Don't get me wrong okay, I'm not a transgender, I'm straight okay.

You can always hear transexuals, as we all know transexuals are people who undergoes operations to change their sexualities. It may seem similar to transgender, but it has a close but different meanings.

TRANSGENDER are people who, at a young age feels that they were born on the wrong type of body. Example:
- 4 year old boy who is insisting that he is not a boy but a girl born in the wrong kind of body.
- 7 year old girl insisting that she is not actually a girl but a boy trapped in a girls body. and her parents wouldn't let her to be what she wants to instead, she wrote a letter to her parents threatening her own life saying, mom and dad, i don't wanna be like this, i know that you can't let me be a real boy so maybe it will be a lot easier if i'll be dead and be in heaven. so her parents let her be what she wanted to be, a boy.

**actually we can't blame them for being that. because--

researchers say that the "transgenderness" happened when the baby is still in the mother womb. it happened during the first quarter of the development of the baby. It's brain developed being a girl or a boy but it's body developed opposite of that of the brain. so what happens is that when the child has gained conciousness about itself, they start to think that they were born on the wrong kind of body.

**so we reaalllly can't blame them because it's not there fault to be transgender and by being trangender, they eventually begin to undergo operations to make them what they think they were. cause it will be easier to change the body than the brain. so as i said, they become transexual.

(i learned all that in OPRAH!)

I hadn't even heard of this until I just read this thread. I agree with Angel's post above, I don't know why people couldn't just get on with life and accept that they're the correct gender that they were supposed to be (the gender which nature chose).

I have seen a few transexuals around and sometimes I wonder why they want to put their own children through it if they have children. I think it would sort of be embarrasing to you and your family and friends. How hard would it be to go from calling your friend Joe to Jessica or Mr. to Mrs. You would think they would have a hard time. I never knew though that transgender developed before people were even born. I wonder though if some people just suddenly decide later in life though because that's what they want to do. I am sure some cases are like that.

This "condition" has nothing to do with being straight or not. It is the same as having something go wrong in the embryo developement to cause blindness, cerebral palsy, hemophilia, spina bifida, etc. It would be wonderful if these things never occured, but reality shows us that they do. If this split of brain and body developement happens in utero, how can one just "get on with life". One has to deal with the disablities that they have been dealt. They seek relief from their disablities with modern medicine. If, in fact, this condition is a developement in the embryo, nature has created a female brain in a male body or a male brain in a female body. It is as correctable as any other disability that modern medicine can deal with.

Hm, if we write with experience - meaning we have someone close to us who are actually behaving like this then we will be able to understand which way we must look at these kinds of people. For me I have not come across anyone like this so it is hard to think whether to blame them or to accept them as they are. But what is important though is that we must encourage people to think positively in every circumstances and situations.

I see some ignorance here. Transgenders are not about being straight, homosexual or other sexual orientation. They are girls or boys (depending on what they know they are) trapped in the wrong body. A boy with a girl body will also like girls, because HE IS a boy. I suppose they can also be homosexual, so he will feel like a boy and like other boys although his body is a girl one.

And for people who wanted everybody to be "normal" or whatever, you need to be more tollerant. Transgenders donīt have any fault... nature made them this way. Blame them? for what? do you really care so much? do they make you harm?

And homosexuals are a different thing but they were also born like that. You canīt make a straight boy love another boy, right? So, you canīt make a gay boy love a girl. Itīs not so difficult to understand, I think.

Transgenders, homosexuals, and the lot are, at best, abnormalities. Many of you say "nature made them this way" or "they can't help how they are born". While this is true, that does not mean they should not be "fixed".

Just like a child who is born with any other abnormality, you would like to correct it. If a child was born blind, would you not try to fix it? Would it not be better off?

Abnormalities need to be corrected. If they are not, it only leads to suffering.

following up to the reply above mine, if something of this sort isnt taken care of, it could lead to such disorders such as further gender confusion, depression and even cause some people to become sever socio-paths. It should be known that there is no true perfect, and that sometimes there are mistakes. There is the possibility of nature to put a female mentality into a male body or vice versa. How ever this should not be confused with your general gender confusion that alot of kids go through as they are aging, and are looking for ways to define themselves.

There is a possibility that a female mentality is "put" into a male body? Give me a break. That is a MENTAL DISORDER. If you have a male body but think you are a girl stuck in a male body, you have an identity problem. This mental disorder must be corrected.

Just because it "happens" doesn't mean it should be accepted. Just like i said before, if a kid was born with only 1 leg, it is obvious that it would be better if the kid had 2 legs. What happens? People give the kid a prosthetic leg.

Now, you may say that a gender change operation will "fix" the problem but I disagree. The problem is not with the body but it is with the BRAIN. Just because it is EASIER to fix the body doesn't mean it is the right thing to do.
