Aha. They put /lev in the URL twice. It's here

Oooh, it's all a bit "obsessive compulsive" is it not?

what did they think it would be washed with?

Didn't Victorian moralists come up with some particularly gruesome variant of the chastity belt in order to prevent wet dreams? I don't even want to think about how it might have worked, but it sounds like the kind of oddly fetishistic thing I'd expect from the smugly moral majority.

Or maybe I just imagined it. In which case I'm even more scared.

it probably helped, not hindered

Everybody got that?

How old are you, again? If they ask you for your ID at the entrance to Josephs Well, I suggest you just say something and they'll surely let you in.

A back-handed compliment if ever there was one!

I do believe it's the attitude of this place, and where it puts it's priorities, that gets to me more than anything. The "OH that was such a GREAT post ^_^", "No, old chum, YOURS was such a great post! Now give me your penis", "Oh you're so mature and intelligent!" "No, you're so mature and intelligent! *scream*" isn't helping.

Perhaps if people would stop wanking each other united in their amazing attempt to rid the board of my differing view on their humour, I might take more kindly to this place.

Practice what you preach. If you judge and p*ss about, I'm entitled to too. The last time I said that, I noticed nobody addressed it, instead saying how BORED they were. How terribly convenient.

I can't remember the figures, but I have read that a large proportion of post-op transsexuals consider that the operation was the worst mistake they've ever made.

This is most certainly not true. Where did you even hear this? You have to be careful as many people really do set out to discredit transsexuals as a whole with supposed "research". Luckily, it usually gets shunned by the rest of the psych/medical/scientific community.

There are far more genuine resources which will show you how wrong this is.

This is one such example of "research" which should never have been published: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... s&n=507846

If you check on the reviews for the book, nearly all of the positive ones come from people where this is their only review, and they also seem to say scarily the same thing.

Hmm.

[qupte]I've also read that it is at least possible that transsexualism is not in fact a gender/sexuality related issue, but a form of body dysmorphic disorder (like Anorexia and Bulimia) where the sufferer fixates on gender (rather than physical size) as what is "wrong" with them.[/quote]

I have no idea what to say to that, other than that you've been exposed to very little and very selective information on the issue.

The brain of an MtF reacts very similiarly to the brain of a natural female, even before hormonal treatment. There was a "gender science" program on the BBC recently which leads you to believe differently, but it was really a whole load of outdated nonsense, appealing to pop culture rather than anyone with a scientific point of view, putting everything down to testosterone.

While you can't say this is entirely true, as there are only so many dead transsexual brains to work on, they still generally have all the same "symptoms", so there's no reason to believe that the behaviour patterns
of transsexuals would be any different from the ones whose brains were
tested.

And what's wrong with letting people be themselves, anyway? They're not going to be as unheathly or physically malformed as an anorexic. And unlike Anorexia, it can't be cured by psychological means.

It's highly controversial and has been dismissed as utter tosh by anyone else who is an expert in that field

I do know that there is a large spectrum of people that consider themselves transgendered or transsexual, and it's probably impossible to generalise about them all.

That's why there's such a harsh and lengthy procedure for classing someone as trans. But really, most of the time you know yourself, and the tests only prove you right. There are times when someone makes a mistake, but it's much, much rarer than the media would have you believe, almost to the point of insignificance.

I don't know what point I'm trying to make here actually... I have only ever met one transsexual (that I know of ) and she seemed like a perfectly normal person.

Transsexuals are mostly "perfectly normal people".

I can see we're in for the duration then...

Rosalie, Frankie says relax.

Leave.

Marvellous idea. Though if someone does find you this tedious, pathetic and unpleasant, maybe you should consider treating them with a little more respect instead of chasing them away?

Rosalie, it's really very simple.

I'm here because I like this place and the people in it.

That's why I post here and not on some board (and there are millions) which I deem to be full of irritating and unpleasant people.

If you like this place, stay.
If you don't, GO! And leave us to our sad little lives and our pathetic closed minds.

PLEASE!

someone do something.. it's getting like the chat room on the darkness board on here

There's a well known saying:

Arguing over the Internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win you're still a retard.

Enough.
