Bahamut, I wish you would stop bringing this up. I already told you it's a DIFFERENT thing! Men who want to be women aren't even necessarily gay, they are transsexual! They feel the same as you would, were you to wake up in a female body tomorrow. They feel as if they are trapped inside the wrong body. To their mind, they really ARE female, just in the wrong body, so if they like men, to them that's heterosexuality. This is a serious disorder but there is nothing to be despised about it. Again, I'm glad I live in a tolerant, sensible country, where the few people who are born like this (and I'm NOT talking drag queens) can be councelled and even get surgery. What you are talking about, I think, are just effeminate gay men. Well, tough luck if you don't like their behaviour! I'm not particularly fond of it either, but you are sounding so intolerant of people's differences I can't believe it.
I would name myself Jennifer and hunt for the local grocers *cough*
Seriously, though, it is definitely two different things, although I suspect Bahamut is not the only thought otherwise. Hence Tobbin's comments about society itself being poop
me, I don't give 2 hoots one way or the other. If people wanna be gay, let them. If they wanna change sex, let them. Incidentally, in the UK, a sex change does not show on your Birth Certificate. So, if ya man forces intercourse with a man who became a woman it is treated as indecent assault, not rape
