No matter how much you try to justify your actions to someone else, that does not change reality or their perceptions about you. You cannot force someone to agree with your choices. It is not natural to inject yourself with female hormones, get bitch tits, and lop off your penis. That's a mental problem.
So... being around this "freak" would make someone so uncomfortable that they would have to quit and find another job? How incredibly tolerant. Can't be around people that are different, oh nooooo... is it still okay to work around handicapped people too? Or are they too "freakish" as well?
Just to add to this bit, is it normal to put toxic liquid in your body or inhale toxic smoke into your lungs, both of which eventually kill you, sometimes quite quickly, sometimes slowly and very painfly (for the not so intelligent im talking about alcohol and cigarettes). No, the human body isnt designed to cope with these things as a regular occurance, so if you do them your being as much a freak as someone who changes their sex.
Personally i dont find anyone 'freakish', and im only using that word to make it easier for the simple and close-minded people to understand. Everyone is different, we all do things how we want to do them. I'd been chatting online for a couple years, then found a nice site with a chatroom to hang out in, after a while one of the ladies in there i chatted to quite a lot was getting very depressed a lot, after doing the decent thing and being a shoulder to cry on i discovered she was actually a he halfway through the process. Now im sure half the people reading this would probably have run a mile and changed their email, ISP and possibly even their computer to eradicate the freakishness, i however didnt, this person was a good friend and i had no intention of it changing anything, she is still a good friend, even met her and her mum once when they came down to London as the hospital she got her injections at was in Baker Street.
Nothing freaky about meeting her, she comes across more like a woman with slightly masculine features, i dont mean in the big hairy brute way, more the lean cadaverous style. Speaks mostly with a higher pitch voice thats fairly neutral. But most important, she is just someone i know, i regard her as a her because its what she is, she may have been a man physically in the past, but she has always felt like a woman, and now looks like one. Ok, i wouldnt go out with her on a date, for two reasons, one is i love her to bits as a friend and have done for around 8 years now, i knew her for 2 years before she told me and hadnt before that wanted to date her either. But also because she was a he, im happy to consider as a she as my friend, but its one step too far as a g/f, maybe that would mean i consider her freakish you think? nope, not freakish, its just not for me.
Go on then, pick this to pieces folks ;-)
