Didn't like the hemlock analogy. OK.
In the course of figuring out the whole relativity thing, Einstein and a few others were so appalled at the ideas of quantum uncertainty and the expanding universe that they scrambled to add all sorts of constants and other extraneous crap to drag this new model of the Universe back onto "safe ground." Eventually, however, enough proof got set on the table that the community said, all this extra stuff, right here - unnecessary. The universe is expanding and at the quantum level, you can't know position and velocity. It may upset your notions of the way things "ought to be" but that's what is. Dealwiddit.
So, here you've got this situation where you've got a guy who decides, (or realizes he's always known) that he wants to be a chick and do chick shit, including have tits, hairless chest, sleep with guys, and read Nights in Rodanthe. And then there's a guy who realizes, holy shit, that person in the dress is fucking "hawt" and then there's Mr. Happy hanging out. Uh-oh.
Both have this epiphany - Aw crap! What I want to do is fucking GAY! I can't be GAY 'cause then I'll be ridiculed by my friends and family, and have to act like Jack MacFarland, and spend the rest of eternity wailing and gnashing my teeth in the Lake of Fire! Aw, man! That blows!
So, then, like Einstein, you get this whole community willing to hang all sorts of Sexological Constants, convoluted logic, and truly facially stupid notions, to demonstrate what they do or want is absolutely, under no circumstances, GAY. Cause that, of course, would be unspeakably horrible.
My suggestion is, the first time someone uttered the words, "her cock," with a straight face, that should have been the tip off that they were on some really, really thin ice. And maybe it was time to go back an re-check some of the initial assumptions. Abandon this illusion that they'd somehow transcended ancient, outdated, primitive notions of sex and sexuality and join the rest of the world in that place called - "Reality." This, it appears to me, is classic, "letting the little head think for the big one."
It's a gay thought or act. Dealwiddit and move on.
Just one opinion. I doubt I'll bring you around. "A man convinced against his will, and all that...."
