goddamnit sexuality is strange and weird
did you know I was told that there are transexuals who are attracted to the sex that they just changed to?
I'll never understand
did you know that there are people who can be attracted to anything/anyone and if you think about it for a second it is rather simple

fuck that; everybody on FP is a dick sometimes. I barely even noticed.
I mean, I guess but I still don't understand why you'd be attracted to the gender you just changed to... and I guess you can call me an uninformed asshole but if you're attracted to everything and everyone then why get a sex change?

Because gender and sexual preference are completely separate?

Yes that was a bit passive agressive.
I was behind my computer whispering "please don't start a fight because of me"
I hope this video helps.

Everyone has their own preferences and you can't really change that. I'm a MtF but I still like girls. I'd fancy a man as well but still not as much as a woman. Shouldn't be too hard to grasp really. Bisexuality isn't too complex in my opinion as well as other sexual preferences. You like what you like no matter what else or who you are.

A mtf transgender person liking women or a ftm transgender person liking men would be no different than a woman liking other women or a man liking other men.

Holy shit I'm not even trans and that sounded offensive to me :v:
Basically every informative trans piece I've ever read has made a big deal out of saying "Being trans/transitioning does NOT affect your sexual preference, they are completely separate things"
[QUOTE=BFG9000;38916370]*the sex you just changed to[/QUOTE]
I'm not only talking about your sex, though.
Sex, gender, and sexual preference are all separate. They usually correlate to an extent, but for some people they don't.

Becuase no-one acknowledge Princess Cookie's feelings or took them seriously, so the message is also "don't take gender dysphoria as a joke or a phase".
No drinking during Christmas sux, especially if your relatives consists of Vikings.

So what happens when you call someone who looks like a woman a woman but their gender is male, do they have the right to be offended and mad?

ofc they can get offended but then they are being stupid as obviously the person calling them a woman couldnt have known
[editline]21st December 2012[/editline]
anyone has a right to be offended about anything but just getting offended about stupid things is stupid

Train your 'dragon' instead then.
I'd train your dragon baby rrerr

A. SRS, not Sex Change
B. Just because I'm into men doesn't mean I identify as one.
[sp]AS USUAL I AM LATE TO THE PARTY[/sp]:v:
How does one train a dragon? Also, I may have not been able to resist the temptation of alcohol, but do not fear, it was only one bottle [sp]+ 4[/sp]
Still, nothing particular, and won't be anything else in the future since this was basically our Christmas.
We will take off during the actual celebrations for a change.

Oh right, and a friend of my brother is sleeping over... And he keeps hitting on me when drunk, though I'm certain that his sexual preferences does not include me.

As long as it's just an honest mistake, no one should get offended.
i was able to stop at page 8 after the dude posted a pic of him in a thong? what about you?

Pretty much this. One of my roommate's friends met a transman who is pre-everything, and came to a convention dressed as a female character (an MLP character) and when he said she, the transguy flipped out. That was wrong on his part to lose his cool like that considering he's pre-everything. But my roommate's friend proceeded to purposely misgender him because of how rude he was. That's a shitheaded thing to do.

Definitely not condoning it but that sort of behavior is far from unusual. Someone's rude about something so the people they were being rude to see it as perfectly alright to be at least as rude back. And it can only elevate from there until someone realizes how stupid it is.

Why are you even in this thread if that offends you
I would talk about how i had been thinking about alot of stuff but i have decided to shutup due to the levels of drama in this thread currently, fearing that all the 12 year old kids and 14 year old christian boys will spam my profile with "fucking tranny fag go cut ur penas" or something like that.
Waiting untill things are back to normal.

On topic:
There's this transsexual who goes to my school who's named Matt but goes by Maddie. According to some people from Maddie's grade, she gets easily offended; I was told that once in AP US History, they were talking about social issues such as "marriage between a man and a transexual man" and Maddie instantly shouted "FOR YOUR INFORMATION, IT'S MARRIAGE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN."
I don't know what it is about it but something about this sort of thing annoys or pisses me off. Not that its really that big a deal, and I don't respect Maddie any less, its just... annoying somehow.

if a person wants to be informally referred to as a female, then it's pretty respectful to take that account, and incredibly disrespectful to do otherwise

But for one, the conversation wasn't even focused around Maddie, and for another, while they were aware that there was a transsexual in the room it was probably just a spur of the moment slip of the tounge. It just kinda ate me how Maddie just had to stand up and make a big deal about is all.

It's hard to explain. But transgender people want to be viewed as the gender we identify with. Many of us wish we were cis, but we obviously can't. As a result, we try to make ourselves fit in socially just like any other cis-gender person because we wish to be treated as equal. Maddie got offended because the person was misgendered, obviously, and that they have to forcibly put the transsexual label on because people just don't see transgirls as girls and transboys as boys.
