Punny.

Both of you.

Very punny.

I need to thank the both of you.

You gave me a good entry for the "What are you listening to?" music topic.

And now we make a perfect circle.

I hope you brought your compass... so as not to get lost in language on top of born in 'the wrong body'... ::)

I was born in MY body.

I could never have been born in the 'right' body. As I wouldn't have existed and I wouldn't be me. The you would be a different person and so cannot reflect on the question.

call me crazy, but I feel I was born in the right body.

Not too many people can say they honestly experience both male and female cultural, lifestyle, social, and psychological comparisons in their lifetime.

So, for me, I feel I was born in the right body. Having a blast too!

As to your question about how I would feel about the LGBT community if I was born another way. I would still embrace it and support it 100% just like no matter what body I was born into, I would not accept racism.

This is a fascinating question to ponder, but oh so difficult to answer.

My impression of gay people was formed at a very young age, and it was a positive impression, so likely that wouldn't change. Transgender and bisexuality...I did not learn about the first until my teenage years, and even then I had a naive and mistaken idea of what it meant. Same for bisexuality, only my understanding of that came years later. Probably up until I began considering transitioning was I ignorant about the GLBT world.

I wonder if my gender had been different in my younger years, would those events and influences that shaped my attitudes towards GLBT people had even occurred? Or would I have differently interpreted them and drawn completely different conclusions?

I think I would have been accepting of the GLBT community, but still unaware of the nuances of truly accepting people in those categories and perhaps a little stand off-ish about those concepts. A sort of "I don't mind what you do, but I'm not interested in it" attitude. Only in my college years or beyond would I likely refine my ideas about the community and approach it in a more educated and mature manner.

I am still a lesbian so I would stand tall and proud. Just like now ^_^ :3 If I wasn't then I don't know, there are so many things, I was born in a Christian household, my dad was very openminded though and accepting. He taught me judging others was wrong, my mom has the super religious side however since I am trans she has learned so much and is very very accepting ^_^ It's hard to think about this because I am not a awesome time-lord :P
