This interesting piece caught my eye
this morning. If you listen to homophobes there's only one sexual
orientation, and two genders. I've long thought the numbers were more...
complicated than that.
It makes me wonder how long throughout human history, people have been born to one gender but wanted another. Still, the point I found the simplest and most persuasive in the article was the following;
"We often ask parents, Would you rather have a dead son than a live daughter? … These kids have a suicide rate that is astronomical compared to any other group," she said.
To the various gender zealots, phobes and haters who can't deal with transgendered people: If you want to stand for misery, depression and suicide, by all means say so. At least then I will know that you are simply a mouth-breathing buckethead, whose opinion is worth slightly less than the last red wine hangover crap I took. But don't dress your hate up in semantics.
As a human being, you have one, single responsibility, which is to love your fellow human. It's called co-operation. It's what keeps our species alive, just ask any evolutionary biologist.
I believe Depeche Mode summed it up best when they said;
"People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?
