Morals have NOTHING to do with it.
The moral decay of this once great nation continues.
Wow, Nick. I'm really surprised to read that from you- it's not like this person is some drugged-out drag queen walking a seedy strip on the bad side of town.
It's easy to make fun of trangendered people- hell, I've done it. It's a very easy shot. Lots of folks (wrongly) equate them to gays and lesbians, but the facts are somewhat different, although not entirely unrelated.
Freak of nature, although coarse and somewhat insensitive, is more accurate. And the thing you should remember:
they did not choose to be in the situation in which they find themselves. From memory (which, these days is more often faulty than not) the problem occurs in the womb- basically a short-circuit of chromosomes as the fetus is in very early stages of development. Result is literally a man/woman trapped in the body of opposite gender.
I personally think these folks need compassion, and ones such as this woman deserve respect for having the strength and courage to go through the treatment and surgery needed to make herself whole, or at least as whole as modern medicine's current capabilities can manage. Keep in mind, also, the daily struggle a person must have to deal with an issue of this magnatude. Talk about having a bad day. Every day.
Not trying to slam on ya brother, I know that you are a very bright guy, but I was more than a little surprised by the lack of knowledge shown by your post.
I guess we all have our moments.
