I know one. Just from Facebook.

In real day to day life...no. And I am okay with that.

NO

Not even close. In the United States it is 0.17% are considered “intersex”. That’s 17 people for every 10,000 people


All these other people claiming to be a non-binary gender have a mental illness

Same. Although a few people I know now work with him, I would have no idea if it hadn't been for FB.

Stupid news and social media.

Kind of reminds me of how this site and so many people I know on facebook latched onto this whole issue of kids eating tide pods. Nobody I knew, nobody my kids knew, and nobody that friends of the kids knew anyone who ever did that. You would have sworn by reading it so much that it was happening at a rate of 75% of the kids out there.

Professionally I've met two.

- The 1st guy was a former F-14 pilot who retired and was working for a defense contractor. He said when he was 5 his mom asked him to try on a dress she was making for a girl who was about his size and ever since then he's known he was a girl. Since the defense contractor was based in California they had to pay for his surgery under California law.

- The 2nd is a guy who started work as a guy but transitioned to a girl and changed his name in the company e-mail (say Bob to Katy). She does a good job so out of courtesy I refer to her as a her but I don't interact with her often. Rumor is no corrective surgery has happened and Katy's still married to the wife Katy married when she was Bob and they have kids; I can't imagine how weird that is/was. What does bother me is she's a competitive distance runner and competes as a woman and crushes the competition. That doesn't seem fair to me but it's not a hill I'll choose to die on.

Played beer league hockey with a little fireplug of a guy. Damn good center, and feisty as hell. Like a Theo Fleury type. He stops playing one year, and then no one hears from him for a while. According to FaceSpace, he's now a she. Ugly as frick, and not passable at all, but hey, whatevs. His wife is totally cool with it.

i don't know if the media has convinced you two otherwise. but these aren't examples of transgenders. These men were born with XY chromosomes and were intended by both mother nature and God to be Males. They have a mental disorder and are nothing more than cross-dressers. Surgery or not, they still can't change their biology.

that's the same as me putting on a leash, getting on my hands and knees, growling and barking. it doesn't make me a dog. it makes me fricked up in the head.

I went to school with a gay that I heard went tranny. The only one I have seen was at the airport in Chicago that had long hair sporting a neck beard wearing a pink tutu and a tank top... Other than that I haven't really seen or met a trans. I am convinced these people are attention whores that only do this for the attention they get.

At work they started a group for LGbTGif or whatever and that brought out some people who I was always curious about. Turns out there is a guy who became a girl (half arse job of it if you ask me) and now we have sensitivity training on what pronouns to use. Millennial celebrate this shite and make it worse. I just wanna do my job. Not sure where sexual orientation came along and entered the workplace.

When I was at LSU I worked for a catering company that had the contract for Lod Cook. The dishwasher was trans, nice guy very quite but if you spoke to him she would talk to you.

Eating at Fisher's in OB

A man that worked there was passing by and complimented my family.. i said something like thanks, etc

He then proceeds to tell me that his son is a tranny now. Has spent close to 1 million dollars transitioning.
