George S asked in Social ScienceGender Studies · 10 years ago

What is wrong with my answer? Would including the omission have made it more acceptable?

I gave an answer to the question from Auhem117: "Politics: Do you think of me as a girl although I'm transgender?" I foolishly omitted that because I entertain the possibility people have spirits (souls, etc), transgender is automatically possible in my mind, and I do not understand why religious people who believe in human spirit/soul would question its possibility.

I did note in my answer that I view her generally as how she was born, but accept wherever she goes from there. I also recalled long ago passing an extremely beautiful lesbian and I could not avoid thinking: "Oh no, not you."

I know many LGBT wouldn't like my answer to Auhem117 and/or my reaction to the beautiful lesbian, but I make no apology for anything but the omission.

If you do object to my reaction to the beautiful lesbian, why would you ever expect a straight male to react otherwise? Can you see it's bigotry in you that would, not in me? Do you actually think I could or would ignore the extreme beauty of a woman and not desire her just because she happened to be lesbian? Of course I would not expect her to respond to me nor be so ridiculous to try convincing her to "change."

I have great regret for my omission, but if it was the desire for a beautiful lesbian that got me trashed, I would like an apology for that PC insanity.

    yeah dude i know what you mean. I hear a lot about equality and freedom to be who you are and free from judgment from the more progressive people in the world but at they same time they are the same people who would eat you alove if you phrased something wrong or used the wrong word. God forbid that you say mexican instead of latino, or black instead of African American, even if it used in a non offensive way.

    They are so quick to call you bigot or fundamentalist or racist or whatever, but they themselves are the more close minded because they cannot possibly understand how you might even dare to oppose their enlightened opinion.

    when I see a beautiful heterosexual man i don't think "Oh no, not you" I think "Oh well, sucks to be me and some lucky gal is gonna be ... lucky"

    The way you have expressed yourself in every syllable of your post reeks of homophobia and you can't wriggle out if it.

    In this forum, contributors are often judged by people that don't really know them. Please don't wear you heart on your shoulder. Just realize who you are dealing with.
