Or to go more extreme, if a transwoman was born amongst a colony of only transwomen people, and knew nothing of females, would they feel a desire to reassign their genitals? It's hard to imagine so.

Then again, if one grew up without a penis, and lived amongst women only, having never seen a penis, could they still desire to suck a cock? Perhaps all desires have their origins in our social circumstance.

To me it's kinda simple... ppl keep mistaking genitals for gender... trans*ppl as well as others. Based on my PERSONAL experience (mind you, I'm NOT a scientific researcher - I only react empirically to what my friends and lovers tell me), very few trans*women truly want to cut anything off. Some do, and all best wishes to those who do... but they are hardly representative of trans*women on a broader scale.

Society is to blame for many things. Certainly a lack of true democratic openmindedness that seems to be so hard for any one to accept.

And in that lack of understanding, our democratic law makers keep missing the point. Based on stupidity and a little bit of hatred too, I'm sure.

Taboo rules the world!

Trannies are freaks, ain't they? Pathetic and confused souls with a screwed up mind! Ain't they? The kind of non-ppl we all laugh about and shake our better-witted heads over because we have obviously from the very beginning understood that their gender issues are just hillarious and so totally "elephant-man..." So at least, if they take them selves seriously, then the least they could do is to mutilate them selves. We'll still smile, but at least - after they are severely mutilated - we MAY grant them their ridiculous wishes... the poor, confused souls... who cares? They don't matter a bit any ways... do they?

I get your point, tgsexual, but I still get so sad when this issue comes up, bcuz it is so unreasonable.
