wife wanted a baby but couldn't , wouldn't you have one ? I bet you would.
darliegoddess 2 years ago
Yes, she cheated because she became a man and kept the ovaries. Regular guys don't have that. Not fair at all. Just makes us feel more useless. :( I'm just a walking sperm bank. I'm not married, but if my wife wanted a baby and couldn't have one, I'd adopt. That's just the way fate is. :D
EpicDude86 2 years ago
Cheated ? It's fascinating you would call it that. Like there are rules to gender that you must follow. The only cheat in life is if we lie to ourselves. I did that so I know what it feels like and having a baby is not cheating. Her wife is an incredibly lucky he would do that for her.
darliegoddess 2 years ago
I rate this as one of your best videos. Very true to fact and very thought provoking and basically sums it all up.

You are most welcome! I agree, it is harder to hate someone you know. Likewise, it is harder to turn away a lovely woman you have come to adore for months after she tells you that she is a Trans. She expected that would end my interest, and while I was a bit shocked, I cared for her no less. She seemed a woman, in mind and body- I decided not to make an issue of it. 10 years ago that was- she's married to someone else now, and we are still good friends! :-)

I agree 100%. Being trans is a big, expensive, pain in the ass. I do pass just fine for a female. I consider myself
pretty lucky on that premise. The thing I have a problem with is men who are nice until they find out about you. They want you so much and then they hate you because they feel gay or something. Idk the male playbook as much as some bc I transitioned at 25. So these men are still hard for me to understand.

you really shouldn't have to justify your being human. people encounter different paths in life, they interpret themselves differently. transgenderists are bold for shrugging off the sickness of a specific-sex-oriented social personality. they've chosen to reconcile their innate halves; a man has a female side in his shadow, and a woman has a man. most people repress these and only take one side for an identity. transgenderists have accepted both. they're only people, people.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Frankly, I see no problem with what people make themselves into, as long as they don't hurt other people. My all-time favorite musician and artist is a transgender who settled on a body that is half man and half woman before saying "This is it; this is what I want to be".
I've never been hurt by a transsexual. I've never heard of somebody dying in a drive-by sex change. Nobody gets hurt by androgyny. I do believe it is the responsibility of a transsexual to be honest with their lovers, though.

Hi Darlie. Great video (I absolutely LOVE your hair, by the way!).
To answer your question, gender does matter. Gender is central to who we are as people, as individuals, and forms the basis for our self identity.
As a transwoman myself, my gender identity, like yours, is central to who I am, as a woman. Without it, I wouldn't be who I am today.
And I agree that it shouldn't matter to anyone else what we do with OUR bodies. My body is mine, no one else's.
Best of luck, Sister.

Anyway, to continue. As I got older and fell out with Christianity, I began to see that "male" and "female" behavior was in many ways a cultural construct. Moving to New Orleans also opened my mind up a lot (as one might expect), as did my falling in love with a girl who liked to go to gay bars on Talent Night. It took a while to get over myself. I still have a tendency, when I don't catch myself, to think in terms of "boys" and "girls," but the soul is what counts. Goddess loves us all equally.

I grew up in the Deep South and I'm 49 years old. The confusion with me comes at least partly from being raised in that place at that time. Men were men and women were women, and nobody talked about the fact that some people wanted to change. The only transsexual I ever heard about was Christine Jorgenson, when I was a kid, and it was sort of like...the media treated her as though she were the white rhino at the zoo. It took a while to work out all of it in my head. I'll finish this in a sec.

"... its deviant and unnatural. "
Eye glasses are deviant and unnatural. God meant you to have poor vision so correcting it is an abomination. "its also a sign of insecurity and possible abuse."
An insecure person would not declare themselves another gender. Contradicts your point.

" you life becomes about sex and not about life. "

inoccence and the intention to express inoccence (your body) should be the same right? as for god comments, all that can be said is it takes one god to know one so you are your own god! seperating how female and male express is ridiculous! the world is our playground and the body is too! you have told it how it is girl!

If Gay men can like men. and Lesbians can like women, and Heterosexuals can prefer the 'opposite' sex and still look for love why can't a person who finds that the 'T' in the girl -AS WELL AS THE GIRL HERSELF AS A GIRLFRIEND- suits them to a 'T' be looking for love and a relationship among the group they're most attracted to as well?

Thanx for the insightful reply darliegoddess! But... I kind of think that can be a bad assumption to make. Some guys are attracted to other guys, some girls are only attracted to other girls.

(smiles)

That was a wonderful video! It's great to see someone being outspoken about these kinds of issues. However I was wondering how you feel about those of us who are "Bi-Gendered" and are attracted to the duality of Trans-Women. Some T-girls seem to feel there is something wrong with so-called 'Tranny Chasers' or people who are attracted specifically to the unique combination of masculine and femine that the Transgendered woman represents. How do you feel about this and why?
Bluttglutt 3 years ago
Some want real relationships and often "tranny chasers " are more into just scoring with a Tgirl. That is kind of dehumanizing since it is the "T" and not the person. That can hurt because they don't want the "T" really . Life is a rainbow and whoever you are attracted to should only be one thing, able to decline or consent. Life is to short to be prejudice against anyone.

You go Girl!! Keep doing you! Your sex is what ur born with. Gender is learned behavior. As long as your happy thats all that matters. Society is just brainwashed by what they were structured to think. People need to think outside the box and understand that not everyone is the same! If people can be born with ambiguous genitalia then how is it so hard for people to understand that people dont identify with the sex organs they were born with.
cutielu8705 3 years ago 4
this is how i defined gender. real women are born with ovaries and normally have the natural(surgeon assisted also)ability to give birth to a child. a man who becomes a woman is not born with ovaries and currently can not give birth to a child(who knows in the future they might be able to give birth (science assisted, not naturally)) .
javithemonkey 3 years ago
"real women are born with ovaries "
Most are but not all. You probably don't know this but many women are born without a vaginal canal , cervix ,womb or ovaries etc . In the case of intersexed born with the right genetics yet wrong genitalia. Look this up on the web:
Woman born without a womb to have child
Kind of ruins your theory.

That's fine. It's something to talk about. I've read some great books on gender lately. Whipping Girl by Julia Serano .

Most of you take fractions of science and pretend you know what it means. To argue genetics when you have never even had a genetics test is silly. A limited definition don't you think ? So if you yourself were not born with a penis , would that make you a woman ? Would a woman born without a vagina be considered a man ?

You are saying that a body part that makes up a tiny tiny fraction of you body determines brain sex when scientifically it's a ridiculous assumption. Gender is determined by the brain and is neither fluid nor determined by bumps in your flesh.
Now try this , close your eyes and without defining yourself by your clothes , body or your genitals describe your gender.

oh your also talking about mentally.
if that is the case, hormones affect to who you think you are. a study that i read about a week ago(look online for it dont remember name though) says that when a person is still in the mother's womb can be affected greatly depending on hormone levels present(not word by word but similar to what i am trying to say)that can determine gender mentally.
oh i tried defining my self by closing my eyes
and all i could think of was food.

Yes , there is a hormone bath that has to happen at a specific time to create a male brain. They are still trying to sort specifics still. Lol, then you should eat before you try it =) The real point to that was that without outside clues many ( especially the hungry ) cannot tell. I believe you can subvert a gender identity with indoctrination but not forever. Examples like the Ex Gay movements. There are often suicides because they are what they are and can't be changed.

also from what i understood form your comments, if gender does not matter, then why would someone change their external appearance to match their gender mentally if it does not matter?
just asking

"if gender does not matter, then why would someone change their external appearance to match their gender mentally "
Well actually if you listen the question is put to the viewer why it should matter what gender another person is. We cannot really change what gender we are mentally . For most transsexuals they feel no transition at all because they stay exactly who they are. It is merely the body that changes to match the mind. Understand ? It's a bit hard if you haven't suffered it.

in either case if your happy being you, then

"you should always be happy for who you are"
Of all the things said on this video, that is the most important. The real problem is not that someone's gender has to change, it is the world that must adjust. It's hard when you haven't lived in that kind of pain to look at someone and feel a life of unhappiness.

Ignorant people need to educate themselves about The United States Declaration of Independence.

It should be our duty to only care for universal values such peace, liberty, social progress, equality, individuals rights, human dignity, happiness, truth, freedom for every human being to do what they want.

Great video ! Women and men need to find happiness as any human being. The pursuit of happiness is a individual and human right. Who are we to tell what is right or what is wrong for someone ? It's just arrogant and hypocritical to tell we are right and we know better. Men and women were born different. Diversity is a real gift. We are all individuals and we all belong to one human race. All Human Beings are Created Equal.

How about people born crippled, lame, blind , infertile , or with heart defects ? I mean , we even pay for your viagra and you aren't in any mortal danger ! You think correcting those is wrong because that isn't the way they were born ? You are the same people who called being gay a sickness, called black people and Jews defects. Why is any of it your damn business at all ?

I have met several transsexuals in person; they're very beautiful people. I've even dated a few male-to-female transsexuals; I've
