[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;37680649]Because it seems very confusing to others.[/quote] Man = Man Woman = Woman Transgender Man = Man Transgender Woman = Woman It's not rocket science.
[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;37680575]Uh hi. Do you even know what female hormones do? - They decrease your libido and increase your sex drive to that of a woman's. - Some ocular changes (i.e. how women can see colors brighter) occurs. - You grow breasts, in which the size of them is based on genetics. - Your body hair falls off and is replaced with lighter body hair of a woman's. - Your skin gets softer. - Your body odor and sweat production is changed to that of a woman's. - Veins become less visible. - Fat is redistributed to that of a female's figure. - Muscle development is reduced. - It can assist and change hair/growth. Only thing it doesn't change is your voice. That still sound like a man to you? You don't think trans folk like myself would LOVE to have our lives rewinded so that we lived as a girl since age 0? But we can't, we make the best of it and move forward and try to live a normal life the way we believe we were supposed to be. But then assholes like you and every other transphobic bigot come in and tell us we're men because we had a dick/born a man/can't reproduce/etc. Don't you think we wouldn't love to go back in time and correct the mistake? Do all the things we can't do like provide children to the partner who we love dearly? But we can't. We have to make do with what we have and can do to our bodies to make us identify as a female in the world. So cut it out with the stupid bigotry and fucking identify us correctly. Thanks.[/QUOTE] i wanna see colors brighter and have softer skin
[QUOTE=andrey191919;37677740]It's not hers, she gave this one glass thing of it. I've mostly got over it now, and I would say that having a transsexual girlfriend is great. She has a sex drive that matches mine and jumps me at random times<3 And is into being tied up etc.[/QUOTE] It's awesome that you aren't having an overreaction to it. The amount of trust that she put in you by revealing that about herself is huge - and the time gap is testament to that. She didn't want to ruin her relationship with you by telling you early on, because that's how attracted she is to you.
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;37680649]Because it seems very confusing to others.[/QUOTE] but it takes like 3 seconds to explain "hey what pronoun should i use?" "she" "ok cool" you don't need to be a genius to understand this
[QUOTE=Splurgy_A;37680648]Wtf[/QUOTE] Yes you'd be gay. Their both dudes how hard is that
[QUOTE=DinoJesus;37680611]Because bluntly stating your opinion on an online anonymous web forum is the same as walking up to a transgendered person irl and throwing rocks at them.[/QUOTE] Well, even if it is not the same thing, you are certainly trying very hard to make it the same thing, while hilariously realizing yourself that you are doing it. You also appear to underestimate the power of words, regardless of how anonymous and detached you are. And if anything, it is important to consider the possibility that you are currently showing the largest amount of honesty than in a majority of situations. "Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth" and all that.

[QUOTE=DinoJesus;37680611]Because bluntly stating your opinion on an online anonymous web forum is the same as walking up to a transgendered person irl and throwing rocks at them.[/QUOTE] Transfer this to real life. My sister lives down by the seaside and we recently went to visit and went to the neighbours' for a BBQ. There was a lot of alcohol. The host, who assumed everyone at that party was straight, said in conversation that "He didn't have anything against gays" but he thought gay people were "really disgusting". That made me feel bad. You can't tell if anyone you talk to is transgender because a lot of transgender people are really really convincing. So if you're chatting with a bunch of supposedly non transgender people and you say "eew trannies are weird, they're men pretending to be women" you run a good risk of upsetting a trans person [QUOTE=DinoJesus;37680633]Ok bro, show me proof that I assaulted transgendered people in real life.[/QUOTE] wtf you don't have to assault someone to be a bigot "Oh I'm not racist but I think niggers are subhuman scum who should fuck off out of England. But I don't beat black people up so I'm not a racist" "Oh I'm not sexist but women are subordinate to men. Their place is in the home and women are dumber and weaker than men. But I don't go beating up those dykes who pretend to be men and get office jobs so I'm not sexist"
[QUOTE=DinoJesus;37680564]I'm getting the feeling that the transgender megathread is currently residing in this thread. Idk why, I guess it's just a hunch.[/QUOTE] Actually there's only a few of us here. [QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;37680601]That could of gone a little less aggressive[/QUOTE] It could have but it's understandable that T. Sonar would be a bit frustrated by it. A lot of the time in cases like this it's like arguing with a wall because no one will budge from their preconceived notions no matter what.
Facepunch, land of the free and open discussions. A place were you can give you honest opinion without worrying that someone will rate you dumb simply because they have a differing viewpoint. It's rather ironic that the forum that has a hardon for freedom of speech will want someone banned simply because they say something they disagree with.
[QUOTE=-nesto-;37680719]Yes you'd be gay. Their both dudes how hard is that[/QUOTE] Going by your logic they're also both women.
[QUOTE=DinoJesus;37680633]Ok bro, show me proof that I assaulted transgendered people in real life.[/QUOTE] Nobody said that you assault transgender people irl. Just that you might act like a cunt towards them. Kinda like how you are doing on a forum. Love is rather abstract and that it why I think it's wrong to label some types of love as being wrong. (With the exclusion of pedophilia of course) Just because the foundation of the circle of life comes from a man loving a woman, we can't neglect that a man/woman can love another man/woman just like a man loves a woman, with the physical side being different. Platonic love is also a great deal, how dear do you hold your friends? I hold them very close at least. P.S. I find it funny how big of an ass kisser ILiekBoxes is being.
[QUOTE=-nesto-;37680719]Yes you'd be gay. Their both dudes how hard is that[/QUOTE] I like how I explained in detail how it doesn't make a transgirl a guy and you completely ignored it. It's not like there's voodoo magic going on here, bucko. It's synthesized [i]natural[/i] female hormones, and the changes it does to your body is strictly the body's reaction to replacing T with E. How does that not make you a woman?
I'm starting to think I should leave before I get another 3 day ban. I'm starting to get pretty mad.
[QUOTE=-nesto-;37680719]Yes you'd be gay. Their both dudes how hard is that[/QUOTE] You're half right. One of them is a dude. I love how you're failing at applying your own transphobic and bigoted view.
[QUOTE=Boxbot219;37680738]Homosexuality, explained by an 11 year old. Starring -nesto- Written by -nesto-[/QUOTE] Oh ya I'm totally 11, good job bro! For people that instantly lash out at the other side calling them ignorant bigots yall show incredible ignorance aswell.
[QUOTE=-nesto-;37680719]Yes you'd be gay. Their both dudes how hard is that[/QUOTE] So if you find transgender men attractive, you're gay, but if you find transgender women attractive, you're also gay? So you can transition to being male but you can't transition to being female? Think about this. So someone who was born with a vagina can become a man, but someone who was born with a penis can never be considered a woman? Where is the logic here?

We used to have literacy tests you had to pass before you were allowed to post in certain forums.
[QUOTE=-nesto-;37680767]Oh ya I'm totally 11, good job bro! For people that instantly lash out at the other side calling them ignorant bigots yall show incredible ignorance aswell.[/QUOTE] You're in no position to lash out at someone as being immature when you're the pinnacle of immaturity.
[QUOTE=-nesto-;37680767]Oh ya I'm totally 11, good job bro! For people that instantly lash out at the other side calling them ignorant bigots yall show incredible ignorance aswell.[/QUOTE] Oh man I know I did not just get called ignorant by someone who thinks that gender is defined by some flabs of flesh, and that a man is gay for being physically attracted to feminine features on a body just because that person had a sex change.

It's rather ironic that the forum that has a hardon for freedom of speech will want someone banned simply because they say something they disagree with.[/QUOTE] No one even remotely came close to banning you, people are just giving you feedback and telling you that you are currently being rude and incorrect. If you are such a fan of blunt honest opinions, then you should also be a fan of blunt honest feedback. The blunter you are, the blunter you should expect the world to reply back. No one here is threatening to ban you, we are just strictly and bluntly saying that we disagree with you, just as strictly and bluntly as you are saying that you disagree with us.
Is this the part of the argument where we lash out stupid insults

But when you're getting really frustrated about something that matters a lot to you, that kind of thought isn't foremost in your mind.
