Aren't we all, though? I don't think anyone has strictly male or strictly female personality characteristics.Dannywilson wrote:Hell, my shrink says I'm slightly gender dysphoric, but I take that with a grain of salt.

It's the fact that you go threw every day, and everyone thinks your one gender, when your mind is another. It's a matter of making mind and body match. Dispite the enhrient risks, and the time involved. The process is about 2 years minimum, with a $14 000 surgery at the end. (Sayonara Mr. Happy. XD). My risks for breast cancer and varoius other cancers will be about 20-40 % higher then the average female, and I'll lose some 10 years off my life span. I'm only 19 though, so there's time to kill... literally. o_O
And the hormone pills will give me all the curves and what not. XD Prospectivly, I'll be -living- and accepted as a normal functing heterosexual female in late 2003.
This is of course bullshit. You can't get pregnent so you are not a female. There is no way a guy can actually be a girl let's just clear the air on this even if you inject yourself with Estrogen all year. You will never be a real girl. Ok what would you be? Oh I can't say it I don't really like to insult people. Maybe you should be in a nice place where men in white coats will help you. I don't know about anybody else but when I look down at Mr Ed I don't say "Gee what a good idea that would be to cut him off" The worst part of anime is all the transexual freaks in it. Doesen't make any sense to me.
Mr Oni
You're confusing "gender" with "sex". A majority of the English-speaking world does so, but since semantics is core to your argument, I might as well address the problem.
The former term is used to denote a state of mind and behavior. The latter term describes a physical form. It is entirely possible for a male to behave and think like a female, and vice versa.
If that's Izumi's situation, then what exactly is preventing him/her (argh I hate pronouns) from changing sex to match the gender?
Anatomy? OK, fine, maybe she won't have functioning female reproductive organs. But so what? Does this mean that females who choose to have a hysterectomy lose the quality of being female?
Fertility? By your argument, infertile females aren't female anymore.
Does that make any sense? I hope it doesn't.
Bleh.
Anyway, my opinion on the whole subject, for what little it's worth:
It doesn't bother me. I've got bigger issues to worry about. Like smacking down idiots.
A girl is a girl and a guy is a guy it's that simple if you are born one you can't be the other no arguing about it. A girl that can't make a baby is a girl that's broke a guy isn't susposed to make a baby. There's no need to try to reason with it. I put this on the same level as being sexually attracted to sheep.

I find it just fucking ridiculous that some of you idiots cant step down from
your fucking soapboxes to listen to what DJ has to say. This thread isn't
about your opinions on the internet or what defines gender its about
seeing life from the perspective of someone other than you. And if you
don't want to be a part of that, then don't fucking read the thread. You
always have the right not to respond. I for one am interested in hearing
what has to be said. So shove your personal agendas up your asses and
either listen respectfully or get the fuck off this thread.

Fuck you if thats all you consider us to be. I never have been, and I will never be your "Lab Rat". If that's all you're here for, get the fuck out and don't come back. I fucking mean it. Leave and don't show your face around here again.
