Great example of why someone who thinks *easier sex* as a good reason should never have SRS. Thanks for posting.
Kinda confused as to why you feel this video backs up the point of view that you "see nothing wrong with changing sex only to get guys". The subject in the video explains how doing it for that reason has ruined his life. Sorta the post child for NOT following this advice.
Indeed that is so, that it was a very bad example of his behalf. On the other hand, one must also remember that every transitioner is different and hence also functions differently.
For instance, people on this very board constantly choose ways to live out their identities or sexualities to find happiness, that to the next transitioner would be the completely wrong way, and vice versa.
What I try to say is, that what makes some people happy, makes another unhappy, and what would make yet another person unhappy, would turn out to be the key to happiness for another.
For instance, the famous Economist Deidre McCloskey transitioined for "All the wrong reasons" according to the Standards of Cares and the guide Rules for changing Sex(And for this very reason, she purposely lied about everything during the sessions to be approved), but to
her, it was all the
right reasons that enabled her to find happiness.
QuoteI guess I could see giving a thumbs up to his original post, but just seemed odd to thumbs up a hostile rant..
I understand you reaction, and I also admit that it, in a way, was a quite pointless thing on my behalf to do, as it was after all not something I actually agreed with that /S/he had said.
I just don't like seeing people having "smithes as the first and only reputations they have as newbees, if they have not meant any actual harm, although being a bit unthoughful.
If S/he, however, would had said something purposely insulting to someone, I would instead have smithed, for I do not accept nastiness.
Ah well.
