First off, let me say that I am very open to the idea of homosexuality and lesbianism. I feel that transgender is sort of freakish, though. You were born with certain parts and the idea of having them removed and other parts added, then assuming a completely different lifestyle...Well, to be honest, disgusts me. What are your thoughts on it?

I have no problem with it. To each their own, whatever makes you happy, that's how I see it. If someoen wants ro tun around looking and acting like Frank M. Furter, they can go right ahead.

I thik that is ruining your life and body.

If you had to do an effort, do it for accepting what you are, and not for removing/adding artificial parts to your body.

By the way, those people will NEVER be of the opposite sex, no matter how surgery they do on their bodies.

i am accepting of them. i feel that if someone isnt happy with the way they were born they need to take the steps to become happy. and if changing their gender is how they achieve that happieness then good for them

A murderer already did that. Ed gein i believe. Anyway, whatever, it's their body. Whatever makes them happy, I mean it's not like they are forcing the idea upon the rest of us.

Yes you are correct, Ed Gein was the proper murderer who did that. I give you props for knowing that.

My parents bought a book a few years ago about notorious evil people. Interesting stuff, although the mental images can sometimes be a bit hard to get rid off.

I wholeheartedly agree.

But not only that, I just genuinely find it absolutely disgusting.

It's sad that we seem to be the only creatures on earth with a identity crisis--a dog never tries to be a cat, a lion never tries to be a bear, and ect, ect.

I have no prejudice, but I can't approve sex change. Besides, the change is only exterior: a man may change his sexual organs, his voice and disguise himself as a woman, but his organism and genetic construct are still those of a man.

Right now, I don't have a problem with it. However, if this becomes a cultural trend I can see it becoming an issue. I mean, what if an 8 year old boy turns to his mother and says he wants to be a girl? That'd be pretty messed up... But yeah, if they're old enough to know their own mind then good luck to them.

Its their body, they can do what they want with it. I'm not overly open to it, but I wouldn't treat a transgender person any different.

I have friends who are transgendered, so I'm pretty comfortable with it. It's their bodies, and if they feel as though they were born in the wrong one, who am I to judge? Plus, what about people who are XXY? Shouldn't they be able to choose?

I think somewhat the same way you do.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with homosexuality, and I support homosexual people 100%, but it's kind of ridiculous to change your gender.

Still, they can do whatever they want, I simply find it.. unnecessary.

I don't really see a problem with it, especially since I think it would be terrible to feel like you were in someone else's body.

When it comes down to it though, it's their body. And I don't see people complaining about plastic surgery and liposuction.

I'm kidding but my justification is the moral standard held within the Bible. I'm not saying I'd condemn them as Jesus himself said in John 3:17 "I came into the world not to condemn the world but to save it." I'd love the people for who they are but seek to lead them into the path of righteousness.

Where something is assumed to be OK just because it is natural. I mean, I don't have any problem with being transgender, but the fact that animals do it is irrelevant to that.

I was only making a point because someone had said that dogs don't want to be cats etc, so that was why they thought it was wrong

I didn't want to be a girl because animals do it, I wanted to because I feel more ...whole, for lack of a better term, as a female than I did as a male.

Unless clownfish pay other clownfish to apply a scalpel to their nether region, that comparison is entirely invalid.

I think it is harmful to the person but they can do what they want.
