Now the discsussion has shifted from self-centered concerns to those of social responsibility. There is no doubt in my mind that Gor Gar is right that some, if not many, cases of transgenderism are caused by abuse. I would like to broaden the definition of abuse to include mental abuse, and not just actual sexual abuse. I would suggest that there are many roads that lead to transgender status, and the map is far from being finished. From postings on this forum it is obvious that some members are inclined in a homosexual way in that they rave on about pics of guys butts and dicks, while at the other end of the spectrum we have guys who only like very feminine looking Tgirls. Then there are the members who are fully Tgirls, whose inputs are a very valuable asset to this forum and should be fully considered.
So...just like the Tgirls we all have pasts ( our path ) that has lead us to the present. You could just as well ask if the Tgirls are contributing or, as Gor Gar put it, "cashing in" on our behavior and fantasies. The nitty-gritty of the matter is that we all use one another. It is up to us to do so in an equitable manner. I see no reason for anyone to feel guilty about their participation in any facet of life if they are not harming others. Now that may be a very difficult thing to determine and in some cases impossible. Who can forsee every consequence of their actions? The best we can do is think (meditate, pray, etc) and inform ourselves about the matter and follow our conscience. Just remember that we all rationalize our behavior; it is your duty to get as much data as possible and never to set your conclusions in stone; more information may present itself to modify or reverse your conclusion.
For those of you who read these discussions and never comment; I, and others here, urge you to do so. Your input is valuable data and is appreciated by many regardless of your position.
