Well then we are both pretty damn weird then, you just described my perfect mate also. lolSnowy Rainbow said:Interesting. So very alien to me. I don't imagine it would be nice at all, so I'm glad you seem so happy despite your brain's messages. ^^
I don't think I'd call myself pansexual. If I had to describe my perfect partner, they would have the body of a female, the mind of a transgender female, and both genitals. So... yeah, I'm really damn weird XD

It's called "It gets better" campaign, but a few of the people on it are clearly looking to further themselves and the message is a little odd.Thundero13 said:There are a lot of these videos, all with pretty much the same points, also there is this really funny thing similiar but not the same as that made by a load of celebrities pro gay marriage, it had Lance Bass, Sarah Chalke, George Takei, i'll try and find it.
Ok heres the original video which is serious about banning gay marriage

I didn't want to bring it up but since the subject has come up I have thought often about how wonderful it would have been if I was born that way. But I am sure my Parents would have gone with surgery sad to say.Snowy Rainbow said:Hermaphrodites are so extremely rare and are almost 100% of the time given surgery upon birth to "correct" the issue.Baradiel said:Hermaphrodites should inherit the earth.

I won't even try to say that is wrong or to question the parent's choice. I've never been in that situation and I find it extremely understandable to want your baby to be normal and have the best chance at fitting in to society and feeling comfortable. But I do find it sad that gender roles and sexes are so important to us that this course of action is the "obvious" course of action.
I know exactly what you mean. Hermaphrodites would just be "too weird" to survive in society. They'd end up on freakshows and such.Snowy Rainbow said:Hermaphrodites are so extremely rare and are almost 100% of the time given surgery upon birth to "correct" the issue.Baradiel said:Hermaphrodites should inherit the earth.

I'm not excluding anything, I'm just trying to explain where the people you quoted were most likely coming from. The term may be valid, but is not applicable for the cases these people had in mind.somonels said:So, are all who accuse homosexuals of disrespectful social behavior intolerant or homophobic?conflictofinterests said:I think the point they were trying to get across is that people who accuse homosexuals of "flaunting" their homosexuality are actually accusing them of being open and honest about their sexuality, and that term does not apply in either homosexual or heterosexual cases.
Don't some homosexuals use intolerance and homophobia, or even the fear of accusal, as an excuse to act out[footnote]To express (unconscious impulses, for example) in an overt manner without conscious understanding or regard for social appropriateness.[/footnote]?
The term is very valid, people just don't read dictionaries anymore, using words they are only vaguely familiar.

On a personal level, my ideal mate would be as gender flexible as me. Roleplay is such a big part of my mind that finding someone who has as fluid of a sexual mentality as me would be amazing. I can literally jump from wanting to roleplay as a young girl to wanting to be the master in a BDSM relationship at the drop of a hate, lol. Oddly, cross-dressing and the like never enters into it; it's all mental. I think that's because so little of my roleplay is sexual, actually. Most of the time I just want to behave certain ways with others... More for me to ponder!
cause androgyny is so sexy unless, of course, you are not attracted to androgynous people in which case femininity/masculinity aka gender characteristics are hot.Snowy Rainbow said:I've never liked gender roles.

I'd LOVE to be born that way! But yeah, my parents would have instantly opted for the surgery. But I wouldn't blame them. I'd be sad (I think, having never been in that position I don't know and I'm sure someone, somewhere has been and hated their life) but I wouldn't blame them.Broken Boy said:I didn't want to bring it up but since the subject has come up I have thought often about how wonderful it would have been if I was born that way.

It's one of those things I absolutely HATE to say, but until society changes, I don't know if it's fair to ask a child to live that way. They could love it, not care or hate it, but the way they could be treated would just be... heartbreaking and possibly deadly to them on top of those personal feelings. Very difficult.Baradiel said:I know exactly what you mean. Hermaphrodites would just be "too weird" to survive in society.

Evolution is fine and dandy until the current batch decide they're the best. Then, anything different is considered "wrong".
Probably the most awesome phrase I heard this week!Snowy Rainbow said:Evolution is fine and dandy until the current batch decide they're the best. Then, anything different is considered "wrong".
I was stating that I personally dislike them and find them useless in my life. I don't know where Man's evolution will take us so I wouldn't comment on that.DracoSuave said:cause androgyny is so sexy unless, of course, you are not attracted to androgynous people in which case femininity/masculinity aka gender characteristics are hot.Snowy Rainbow said:I've never liked gender roles.

Your fallacy is assuming that we've stopped evolving as a species. This is not true. One cannot intellegently decide gender roles are irrelevant. Only natural selection can. If it still exists, there's generally a reason.
This is part of a Western, Euro-centric mindset. There are cultures in which inter-sex people, including hermaphrodites, are part of the gender system. Not to say the Western, Euro-centric mindset shouldn't be changed, but there are places that are much more accepting of such things (in a way... There are still pretty strict gender roles for everyone as far as I know, just no "There's no place for you, therefore you are an abomination and must die in fire")Snowy Rainbow said:Hermaphrodites are so extremely rare and are almost 100% of the time given surgery upon birth to "correct" the issue.Baradiel said:Hermaphrodites should inherit the earth.
