It doesn't bother me much. I find it a bit strange and something I would never do but I'm not one to dectitate how another person wants to live their life or what they do to their body.

I think it's wrong. It's like defying God.

Just like any medical procedure. Cancer treatments? Defying God. Triple bypass surgery? Defying God. Flu shots? Defying God.

It would be more accurate to say that Transexuality is the act of mutilating your genitalia, but that's not even that bad, since so is circumcision.

My only issue with transexuality is that it can be very confusing (In social situations).

Very true. That's the only problem for me too. But that doesn't bother me much. Anyone who hasn't had the surgery is still his/her biological sex in my opinion, no matter what gender they think of themselves to be. But if they want me to refer to them as the opposite gender, I will do. :shrug: I mean, people are individuals. I don't care what gender they are. Whatever gender they want to be and whatever makes them happy. 😐

We are a god defying species, it's pretty obvious God's been trying to kill us for a while now...

I suppose when I was a child I found it weird when I first learned of it, but now it doesn't matter to me. I agree it does get confusing with the pronouns and all. I had no idea there were new gender neutral terms ("ze" and "hir" mentioned in a previous post). If necessary I just ask how the person would like to be called.

Sometimes I find transsexuality to be weirder in fiction than in real life. Mostly due to lack of realism.

this person who created this poll pretty bias and negative perspective on this. I refuse to vote on something that force to only put negative aspect on this subject! 😀

What, seriously? I've dated a transguy before. I've made presentations for GSA about transsexuality. I think I have a more-positive opinion of transsexuality than the majority of people.
I guess there are more negative than positive choices in the poll, but there are more kinds of negativity than there are of positivity.

What's a neutral choice? Is it like "I don't care"? If you don't care, what's the point of taking the poll?

I should have put an option for people that are trans, though. Hum, you can't edit polls on this forum.

i think those treatments are so that we can survive...and God wants us to live...and circumcision its so that there wouldnt be infections and also for religious beliefs...Jews i think...

I was looking for a "I'm fine with it and I understand it", every choice seems to have a bit of negative connotation- but that just may be. I havent actually met a trans who has gone through all 3 surgeries and procedures but I have met one who mentally is a ftm (female-to-male), and being a good friend, I have understood the sadness behind the inability of be what you want to have been born as- I think this is called Gender dysphoria. I have seen some documentaries about it and from a social and layman standpoint of view, the unusualness might make people feel uncomfortable, but a very very very crude comparison of how a gender dysphoric person might feel in their inborn body would be like you are in a formal party of hours and hours, where you cant leave, cant go anywhere, cant make a noise, cant react and you have this extreme pain in your body that you dont know where it came from, or how it would be better or how you could solve it and noone else has it or understands it or could help you.

I think there are many things out of the ordinary as in more than 50% of the population dont have a condition, but just because you, yourself have fitted the norms by most standards, does not give you the right to ridicule, judge, or think 'why the hell cant they be normal?' about anyone who is unusual in any way.. But then again I think everyone is special in some way..

Say what you will, but those treatments fundamentally change an aspect of our lifestyle, outside of what was planned before human intervention. There is no proper defense, even using religious arguments from the "viewpoint of God". You can't argue that God wants us to live without then giving a reason why an all powerful being who wished something not to happen, in this case death, would then make that thing inevitable.

And it is still mutilation of genitalia. The risk of infection is very minor in places with proper hygiene, and the most commonly cited current reason for the procedure in the western world, even after being informed about the overall lack of benefits for the surgery, is cosmetic preference of the mother.

I can't really judge this thing because I neither feel myself like trapped in the wrong body nor I communicate a lot with transsexuals. But I think it's okay as long as the person had some great issues to take such a decision and is really happy as changed and was not just rich-n-bored, fame chaser and whatnot.

Well, I don't see anything wrong with transexuals, they are people with strong issues regarding sexual identity, but everyone has their own issues, and I think it's closedminded to judge someone else without trying to understand what they are going through.

Transexual or transgender...

I've never had an issue with it. It makes much more difference for them than it does for me. I can't imagine what that feels like, so who am I to say they're wrong in embracing their personal identity.

...Whatever makes you happy.
