re: Do you know or knew Transexuals?

Nope.

I did order at a Wendy's here in Oklahoma and there was a tranny at the drive thru window.

Me nor any of my family will ever go back there. I can decide to spend money elsewhere.

How old are these trans people? Regarding the upcoming crop of people who are using it as a fad (with tragic effects), this is unadulterated bullshite. I know a couple of old school trans people who were actually trans, many of these people are not, including my family member.

If you go by what you see online, all of them are out to get your kids.

That's because many of them are, and as we've now seen multiple times, if your religion won't let them, they'll just walk in and slaughter them. Stop with this gaslighting bullshite. One in four American high school students identify as LGBTQ. It's a social contagion that has very much been pushed onto the most impressionable animal that walks the planet: children.

As with any group, the ones you actually meet aren’t like that.

You're either being disingenuous, getting actual trans people confused with the crowd followers, or lying: The new trans people are cult members. We had another one slaughter more children yesterday.

so what happens if a transexual is hired at your place of work?

Avoid as much as possible while still being professional and courteous like I am with all human beings? What kind of question is this? I can disagree with someone’s lifestyle and choices while still maintaining decorum.

I’ll just never be associated with them and will never speak about anything other than work. Yknow like a professional would.

To give a sincere answer: Yes, I've known at least two fairly well. Neither of them are people who would immediately stand out in a crowd, and both were intelligent and fairly easy to get along with. Aside from the issue at hand, they're just normal people.

I think a lot of people's ideas of transsexuals are shaped by drag queens (who are typically gay but not transsexual), and the ones who go on the internet seeking to draw attention to themselves and shock/outrage people.

Like most people, I find the concept of an internal gender identity hard to understand. All I can do is take people at their word that some transsexual people endure true mental suffering because of gender dysphoria. I guess it's similar to the experiences of some gay people I've known who, at one point in their lives, were deeply unhappy with their sexual orientation and have done just about anything to become heterosexual. I'm not a psychologist, but gender transition seems to help many of these people and the percentage of those who regret the procedure is reported to be very low.

Some people think that all transsexuals are severely mentally ill in other ways, and are predatory or out to convince people who are not transsexual to change their gender. That hasn't been the case in my experience. I do think that transsexuals as a population are more likely to have other mental illnesses than the average person. I don't know if this is due to life experiences, a common biological root cause of both gender dysphoria and the additional mental illness, or just because any mentally ill person is far more likely to have a second mental disorder than a "regular" person is to have a first.

I generally try to treat others with a baseline level of respect, take people at their word (until they give me a good reason to do otherwise), and approach life with some compassion. Those principles have worked out fine in these situations.

I went to school with a tranny.

She was a lesbian at the time and has since transitioned. Very smart person but also batshit crazy.


I wasn’t particularly shocked when I found out because she always tended to be the butch, as she went to prom in a tux with her girlfriend.

I know a few trans males

i still don’t know what this even means? Does it mean ‘born with a wiener’ or ‘wishes it had a wiener’?

My cousin dated this pretty fine chick but she was crazy after they broke up she changed her name and appearance to a boy for about a year but last I checked she had switched back.

I once bought a portable Lincoln welding machine on FB. It was a great price. I drove across town to meet the “guy” early on a Saturday morning. I waited at the predetermined meet up location. The guy pulled up in a truck pulling a trailer with I and some other stuff he was selling that day.

He/she is in a dress and was basically a dude with a smear of make up on his face and hair in some kind of page boy style. I mentioned he had a lot of stuff to sell on the trailer. He then said he was transitioning and was selling his workshop stuff to help pay for the “rest” of the process. Yikes….

I paid him got the welder, and bailed. That scenario bothered me for a while.

There was a guy who worked at Jarman Shoes in Cortana by day and masqueraded as “Trixie” by night. I remember him walking around parties (these weren’t even weird parties) saying things such as, “Love your hair; hope you win!”
