Arch, let them be confused.
On the other topic of, we're just "male" there's no "transsexual" to it, I wonder about that. As a young man I felt just like you guys, Im male, Ive always been male, so I have crap Karma. But then I thought about it. What bio man has to spend the first formative years of his life in a female body? I doubt that doesnt alter ones perspective on life and the sexes. Also, has it ever occurred to any of you that we're a completely different sex? Nature isnt real fond of purity so I believe that Transsexual men and Women are just different, normal sexes beyond the "hardcore" extremes of bio male and female. Perhaps its a perfectly natural "screw up" because the extremes exist, but its a favorable mutation anyway because of over population?
A friend once asked me, how do you know youre male? I mean how can you be sure? Youve never been male, so how can you be sure? From a purely objective point of view, you cant. I was however, 100% certain I wasnt female. If not A, then B. I also feel alot of root-brain, or instinctual tendencies/desires that I feel would be better served if I were male, or atleast not female. Plus I have never thought of myself in a sexual situation as anything but male, even from my earliest fantasies, in full out REM sleep. To me, thats enough proof and ->-bleeped-<-ing crazy angst on a base animal level for me to conclude Im male. I will however concede that Im not, nor will I ever be a genetic male. For want of a better way to put it then, Im a transsexual male. I was born that way, and Ill die that way. It is a birth defect, and yeah in polite conversation you wouldnt be , oh hey Im Drayke, the trans ->-bleeped-<- any more than Im going to be like, Oh hi, Im Drayke the Gimp. I no longer walk with braces and crutches, I havent since I was 8, but that doesnt change the fact that I have CP.
Far be it for me to tell you guys how to think however. To each his own. For instance I blow a gasket everytime some tries to be politically correct and refer to me as Transgender. Ive never been Transgendered a day in my life. Ive taken enough anthropology to know what gender means, and to me thats a way of saying, "you people think youre the opposite of your biological sex, just because of the cultural ramifications involved". Well screw that, if it was manly to wear a tutu and butt-length hair, guess what? Yours truly would be sporting a tutu and making Godiva jealous. There are Transgendered people, hell there are probably Transgendered Transsexuals, Im just not one. So, if youre 100% certain youre a biological male with crapped up chromosomes, hey more power to ya.
