I have another question to do with the acceptance of non-binary people if that's alright.
Last night, someone made a comment about people taking offence to this, so I was wondering... Is it wrong to want a body that is in between male and female? That could be either?

It isn't wrong to want the body that you envision for yourself!

It's not the Catholicism, but the sheer audacity that counts.

In some ways, Guy Fawkes is the British version of Don Quixote.

I wouldn't say so.

For a start, Guy was not a planner, he was a paid mercenary brought in for his knowledge of fuses.

Nothing wrong at all!

To get my body when my mind-image is at, I need to try and reach that compromise.

There are plenty of examples in nature.

Did the fuse work?  Or was the plot found out?

I'll trust your rendition of British history, thought I took a course in "Tutor and Stuart England" back in college, from a visiting British professor.  I'll have to unpack those text books!

At least Guido has a popular mask in his "honor."

Some people think the plot was set up in full knowledge (maybe even encouragement) of the government.

Others think the letter from one of the plotters to his mp cousin, warning him not to be there might have been a slight tip off.

Not at all. It's what I'm going for, actually.

I don't think it's ever wrong to want something unless it makes you unhappy. And it is never wrong to go after what you want unless it harms you or other people.

Edge, you deserve to be happy. You deserve to have everything you want from life.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be between Male and female there are many people here myself included that live in the real world with a gendered  presentation that doesn't fit male or female.  I often get laughter & "WTF" type of comments.
Some people at here at susans from the more binary transation world pop their heads in here I'm not sure of the comment where someone was taking offense but I'm guessing it was just someone who didn't understand.
