Wasn't there an American Life about a pyromaniac where it turned out to be caused by sexual frustration? Once he found a girlfriend he lost the urge.

Got another spicy-hot "I secretly have conservative beliefs" confession herequote:I sincerely believe transsexuals are mentally ill. It just happens that the best treatment appears to be going along with them and performing sex reassignment surgery. quote:My sister has gone crazy and I'm feeling forced to cut her out of my life. I want some perspective so I'm sure I'm not just being an rear end in a top hat for no reason. just culture-warrin' it up nonstop ITT

That's actually not a transphobic stance. It comes from a good place and is basically the mainstream medical stance on gender dysmorphia

In my experience it's just a thing people say to make a friend feel good with the small print being that if you forget to buy their kid a gift they'll make you feel extra bad about it.

Xmas is not a non-religious version of Christmas. The X is actually indicating the Greek letter Chi, which is short for the Greek, meaning Christ. So Xmas and Christmas are equivalent. At one time, it was a very popular practice, particularly with religious scribes, who are thought to have started the whole Xmas thing in the first place. The practice of using the symbol X in place of Christ’s name has been going on among religious scholars for hundreds if not more than a thousand years.

The only practical difference between "transgendered people have a problem where they're born in the wrong body" and "well ACTUALLY transgendered people have a mental illness where the right body for them isn't the one they were born into" is that even though you recognize that transitioning is the best choice which creates the greatest good, you still have the arbitrary desire to characterize that choice with stigma and weakness. Basically, you have enough moral intuition that your standpoint is congruent with the correct one, but you take special care to articulate your standpoint using implicit pejoratives and a negative tone because justifying at least a little bit of hate towards trans people is important to you. Hope this helps.

I get this but I don't know why you would trust the person with the mental illness to self-diagnose both the root cause and the solution.

Personally I just don't understand why anyone would consider a massively invasive surgery that is hugely disruptive to someone's life to be an ideal solution. Best we can do now? Absolutely! But ideal even in case of medical/psychological advances? Really, you'd still make them go around and announce to everyone and spend months on hormones in a between state, and then get cut open and reconstructed, even if there was some kind of future/magic alternative treatment that would just make them perfectly happy with their present body? Also, if it's not a mental illness then what is being treated by the surgery? I know you're not arguing that reassignment is elective cosmetic surgery, and the only other kind is curative. And if you think that it's so special and unique that it is a new category of thing that is not a problem but still requires--needs--a cure, I would like to hear a clarification.

ok ok ok I already think of trans people 7 hours a night in bed in a fever dream of lust so lets snap this thread back to reality until the op gets out of the naughty corner http://www.confessions.net/ Am i a bad person? I met this guy a few years ago, online. he wa amazing to talk to and i found myself falling in love with him. the problem is that i finally met in person him a few months after we met, and i found out his looks were not as amazing as his personality. i'm ashamed to say that i can't even go anywhere in public with him because i'm pretty good looking and i think being with him makes me look bad.
