Yeah, that's the sex part. People identify with different genders though. So if a man has sex with the person on the cover they will still be considered straight? I know nt had their transexual appreciation posts last year but the topic is still weird.

I can consider myself a bird that doesn't mean I actually am one.  And just because someone considers themselves something doesn't mean they should be allowed to represent people that actually are that thing.


It's like having a Lamborghini kit car on the cover of Lambomag representing all Lambo's.  It's ridiculous and a slap in the face to people.

Now these sort of clever observant posts would've been well met on the 1st pg :lol:

Could've went on a bit of a roll but thread probably would still ended up how it is now.

My comments are pretty straight forward English.
If you cant understand them, how can I expect you to understand anything else I say?
 
I answered both of your questions.
1. Q: What are you basing this on? Answer: Facts
Then I answered your 2nd questions before you even asked it.

Q: What"facts" are you using? A: The fact that it has happened and will continue to happen.
Like I said pretty straight forward.

Opinion-based statements aren't usually considered "facts". So much for "straight forward English". 
 
So when I say the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, in your world that is an opinion-based statement and not a fact.
OK. Do you. I will continue to live in reality.

You should establish your assertions as facts before you start comparing them to historical events.

I still only see your original vague statement. Feel free to PM me the data that supports it! 
 
Transexual people have always been a weird subject for me. I'm a big believer in live and let live so I leave them alone, but it's so ******* weird to me.

As for the magazine cover, having a ****** on there is polarizing which equals more magazine sales and website views.

There is nothing vague about what I said.
It is WELL established to everyone but you that a transgender person feels as though they were born as the wrong gender. So to correct this they have gender reassignment surgery.
Post-op, they feel as though they are now a woman or man and would like to be seen and addressed as such, and are highly offended if they are not.

What you are having a problem understanding is that, that is their assertion. Not mine. And it is well documented.

Secondly it IS historical fact that there have been transgender women who go after straight men. And it is mainly because they feel there is nothing wrong with it.
Sidney Starr is a well known example of this. Before she got famous she would not tell the dudes that were having sex with her that she was born a man.
Later on, after being more recognizable she start to be more honest. But she is not the only one.

These are facts.

My only problem with the transgendered women and men is when they seek the affection of straight men or women without being truthful about their original gender.
It happens ALL THE TIME. Mainly because they themselves are looking to be accepted as the man or woman they transitioned to.

Maybe if I bold my statement like that your kindergarden level comprehension will understand.
 
Can we all just agree to ignore Lionblood for the rest of the thread?

I guess this flew over your head, but I'm interested in your statement here. This is the only part of your post that I quoted a while back, so I don't know why you took the time to explain what it means to be transgender. I repeatedly asked for the facts and you only now provided one concrete example. But, It's me that has the kindergarten* level comprehension? K.

"It happens ALL THE TIME" is a vague statement. What is "ALL THE TIME"? Where did you get that from? Feel free to explain what you based  this on.
 
1. Make an unfounded general statement "ALL THE TIME"

2. When asked for proof and evidence, empirical, anecdotal or otherwise, accuse people of having kindergarten comprehension

3. ???????

4. Profit

Is it really farfetched to believe that some transgender people don't immediately tell everyone they meet that they're transgender?

Your forceful contrarian opinion is corny.

Stop acting like throughout your life that you haven't heard a bunch of stories of transgender people getting assaulted because they weren't truthful about their gender.

I was semi joking before about Jerry Springer but there has been whole episodes dedicated to this very topic on way more serious talk shows. And it always comes down to transgender people not being honest cause they know the reaction that they'll get.

Movies, TV shows, and characters have been dedicated to this topic. And art imitates life.

Stop acting like this isn't a thing. Unless you were literally born this year I don't believe that you've never heard of this and that it's all misguided opinions to you and not fact. Like I said, it's corny.
