you know most of life's pursuits are just foolish and plain stupid.
cheating on my wife and kids included its wrong, paying a women hundreds of bucks and hour is simply wrong, but we do it,
life isn't perfect, I am not perfect far from it,
but I am not cutting off body parts.
I am doing something I can make amends for, wake up one morning and say that is enough of that, chasing skirts, paying for women and guess what no harm no foul.
its wrong but I do it , because im a horny stupid foolish man,
nothing to be proud about,
but how do you lump of body parts and wake up one morning and say, well enough of that,
again from a guy in his sixties most of life is just stupid and foolish, but life is pretty forgiving and kind dust yourself off get up off the ground and keep on going,
kind of hard to do when your cutting of parts of your body,,
sorry I think its wrong,
so is this what I am in what I am doing, but one day I will come to my senses,
when you lump of your dick, and you realize what a fool you have been then what.
a gay person I work with told me once,
so you think I am accepted, I am not people are just being politically correct, that don't accept me any more then they ever did,
All those that pooh pooed me, I wonder if your just being politically correct, afraid to say what they feel.
Well, since I was one of the harsher responders to your post...and after re-reading the above a few times, I see you don't get it. It's not just 'lumping off your dick' one morning because a whim. Really?? You think this is what someone with gender issues, and with all that comes with having such an issue of self identity comes up with? People who have this issue aren't just doing it for fashionable purposes, so they look more pretty in a dress.
I mean, jeez 7of9, these people who have this issue are making a huge decision when they have the procedures done to begin to be what they've been on the inside for all their lives. It's more than just a gay man wanting to be a girl...and I don't know since i haven't done any search on the subject whether or not it's reversable, but I doubt anyone who has had the operations, hormone treatments, suddenly goes " I miss my dick" and runs down to the doctor's to say 'can you put me back'...
The thing is...most people who have gender reasignment surgery and therapies have already mostly come to terms with what they have to do, have done...etc.
What you have done, since you've cheated on your wife for years and years with an sp you clearly have an emotional attachment to...any woman I know wouldn't accept an amends from her partner after that sort of infidelity, especially after years of lying to her. You might make amends, but you will have hurt her so deeply, 7of9. I don't know how you can think that what you do can equate what someone who has gender issues with your stepping out on your wife and family...apples and oranges.
As a man who've has been around for a while, in his 60's...you really haven't seen past the end of your own nose on much. For me, accepting people for what they are, who they are, who they love, etc is not me just being politically correct, conditioned by current fashion to accept those who live differently from me; it how I really am. I don't know the journeys people take through their lives, what they struggle with everyday...but who am I to scorn or minimize what it is that they're going through?
Colour, creed, sexuality, origin...upbringing, whatever. I've always accepted people as they are. I have gay friends, straight joes like you as friends, weirdo musicians like me, lesbians, people of other ethnic origins, etc... As you might be able to tell, I'm not afraid to say what's on my mind whether it's here on this forum or in public. I am not afraid of gay people, transgendered, lesbians who ride harleys or even those kids dressed up as their favourite japanimation characters...I don't really care what it is you do with yourself to express yourself, to be who you are. Just don't do harm, fuck up the enviroment or be a jerk....we'll get along just fine.
