well i did,

i was on my way home and i was taking the train. I saw a "gay" (male) person and it made me think. what if a "gay" man who is a woman and a "gay" woman who is a man is in love with each other. I mean, the man (who is the woman) loves a man (yet is a woman) and the woman (who is a man) is in love with a woman (who is really a man). Are they even called gay to begin with because the concept of gay is a woman and a woman or man to man yet the man who is a woman is in love with a man who is a woman and vice versa. So in truth the man is gay because he loves a man in heart yet a woman in body and so on..

my brains is starting to hurt now .. walks away muttering incoherently.. [img]graemlins/confused2.gif[/img]

I think you mean transexual, not gay!

I once solved the meaning of life, the universe, and everything while lying in bed after ingesting some rather 'interesting' funghi. ;) Unfortunately I can't remember what the answer was, other than it had something to do with sharks having a large number of teeth. Shortly after this, I reasoned myself out of existence and dissolved into the mattress. Which was interesting. :D

i think you may be right there Epona ;) . :D . I hope Im not interested in finding the meaning of life anytime soon.

I believe the answer was 42, Epona ;)

Or you might mean poof? There was a story on this topic in a Dark Angel episode. A normal guy was dating a girl who turned out to be an ex-guy (had an operation) so was a man in a woman's body. Then "she" decided she was a lesbian :S I.e. she liked other women, although technically, she was born a man so she's actually straight?? LOL.

Hark, I'd say this topic is an example of something wierd being thought of out of the blue :D

ok, now I am completely pondering the meaning of all this...so what you are saying is perhaps a gay woman falls in love with another woman, who just happens to have once been a man, would that make her straight? or would that make the transexual straight? hmmm..*goes off wondering what was just said*

I once had this idea about timetravel out of the blue.

What if you built a time machine, went back in time andchanged history so you never built the time machine... then you'd never go back in time to avoid the timemachine being built, so you'd never travel in time so the time machine would again be built so you'd go back in time destroy it and then it would never be built...

Another one I had...
What if our whole universe is just one cell in another universe, just one cell in a organism in that universe, which in turn is just a cell in an even bigger universe... and all organisms in this universe are made of cell sized universes of their own... [img]smile.gif[/img]
Kind of blows your mind... [img]smile.gif[/img]

No, if you went back in time and changed it so you never built the time machine, you'd get stuck in the past (now your present) and your life would play out normally from there. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It's like a feedback control system - when trying to work out the system's transfer function, you don't eternally keep resubstituting the expression for the output into the one for the input, you only do it once and then stop. This last bit probably didn't make any sense unless you've done control system desgin [img]tongue.gif[/img]

roflmao, I used to think almost the same things, but my thought was more, what if you went back in time, and prevented your parents from having you somehow, then you would not be born, but if you are not born, how could you go back and stop it?
as for the universe, I used to think the close to the same thing

::clears throat and folds hands:: As somebody has already said 42, I'll put on my Information Center hat and respond to the initial question.
Let's consider Person A and Person B.
Person A starts out in a male body, is attracted to men, but does not feel as if he is in the correct-gendered body. Person A gets a sex change operation but is still attracted to men.
Person B starts out in a female body, is attracted to women, but does not feel she is in the correct body, either. Person B gets a sex change operation but is still attracted to women.

If they were to meet, I see no reason why they would not be able to be attracted to each other, provided they saw in each other what they usually found attractive.
