Myths in our community that need to die a quick death

RE: Myths.
It seems clear that Agreement in out community is a myth.
We don't agree on much of anything.
But that is good!
It means Diversity! and that Rocks!

Rachael,

  You can be quite strange sometimes.  Merry Christmas!!

[cindybc]

Thanks Rachael, the flick rocked. Goes to show you that we do have some things like silliness and mischieviousness in common. Merry Christmas hon.

The big lesson is to learn not to take yourself to seriously, Self-deprecating.

We diss each other so much...

We're diss-functional.

[Rachael]

Just sometimes?

One thing that needs a quick death is people's morbid fascination with the "transsexual" label.  It just breaks my heart > when people seek refuge behind a label that only defines a medical condition.  It's like saying "I'm flu" or "I'm mumps" what the hell is that?

[cindybc]

Yep I have met dysfunctional, mad, insane, crazy, nuts, angry, scared, lost, confused, transsexuals, transgendered, androgyne,  bisexual, inter sexual (I like androgynes) because they know how to laugh. and a whole lot of other types of people, those that claimed to be Geruse, indigo, empaths,  light workers, pagans, and so on, and on. On this message board and at last count, 62 Yahoo Group, two of which I own, a couple of metaphysical meetup groups here in Vancouver.. At times you would swear everyone is having their menstruation all on the same day. Yet I never had a soul say anything to me, not as much as a "!BOOOOOO!" kiss my behind. Well I do thank all my lucky stars and angels in heaven I must be doing something right     Well, sometimes I run into a jealous person. I really love being around people, because I love and care for people I  come in contact with.

Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays

whats better? hiding behind a medical problem you have? or being thought of by random people as a crossdresser, ->-bleeped-<-, or pervert? because they will...
the more people understand TS is medical, the less people with it will need to use it  as a liferaft.

You say pervert like its a bad thing.  Being known as a pervert spares you a lot of small talk.

[Rachael]

um? pervert IS a bad thing....
R

[RebeccaFog]

Being a true pervert is a bad thing, but being accused of being a pervert for no good reason is just a miserable annoyance.

Gender variant people are not perverts.

[cindybc]

Pervert, me, nope, not the last time I checked. I doupt you and I could be any more perverted then castrated duck Rebis hon. Just odd is all, especially if you try plucking feathers off a ruber duck.

Hey, people think that a binary gender is limiting, but a single uber/omni sexual code is even more oppressive.

I don't understand what this means?

[Rachael]

i belive thats a heterosexuality bash...
R

[tekla]

Its a bash on anyone who thinks that there is only one way to love, one right kind of person to love, a set number of people you can love, positions that are more or less sinful, actions that are more or less evil, tastes, proclivities, and desires that are more or less normal or strange.  I just want to reclaim pervert from people who would use to to defame and inflame and turn it into a very likable adjective.  It should be something that is thought of as being good, not bad.  Happy indeed are the perverts who find their complementary partner(s).  Bet on that.  Might be the happiest people on earth really. 

[NicholeW.]

I read no bashing, unless the statement that there are way more than one way to love and accept. If that is a bash at anyone else, then please answer what is being bashed. That sounded inclusive, very inclusive.

Thoughtful Tekla. I have to admit you have just raised my levels of respect for 'perverts.' And made me consider myself. Thank you.

The former.  Yet, why not at least "try" to discard the term transsexual and replace it by woman or man instead?
