By the way, Nef, I believe you'd like to see this: A buff guy turning into a hot girl in 48 pictures...
Took him 2 years to become her according to this website. Can't imagine how dramatic it must've been for those around him-then-her to follow the changes... you can hardly believe it's somehow the same continuous body. |
now what would be really awesome if he went back to being a muscular guy. That would be pretty sick. :p

Yeah I am bisexual too, and actually it's something that puts tension into my relationship with the radical queer community, that I am attracted to and available to straight people, straight men no less. That makes me a 'bad radical' in their eyes. In bed with the enemy and all that :p |
exaaaaactly. no lesbians ever want to date me. they think i'll just go back to or something. only women i've ever been with are fellow bisexuals. seems they are the only ones who really get it. the straight guys i date also tend to not take my attraction to women as seriously as my attraction to men. for example, my ex told me it wouldn't bother him at all for me to hook up with a girl while we were together, but if i were to hook up with another man, it would be unacceptable. i'm like, really dude? it's cheating either way you slice it... |

| I think that when a lot of straight guys hear "bisexual" from a girl, they interpret it as "barsexual." |

It's Zeus' birthday today!!
I made him an extra big dinner to celebrate - it's a nice, big, cheap steakie with a nice big bone in the middle, plus some chicken thighs which are his favourite dinner moreso than the steakies I think
It's been a great year of progress and understanding between him and I, especially compared to the difficulties of the latter part of his first year |

i think it's just latent (or outright) misogyny. |

| Yeah, it is definitely a misogynist move, to jump immediately to the "least serious" and most male-focused interpretation when a woman tells you she likes women. |

no, not in general, but many of my friends and acquaintances do. |

Do you go up to black people in the US and say 'OMG you're so black, so I think you'll find this picture of black people so interesting!' |
Black people tend to be born black, there generally isn't an intensive course of surgery, hormonal therapy and make-over as part of the process. Lira clearly thinks you're interested in the process, a difficult transition you've been through yourself, and not the straightforward transgender identity of the individual. It's not like he's showing you one picture of a transgender person and expecting you to find their gender identity interesting by default.
And many of your friends and acquaintances are bigots. |

My point was that those photos show nearly nothing about the process of transition, which is largely psychosocial. I should know.
That link is clearly only concerned with showing two extremes of a sensationalist story. It's nothing more than a tabloid story.
I agree about the bigotry, but many of these people are just constantly on the defensive, and for good reason. |
