Honestly, I can't say that I do want to know. It's one of my own shortcomings that I'm very uncomfortable with homosexuality, transexuality and bisexuality. My opinion runs in the popular 'what you do behind closd doors is your own business' vein, but I don't want the graphic details, particularly.

The only part that confuses me on occasion is what the proper pronouns to use are, as this seems to be personal preference. I once knew a crossdresser who, while in drag, insisted that (and I quote) "I still have a pair of balls between my legs", although I don't know if that's really the same as a transexual. At what point does an individual change gender identities and is it a conscious decision? Further, how does one go about communicating such a transition?
