This is faulty logic, as some of us do pay taxes, and we all pay sales tax, gas tax, alchohol and tobacco taxes etc.... in fact poor people statistically speaking pay a higher portion of their income in taxes than more well off families do, because of the regressive US tax structure.Quote:

In doing so, they believe they can make themselves as 'normal' as the mainstream and can conveniently point fingers at those men who are 'abnormal'.
Let me be perfectly honest: I love genetic women and I love t-girls. When I'm with a GG, I love 'regular' sex...sorry, I know that sounds silly...and when I'm with a t-girl, I love sex with her...and that includes bottoming. I think receiving anal sex is a wonderful feeling, even more so when delivered by a beautiful t-girl or a GG with a strap-on. Now, some of the so-called straight guys here insist that all this makes me gay, while some have pointed out that I'm not gay, I simply enjoy the mechanical act of anal sex. Personally, I don't see myself as gay because I do not find men attractive. The male form simply does not excite me. Despite this, many men would label me completely gay, even men who regularly have sex with pre-op t-girls, all for the reason so that can continue to call themselves straight and normal and have another group to point at and call abnormal. As a previous poster pointed out, it's about controlling the power of a society's and culture's perspective.
You want to name names Allanah?... just how do you know which republicans on this board identify with the republicans who support the anti gay, anti transgender, and social conservatism?Quote:

And my, my, the name calling. Shameful, just shameful.
Where are the big hearts of you dems when it comes to accepting people who dont agree with YOU?

I believe Allanah made very valid points in her conversation and her posts. One thing I've noticed about many of these boards is that whenever a transsexual steps outside of her box and shows she has any form of intelligence, many people try to put them away like pretty dolls that shouldn't speak what's on their minds and should just stand there for the world to gawk at.
We are intelligent, educated, individuals who are afforded many of the same rights as other americans, but not all. We have to fight to get what we want from a country that shouldn't make us have to do that.
"We The People" unfortunately doesn't stand for everyone in our country so if the LGBT Community sometimes seems like its angry, it's because we are. Imagine, some people can get married in this country 5 or 6 times and we can't even do it once. I don't see the logic in that.
So I have stepped outside of my box and I welcome your criticism. I don't always agree with other people's opinions, but I listen before I leap.

Meghan we have never met but I always admire your posts, talents, and the way you write. You always exude intelligence and I am always greatful when a fellow trans person steps outside the 'beauty' box to discuss revelant issues.Quote:

"Go Back to sucking dick-because it's what you do best"- is one I recall fondly.
It is very important that we question the establishment that for the most part ignores us, and pushes policies that harm us. It's very important that we as trans women take a political stand because just being who we are is a challenge to the establishment.
It's is indeed sad when so many people just see you uss a sex object and just want us to remain that way-silent and convinient.
I am ladies people like you don't. :)
Allanah I find your posts to be thought provoking and edgy and that's what we need right now. We need to let everyone know that we are not just sex objects, that we are people who have ideas and want to rise above the ties that bind us.
They don't make enough scissors for all of the red tape we need to cut through to get where we need to be.
Anytime you want to write a column for the Stopping The Hate website let me know, I'd love to have you on board. Like all of our columnists I know you would be a great asset to the website.
I am in the market of free thinkers who aren't afraid to go against the standards of who and what we should be as people.

Discussing politics is probably the easiest way to start an argument. I can't think of another topic that people can't agree on.
I think that America has problems like all other countries. The saving grace is that people of opposite opinions can express themselves freely. And hopefully we will continue to gain freedoms.
Unfortunately, it seems in the last 8 years Americans have lost freedoms.
I am all for a change of pace. A little revolution is healthy now and again.
