What do you think about that?

I'm as open about being trans as I can without wearing a shirt that reads "Tranny". To me being honest is important for me, as well as the gals who can't be, or who will be starting transition soon, or who haven't been born yet. If it's treated like a "dirty secret" by us (you guys and us gals) how is the world supposed to look at us other than freaks, delusional, hell-bound monsters, whatever?

I know hundreds of openly Trans* women in all walks of life. I can count on one hand the number of guys who are open about loving/dating/fucking us. It really seems like guys are hiding under my skirt.

Bionca I really admire your courage. Don't judge all men the same though. If we had a relationship you could tell the world. You could publish our picture and story in my hometown newspapers. You could introduce yourself to my friends, acquaintances, and family as a Transwoman. None of this would matter to me and I would in fact be proud of you for doing so. For me the relationship matters not what others think or say. And yes I am not afraid to get married to a Transwoman.

Well put I simply couldn't agree more.

Trans and homo fobia is evil. It may be based on stupidity or misinterpreted religion but it's still evil because of its very real consequences.

I just had a knock on my door 17 minutes - I kid you not - and it was my otherwise kind neighbour who by reference to the Bible (he is Christian and not Muslim) could tell me that sex between men is no good...

I politely informed him that my personal sex life is indeed personal and indeed mine, but admittedly I was a bit flappergasted by his audacity to try to "enlighten" me. "Better you find a nice wife", he said.

Actually, I may try to enlighten him a little bit and inform him that I don't have sex with men at all... and that a TRANS-wife certainly isn't off the agenda.

Oh well...

I'm always amazed at how many people think it is their duty to stick their nose into someone else's life. You showed good restraint and common decency Hank by being able to talk to him politely.
