Cool... is this about to be a fight? I wanna watch

Dream on, Mandy. Rebis and I are secretly lovers. ... um ... well, we were.   

OK... if you're lovers... I'll watch that too .... did I just type that??? Humm... sry that was
my lustful boy side talking LOL.

Sometimes, a person's love is so great, that it demands the attention of a crowd.

The #1 question I got asked when I came out to people was, "so you're gay then, right?"

In your case, the correct answer is, "No, I'm a straight female."

I think I'll step out of the topic Rebis... lol... I have a few comments for that... but I should
just walk away.... just walk away Amanda

There are so many, but the two biggest misconceptions that I've had to deal with both involve my sexuality.  The first one is that you obviously have to be gay.  It seems that people have a very difficult time distinguishing between homosexuality & transexuality.  The second is that you want to be a woman so that you can be with men.  When I tell them that I'm still attracted to women as a woman, they look at me as if I have a third eye.   Go Figure!!!

Oh gods yeah. This is turning out to be rather a new, novel and slightly destructive twist as well. Luckily I haven't been beaten up. Yet.

So darling, wear 'em anyway!

Yeah, I really hate the one about "So you're just so gay you go ahead and turned into a woman."
That you can never be who you are because you weren't born with the body for it.
Like in this one class they were teaching about how we have the medical technology to allow for complete transition.  This one guy made the comment, "Well I hope we can tell the real ones from the fake ones, because that's just gross."
I wanted to smack him...

Oh, and about those peasant skirts, you go ahead and wear them, but I'm more of a jeans and T-shirt fan myself.

That all transsexuals are weird or may look weird...

What are the biggest misconceptions that the public has about US?

Number One -- That cissexual people do NOT have gender identities simply because their bodies and their gender identities conform.

Nichole

what?  I didn't hear that.

Actually, Z, I really don't think that's very important at all. Why? Did I seem vested in that answer?

I just thought you might have a strong opinion, what with the 50 pt font 

Anyway, I think it's very true that cisgender people can have gender issues too, particularly women.

yeah, but I think Nichole is saying that most cisgendered people have no concrete knowledge or experience of their gender identity.  They can't understand gender issues because to them, it's a natural non-issue.
