Sounds like you are making the usual mistake of tacking transsexual people on to a LGB label. This actually does more damage than good. Transsexual people are about GENDER identity, while LGB is about SEXUAL ORIENTATION Please respect the difference!

[duzdonna]

It's not a mistake. I'm well aware of the difference, but that has nothing to do with this. I'm perfectly comfortable with how this is framed.

thanks for all your doing.bless you and your program.

@sleepdepraved1

Wow. Generalising an entire group of people based on ONE person?

[sareenagreen2010]

@sleepdepraved1 It's about GENDER.Stop letting your human brain go down the sexual obsessed road.Your ex is his/her own individual.You cannot pin anyone into a catagory just because of your ex.GET OVER IT.

[JonnyBoyMach2]

@sleepdepraved1 Normally I don't feed trolls . . . but, ah well.

Wow. Bitter much?

So if it happened to you it must be true in ALL cases?

Autotransphilia - the correct spelling btw - is separate from transexualism. That's why they have different names. Get it? Yes? . . . (no, probably not).

Just because you clearly have a chip on your shoulder about your ex (I can't imagine why, you sound perfectly LOVELY to me . . .), why are you attacking this girl? Why is she a 'slut'?

@liveleak reject 100%agree with you on that one LGB.......(T) why it does not belong there. But how is it possible for society to accept that the (T) IS gender and not sexual when you have people like Hot Booty 11 (nine comments down) flying the flag for (T). Ask in the real world, What is transgender and the Answer you will commonly get is Man in woman's clothes. Ask what is a Transsexual .Common answer Man with Tits probably on the game (sex worker).

[sleepdepraved1]

Oh dear god, "promoting social justice"? What the hell does that mean in terms of the trans community? Does that mean we all have to participate in the delusions of the transsexual perverts. Don't tell me it is not sexual, it damn sure is! I was married to one and I damn well know what it is about and can send you a copy of 600 perverted emails. Look up autotransphyllia if you need psycho quack language to prove it. what a bunch of deceptive garbage for children. Dumb slut!

thanks for the program

[maryblue75]

the way I understand it, is that its about parenting, and not about putting people in different "boxes". Parenting is about teaching children about being human beings,

and in all that, I beleive it doesnt have to do either about gender or sexual preference. All human beeings can be good parents if they want to, no matter what their gender, perceived gender, or sexual orientation is.

So, = all kids that grow up with all these differences, can overcome them, and live a normal life!

@bekkahxo this is kinda why i just identify as 'queer' all around - i like people, and i do not identify with a binary gender (genderqueer!)

[hotbooty11]

are u for real?plz do not speak for me and all other transexual girls...i am proudly consider myself GLBT part and yes we are gender iderntity but that does not mean we are not part of the bigger group and division is the only damage i see...Thank you

[bekkahxo]

I've found sexual orientation and gender identity to be intrinsically linked, because your orientation is defined based on the relationship between your biological sex or gender identity and that of whoever you are attracted to. My gender/sexual orientation identity often shift in relation to each other. Also, anyone who is non-cissexual or non-cisgendered is already outside of heteronormative gender roles, so they are affected by a lot of the same issues.
