I wasn't sure whether to prefix this with "mind" or "body" at first. I chose mind because I decided that this deals more with the disorder and mindset than the operation to "cure" it. If you don't know, gender identity disorder is when a person doesn't know if they would rather be a male or female. It happens to both sexes but seems to be more prevalent with males for whatever reason. Possibly this is because of the strong and recent rise in feminism. I'm not one to say really, I'm just speculating. Honestly the concept is foreign to me though I have met a few people with this so-called disorder i.e. shemales, trannys, lady boys, he-she, whatever.
Eventually the person will start dressing like the opposite sex. They will or won't wear makeup to hide the definitive qualities of their true gender. They call this "living in stealth". In extreme cases the person will opt for a sex change operation.
I don't really care if a person chooses to inverted his/her/it's genitals. It doesn't have anything to do with me. I do think though that they should definetely tell people who are intending to be in a relationship with them. I do not think they should tell one night stand partners just for the sake of lulz though they should have an escape plan. We've had a few transgender members before.
What are your thoughts and feelings about all this shit? Do you think it is an actual disorder or not? Could you care less?

When they were both about 8 years old I said to myself, "Yeah, that little guy is going to be a pole smoker when he grows up". One is now 34 and the other is 22. They are both openly homosexual and have overt feminine personalities. There may be some physiological aspects that influence a person sexuality but make no mistake about it there are strong social influences in the first 5 years of development that make as much if not more of a difference in this regard.
Anyone is welcome to argue this but you won't change my position as I have witnessed it first hand.
Homosexuality and gender identity disorder aren't the same issue. Maybe you misunderstood the thread title.
I won't even asked if you bothered to read the "smudies".
I see. Please, feel free to explain.
If that is not the case then again I ask the question; aside from your anecdotal experiences what evidence do you have to suggest that these studies are somehow flawed in their understanding of the relationship between homosexuality and GID?
