I overheard this tv show last night and they had young people with this thing called "gender identity disorder" there even was a six year old!
What do you think could be going in this peoples' minds?
I think they just need to accept that they're what they are and the will never be the sex they want to be.
I know it sounds a little harsh but the truth is these are just confused people who need to stop being selfish and accept his/herself for what they are.
First: Why?
And second: I'm pretty sure it's not that easy.
It's like this, a guy who wishes to be a female could be compared to a white person wanting to be black or Asian.
Yea, I remember when I was kid (up to 13-14), i wanted to be a girl, and I used to hangout with girls. The thing is, if sex is the very center of your life, and you sit all day obsessing nad thinking, it will mess you up.
sure teens are curious about their bodies, but I wonder how curious they are about other things? about their environment....
i used to think i wanted to be a girl. then i realized that i just like girly things and that i don't really care if people think i'm weird for being a straight guy who wears really girly clothes and plays with dolls and stuff.
... ... ... Good for you champ keep it up!
being a lesbian would be great, a lot less complicated, but this is my lot in life and i'll take it
>>5 Straight, It wasn't so complicated. Maybe my "issue" was not complex, or maybe people like to make a big deal out of stupid little things. I would say, that there is not a reason to put titles over ourselves. Just go with the flow and do what you feel like doing.

michael jackson isnt white though. he may have had plastic surgery and skin bleaching etc, but he's not white. he'll never be white, because everyone knows he started as a cute little black kid singing with his family. he occupies a kind-of in between state. its like somebody who gets a sex change, are they really truely able to become the opposite sex? theres plenty of arguments on both sides, but in general the public wont see them as either male or female, and instead place them as some freak that doesnt fit in. its a shame, but its because our society feels the need to have 2 definate opposite pairs (man/woman etc) - something thats come from our patriarchal social system, supposedly.
i dont think its safe to classify someone with gender identity disorder at such a young age... at least wait til they're out of adolesence.
I played with my sister's doll when I was younger. But I didn't play it like a girl, I raped it and kissed it imagining that I was having sex with a hot chick. Yes, it was perverted. And i'm OK with my sister trading her toys with me but I never turned out homo unlike her. Now she's a lesbian, she could've been really hot as a woman but I guess I just have to live with it. Damn people who can't accept what they are. I wish they'd grow up.

Sometimes knowing the difference between the genders isn't as easy you wish they were. Gender is an as fluent definition as sexuality: It's not as binary as you probably think.
We simplify to make our lives easier.
Both genders stem from the same base, we just develop differently.
As a foetus, we're identical up to a certain point, then the basic penis/clitoris structure grows to different sizes for males and females. In the males the area below grows fused to a phallic piece, while as in the females it grows to a hole. There are so very many things that can happen not only during the foetal development, but also after birth during the decade(s) of development, that leaves you with not a stereotype sex development.
To take one very random excerpt:
"An example of the problem with chromosomal definition would be a woman with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS), who would have a 46,XY karyotype, which is typically male. Although she may have been legally registered as female on her birth certificate, been raised as a female her entire life, have engaged in typical heterosexual female relationships, and may even have married before the status of her condition was known, using the chromosomal definition of sex could prevent or annul the marriage of a woman with this condition to a man, and similarly allow her to legally marry another woman. These same issues were faced by the IOC to determine who qualified as a female for the women's competitions.[16]"

dhurrr. Mmm, squishy tired brains making too many typos.
>Sometimes knowing the difference between the genders isn't as easy you wish they were.
dude! One is a dick the other is a hole?? How much more simple can it get???
>>23 I am going to suck your cock and lick your ass while wanking your daddys cock and feeting your mother. :D
I used to have GID...
I was very popular for it LMAO.
You got a penis you are a man. Thinking you are in the wrong body is gay.

So if a chick gets surgery done, and suddenly has a penis, does that mean she's a guy?
What about the men who get into awful accidents and no longer have genetalia? They're no longer men? Does that mean they're chicks without vags? Or what?
>>28
Flawed logic. If a chick gets surgery done, she cannot have a penis. Not in the regular, functional, anatomical way.
Never.
Men who lost their penises are just that: men, who lost their penises.
>>28
When men get their penis cut off and put inside out to "simulate" a vagina they still dont have a proper functioning female genitalia. Same for women who get surgeries to look like a men.
Either way its disgusting that this faggotry is allowed.

What about >>19's example, then?
"An example of the problem with chromosomal definition would be a woman with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS), who would have a 46,XY karyotype, which is typically male. Although she may have been legally registered as female on her birth certificate, been raised as a female her entire life, have engaged in typical heterosexual female relationships, and may even have married before the status of her condition was known, using the chromosomal definition of sex could prevent or annul the marriage of a woman with this condition to a man, and similarly allow her to legally marry another woman. These same issues were faced by the IOC to determine who qualified as a female for the women's competitions."
What is someone who by chromosomes should have been male, but wound up not growing a penis?
Well, I guess that given that statement, she's a female who bears XY chromosomes. But she might also just be called androgyne, or 'intersex'. Anyway that's a very specific case, and I think that you can't really enclose it in the male/female debate.
And no, it's not just a question of having a penis or not, even if that's the biggest part. Pun intended.
