I am indeed aware of the theories espoused by Blanchard, Bailey,Quote:

In discussing and attempting to understand gender dysphoria we must
have some frame of reference. And while Blanchard and Bailey may not
have always employed the best techniques in validating and quantifying
their research, and then allowed themselves to become embroiled in
gender politics, I do applaud and encourage anyone who is willing to
attempt to bring some clarity to such a challenging subject.

To me, that's casting shade.Quote:
Today, I observe and speak with quite a few younger transwomen, who by choice or necessity seem to live only for today.
They appear to live as if their mantra was 'Live fast, die young and leave a
good looking corpse'
And I think you should talk about your research, your charitable work, etc. Why be on a pre-op porn forum and not reveal more about that stuff?
To me, there's something odd about both you and Phobun being here. Both of you in your own ways are dissidents. Neither of you are of the thinking that pre-ops are at an ok place. You're both pushing the idea that transsexuality is a dysphoria of the individual, and not the society. It reeks of heterosexism imho.
For myself, I most definetely subscibe to a binary definition of gender - male, female.Quote:

So you feel that there are true and untrue transsexuals?Quote:

Even if you would absolve me of such things, does his philosophy have merit?
So the third gender is not an option. Does that make you a pseudo woman? Because you aren't a biological one. Are you one of God's imperfect creatures?Quote:

Gender is definitely not binary....
Just ask the South African Olympic committee.
Are cocks beautiful? That depends on the person.
You mean on the cock, right? Do girls look less feminine with cocks, or just less capable of procreation. Do genitals define our gender?Quote:

This can even be evidenced by this thread, we are not seeing many
responses to the question "What happens to tgirls when they get old er)?".
As to your contenton that I see being pre op as a problem, again I will
maintain that you are incorrect. There are many pre op, (though perhaps
non op would be more accurate) women who are very happy with their
penis, they do not suffer any angst from it. Indeed it could be said that
they do not suffer from gender dysphoria.
Much like many of the other members of this and other forums, I write onQuote:

many things, some GID related, some not, but I am certain that there has
been no paucity of information from me on the topic.
Admittedly, my posts my not have dick pics, or be of a pruient nature, and
can at times be pedantic and verbose, but they are there for anyone that
wants to peruse them.
