What does wrankle me a bit is the seeming hypocrisy some exhibit in this and even the 'horse fucking' thread.
I accept THESE sexual oddities and you should to or you are a bigot, but THOSE other ones are wrong.
I level this as a general charge as I don't see a need to pick people out.
My point is if you have a limit as to what is acceptable, you (and I'm using the imperial you, not you specifically) should have a bit more empathy for those who perhaps have different limits. |
Well, I hope Im not leadin the conversation of course, and Im not a moderator on this site and I dont expect I ever will be, but I think many people will find it hard to understand how the stated ethos of this site is compatible with the describtion of gender change as an "oddity", or the clearly intended comparison between transexuals and people fucking horses.
I just dont understand really people's need to judge all the time... if someone feels they are a woman in a man's body, or vica verca, why feel the need to describe this as mental illness... we have scientific technique's capable of making such a person feel happier in their skin - for what reason is there to condemn them? Who else does it hurt?
I dont think I should be ashamed for a child of mine to learn that some women want to be men, or men want to be women... I dont see it at all as a corruption, and the parents who complain stike me as ridiculous. If they have a sensible moral point, I havent heard it. If they want to tell me that their bible says it is forbidden, I can only say that I will not listen to a Christian quote Leviticus at me while they eat shellfish and celebrate their conception of God with a roasted ham.
