Coming from a girl whose well-balanced comments I generally value highly, this comment posted by her some time ago hit me like a brick, and it is still bothering me today.

I was surprised because I have come to believe that women are on the whole more tolerant towards gay relations than men. Why then would their attitude towards the third gender be so very different?

I would love to hear from other girls here. Do you have the same experience and what do you think the reason could be? Could there perhaps be jealousy involved?
