Yeah, to me I don't think of myself as gay. I just say that in a lot of discussions on here because it's a lot easier than going into details. And to try and explain being transgendered to people who don't even understand gay, seems kinda pointless a lot of the time lol
So yeah, I wouldn't say I'm gay myself, but to avoid getting conversations away from the point and onto my gender identity, I just stick to the gay/straight thing.


i understand cause it's the opposite side of the coin to the way i can find attraction in women without being gay or even bi...

there's a "forced" difference in the quality of the attraction... this point is diff for everyone... hence the spectrum of straight/bi/gay


and yes, everyone has some attraction to both sexes, but that point does still exist...

i myself, feel an indifference towards most sexual things with women... which given the right context... i could definitley explore and obtain some kind of titilation from sexual activities... provided the right motivation

but of my own sexual inertia... what do i spend my time daydreaming about? men...

i've acted on some sexual things with women but have never had a romantic interest... not to say i couldnt fall in love with a person of the feminine gender

I've never really been attracted to men in a romantic or sexual way, always just as friends. Although I can find some men attractive, just like a straight woman could find other women attractive, but not actually like them like that themselves. I tend to prefer more feminine people, but I doubt I'd ever like a feminine man, because I wouldn't be physically attracted to them as well, and for a relationship, it'd have to be both for me.

And that in itself should actually show I haven't 'chosen' to be transgendered as some attention-seeking thing.
And Hadron, you seem to throw that out a lot. Mostly when you're obviously losing an argument. I guess it's easier to just accuse everyone else of attention seeking, rather than getting some half decent points to support your side.


he likes to argue opinion for fact.

like there's so many gays in england it's negaitvely effecting birthrate :roll:

and there's so many convient loopholes to dodge any sort of proof to back up his bigotry.... like "it'd be un-pc say address the matter"

Yeah, gay 'marriage' has been legal here for about 1 and a half years now. I don't see many bisexual people suddenly deciding to leave the different sex partner and marry someone of the same sex though, like he suggested would happen lol

I'm not answering any more of your pointless questions on this, until you explain to me how it is a game.

Fair enough. If you are biologically a woman, you are one. (and the same for men). If you turn around and say/ act as if you are not, it comes across as attention seeking as therefore a game to many people. Plus, many people who decide to be transgendered are doing it as a game, for example cross dressers and so on. Obviously how much transgenderism is a game depends exactly what you mean by being transgender, there are stacks of interpretions on what it is or isnt.

OK, I'm not talking transgendered as in transvestites or cross dressers. You can't be biologically a man or woman; you are biologically male, female or both/neither. 'Man' and 'woman' are social constructs. I am not a woman. I didn't 'decide' to be transgendered, I just am. And I don't choose to act like I'm not a woman. I'm just myself. How is that attention-seeking?
You've just shown your ignorance on this subject. Well done, Hadron. 8)

Oh and what is yourself? If you are being yourself then why do you need to attach another label to it? That is the attention seeking part, really.

If anything, I'm not. Everyone else identifies as straight, gay whatever. I don't identify as having any particular sexual orientation, OR gender. I'm saying I'm transgendered because it's a word which describes what I am, rather than going into it in great length just because you think it's attention seeking to use that word. Again, please find some better arguments than just 'attention seeking' every five minutes. It's getting boring. 8)

nor will he admit that the economic state of england and other countries was set into motion a long time ago (more than 1.5 DEFINITLEY at any rate) when being gay wasn't "fashionable" and therefore... there weren't that many gays to be hurting the economy..........

who knows... you cant argue opinion anymore than faith...

which is why they'll never change their mind

In my humble opinion, sexuality is completely how you feel like. I think you could be attracted to one sex, have sex with them, and still feel the other way. As I said, just my opinion.

Dont attention seek then we can move on from that. Otherwise we are just going to get stuck in a circle.

I've already explained that I'm not attention-seeking. You're the one who keeps trying to get anyone who will to call you out on Intensity; if anyone looks like they're attention seeking then it's you. A lot of people don't even know I'm transgendered, and no one in real life does.
And besides, I already showed you it's not a game. So you lost and now you're resorting to your usual 'attention seeking' BS. It really is pitiful.

Or I cant be bothered to play my hand. I am going to wait for others to fight there corner first, then I will step back in and see who wins. As for attention seeking, I get enough attention as it is these days, without me having to seek some more.

Maybe this kinda thing is why you didn't get into Oxford... :lol:
There's no 'can't be bothered' about anything with you. You keep on replying. If you put half the effort you spend accusing me of attention seeking, into coming up with some decent points, maybe we'd be getting somewhere.
You've lost again and again since you joined WP.

I applied for maths dearie, so i dont think they would give a toss about my spag, let along on an internet forum. You didnt get into Oxford either, so dont try that one with me. As for responding to your posts, i was bored. Possibly drunk as well. If I posted any more good points you would just go on, "oh your bigoted", "thats s**t" and so on. When you open your mind a little I may come back and post something. Until then, enjoy your orgy.

lol Difference is: I'm not the one sitting here whining about how the only reason I didn't get into Oxford was because my daddy isn't rich. :cry:
And I know you applied for Maths; they still look at overall intelligence though. And spelling is important. If you don't know the difference between 'there,' 'their' and 'they're,' then you're not going to get into Oxford. :P
I didn't claim that you were bigoted, so why would you think I'd do that if you came up with any more points. You don't have any good ones. That's all it is. If you did, then you'd have posted them; you spent enough time posting as it was. I saw nothing I couldn't easily respond to.
And I don't think I'm the one that needs to open my mind a little. You're the one saying people choose to be gay and transgendered, and how I keep playing loads of games with my life, when you actually know very little about me.
