ps - as an addendum the UK where I live has at last after many years of fighting for our rights granted us the Gender Recogniton Act which accepts that women like me are through no fault of our own the victims of injustice.
The GRA seeks to redress some of these things and makes in unlawful for employers to disdcriminate against us, it also makes clear there IS transphobic crime against us and seeks to redress that.
Police in the UK have made great strides in many areas at setting a zero tolerance of 'hate' crimes that extends across racial, gender and gay hate crimes.
Its been a very long battle to get recognition but at least in the UK we are now getting a minimum level of protection.
What I see in the US scares me witless at times - there was a time women like me would look to the US as a haven - these days I see more US girls trying to get in to the UK where we appear to have taken the lead on human rights for the gay, lesbian and trans community.
I havent posted reserach links cos you are webmaster after all so you can do your own reserach iof you want. I think anyone examining with a fair mind the evidence would conclude that chouice doesnt play any part in it.
For transsexuals there are conclsuive studies which show that the brain structure is different from a male brain and closer to a female brain in construction ( female brains are smaller in size but have a higher density of cells in certain areas ). This has been pretty well conclsuively proved as has the case for homosexuality and transgender behaviour in other animals.
None the less there are people who seek to use science or the bible for their bigotted views.
Theres nothing sinful about being gay or transgendered - if God hadnt wanted you that way he wouldnt have made it so - you either believe he is omnipotent and all knowing ( in which case he made me as I am for his own reasons and you should accept me as part of his creation - to do less implies you know better than God ) OR he fucked up big time ( in which case why are you following a God who isnst really Godlike in his powers and why are you deferring your judgement to someone who isnst flawless themselves - you may as well worship Archie Bunker ).
Throughout history people have used other institutions to bolsetr their own bigotted attitudes - when a Christian says 'God hates Gays' what they really mean is 'I hate Gays but I dont want to seem like a bigotted moron so I am hiding behind something else that absolves me from any charge of being a fucking idiot'
The same when people hide behind pseudo-science or other types of intellectual dishonesty.
Oh and by the way never assume that even the Gay, lesbian and Trans community agree on stuff - theres plenty of rabid lesbians who would gladly see trans people gassed - as there are trans people who would gladly have the gays and lesbians gassed - so we are not by any means a united group. Sometimes we are portrayed as a solid block - an evil empire - whose aim is to bring down western civilisation. If you were ever in a gay activist group you'd see how little agreement there is even among ourselves.
For myself I prefer a live and let live approach - I just think iof everyone got on with their own business and didnt feel the need to make judgements about other people we might ALL be lots happier. That includes you heteros as well - laughs.
