Yep, I’ve seen The Crying Game. I thought it was a good movie but I also believe it plays into the fears of truly 100% heterosexual men and women such as myself when it comes to those who attempt to deceive others in regard to their sexual identity. Women can with the help of medications and surgery truly appear masculine these days, I don’t like that. 

You know Lila, what you shared with me regarding "Iron Eyes Cody" only served to substantiate my assertion that you are who you are born regardless of the physical attributes you take on. He was Italian. He may have lived a life as if he were an American Indian, surrounded himself with native Americans, but in the final analysis he was Italian. And to those who didn’t know his true identity he "duped" them into believing his charade, but …..he was Italian.

The same is true for any woman who chooses to have her breast removed and a penis added to her body. "She" can label herself a man, the world can view her as a man, but the reality is "she" will always be a woman. There are certain medial conditions, diseases and issues that are only found in females. Chastity can have her breasts removed and vagina formed into a penis but the aspects of her true femininity are still there. The health risks that only we women are afflicted with will still be present within her.

I will say this however Lila, you are dead on when you speak of the very small (minute) number of people born with ambiguous genitalia. Theirs is a life that is not easily defined. The horror of being born with both sets of genitalia must be heartbreaking for them. For these few people I can’t begin to speak to their decision to define themselves. But fully functional men and women who knowingly choose to change their genitalia….for these people I question their mindset, but can’t stress or repeat it enough….if they are adults, they have a right to do what they want with their bodies.

I only ask that they are honest with the men and women they meet in life for possible romantic or sexual relationship and confide that they were born one way and had a surgical operation to become someone else. I would be crushed to find out a man I fell in love with was actually a woman.

My my my…those is possibly the most arrogant statements I’ve read on WoW.

Do you presume to know the mind of God?  Oh, wait, don’t tell me…it says it in the bible!  ‘Course it also says we shouldn’t eat shrimp but hey, we can cherry pick, right?

God makes mistakes and I am sure he/she/they/it has giggled about those mistakes.  God also gave us brains and the capacity to use them although this ability is sadly lacking in much of the world’s population.
