I would venture to say it is becoming a "fad" and there are very few butches left (at least in California) that aren't considering or already on testosterone. I know some regret their decision and I know more will in the years to come.<br /><br />In the US you can also be considered "male" or "female" without having the full reassignment surgery in most states. You generally have to be passable and have lived as your chosen gender for a certain amount of time. <br /><br />What pisses me off, as someone who was lesbian for 21 years, is that being transgendered is considered far more aberrant in the US than being gay, yet as soon as a TG person has their gender changed on all their paperwork, they can legally marry someone of the "same sex." Though, I'm not sure they can enroll in the military.<br /><br />I have to wonder... why can't people just be people? There is a very false separation of church and state in the US and it enrages me. If this was honestly a matter of the state, all citizens would have equal rights because they are citizens, marriage being one of those rights.<br /><br />And the horse thing... well, here's what wikipedia says about human/animal marriages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human-animal_marriage<br /><br />xo mMinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156638882137053733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767349627389806156.post-13393415258802590412011-05-24T02:20:34.066+01:002011-05-24T02:20:34.066+01:00On the brother and sister thing, personally I thin...On the brother and sister thing, personally I think its wrong, but even most things that are cultural universals have exceptions, there are parts of the world that such might be accepted, but will seem absurd to us, like the adaptation of platos allegory of the cave I just put up on my blog. <br />One of my friends told me some time ago that there are cultures that teenagers are expected to engage in homosexual relationships, and when they become adults, they are expected to be heterosexuals. I dont exactly know how that works, but you get the point.<br /><br />If back in the day, there were no 'brother, sister' relationship differentiations, I'm certain there'd be more on the above. Just like when to separated siblings (unaware) meet and fall in love, its nothing biological...DutcheEsshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786729484201256199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767349627389806156.post-19536340492309559882011-05-24T00:43:54.616+01:002011-05-24T00:43:54.616+01:00ah yes. so, violet, i don't know if you'r...ah yes. so, violet, i don't know if you're going to read this, but i seriously had the same viewpoint, until my spouse told me that there was going to be a male transformation in my 'butch's future.<br /><br />it's hard to understand, but you need to look further into it if you want.<br /><br />there is much out there ... i'm one who's living your side of the story, and my view point is softening.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081558215651271966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767349627389806156.post-53016876732654041562011-05-23T19:02:48.482+01:002011-05-23T19:02:48.482+01:00@ Rafa - I thought he looked familiar

Cos it was Jerry so it might've been fake. Some people will do anything to get on the telly.<br /><br />@Psycho - Sorry :)<br /><br />@ Violet - I don't think anyone can really understand unless they're in that position.<br />I think it must be awful to have to live as someone different to who you feel inside, and for the people that do it's good they can change - if they can afford it. <br />Over here they will do it on the NHS so it's kind of available to anyone regardless of finances, if they meet the criteria - whatever that is, but cultural acceptance is another matter. <br />But I think that if people were just accepted for who they were then perhaps not everyone would feel the need to go so far.<br />Who knows ? <br />Sadly we live in a far from perfect world and it's never gonna happen.dirtycowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193492692357362402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767349627389806156.post-71540216401933901822011-05-22T22:17:12.003+01:002011-05-22T22:17:12.003+01:00i have split feelings and thoughts about gender sw...i have split feelings and thoughts about gender switcheroo surgery.<br />i know a few people personally who went through with it all the way.<br />owch. i love my parts, and don't want to be different, so i don't get it firsthand.<br />another thing i am confused about is- the fact that this shit takes place mostly among financially affluent, educated whites.<br />the most ungrateful, bored and self-reighteous fucks i ever meet. i live near yale, where they love that "diverse" shit. give degrees in it.<br />can i have a degree?<br />anyhow- labels such as woman and man are now subjective. i hate having to think about usage of pronouns. he/she... who the fuck are you?<br />i want people to fuck and be happy. have babies or adopt if you feel the need. marry if you want to.<br />all of it is a huge "so what" to me.<br />CT called gay marriage "civil unions" for years. then they passed the bill to marriage for same-sex couples. isn't the same thing. is miss and mrs the same thing? nope.<br />but the fact is that state gov't can veto or overturn the bill whenever they fucking want to.<br />i wish that people would learn to love and accept their lives, bodies, and find people who understand and love them. you don't have to chop off your tits or pussy to admit that you identify as masculine. it just makes me sad to think that some feel the need to go to such extremes.<br /><br />and- no, i don't hate on those who do shit like that.<br />i do judge siblings who fuck though.<br />eeewwwwww. gross.<br />too jolie.<br /><br />and p.s.- one of the men i know who had the re-assignment as a "woman" regrets it. i wonder how often that happens.Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00697833087953922332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767349627389806156.post-85943838408422208172011-05-21T17:39:31.024+01:002011-05-21T17:39:31.024+01:00I thought being already totally damaged, nothing c...I thought being already totally damaged, nothing can further harm me.<br />I was wrong. ={ meh ... that picture will be with me till the end of days.Psycho Babbling Basherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232755958213827818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767349627389806156.post-39534613125286578442011-05-21T16:45:52.989+01:002011-05-21T16:45:52.989+01:00A brother and sister living together as a couple? ...A brother and sister living together as a couple?
