Interesting to see how old these posts are! I remember reading Bionca’s response to “ShowMeLove” long before I was a member here and I thought what she said was right on. I know that it helped me to better understand my own feelings and what I was going through in my life at the time.

We are about to enter a new decade--hopefully this will at last be the start of the “21st century.” The last two centuries have been largely about physical, mechanical, and electronic discoveries. Human beings are amazingly complex and we are only just beginning to understand some of the events that occur as we develop. I have always believed that our next real breakthroughs will occur as we look inward. The Human Genome project was just the start.

I have only been aware of my attraction to trans women for about two or three years now. Although “open minded” I too have gone through the same questioning of my sexuality that others have gone through. I read the posts in the “If U Like Shemales R U Gay?” thread and find myself hoping that these individuals will come to understand their feelings just as I have mine and realize that the beautiful “shemales” they are attracted to are indeed women--as are their trans co-workers or friends. Is it really so hard to accept that a person could be born female and yet have external male genitals or vice versa? Science is only now learning what goes on during those nine months and I believe that someday we will come to a more enlightened view of human sexuality and not be so quick to place labels on who or what we are.

As the year ends I find myself doing quite well; I have a terrific career, a beautiful new ladyfriend, and of course my many new friends on this forum with whom I have been able to share something very special.

Happy New Year to all!
