| Have you ever fantasized about having sex with a transexual.
Posted: 4/8/2006 8:58:19 AM | Heterosexual- A person who is attracted only to members of the oppisite sex.
Bisexual- A person attracted to both sexes, male and female.
Homosexual- A person who is attracted to members of the same sex.
Transexual- A person of undetermined gender who has self-identified as one or the other
to reduce confusion, but still exhibits physical attributes of both genders such
as a "female" will have natural breast developement, female facial features,
fine skeletal structure, small frame, but still have a penis where as a "male"
may be brawny and big in frame, with male facial features, even facial hair
growth every day, no breast developement, but has a vagina even still.
Homophobic- Having a reluctance to admit one's own latent homosexual tendicies.
If a man/woman protests the homosexual lifestyle to a great degree, they may be thought to be hiding their own homosexual thoughts and desires.
If a man/woman is asked a question dealing with same sex relations and gives a simple yes/no answer, than we should beleive that response to be sincere and must move on.
As for transexuals, if a transexual lives their lives as and identifies themselves as male, than a man could only be thought gay or bi if he's attracted to the same sex or male identified transexuals. A man is not gay, however for agreeing to participate in sexual activity with a female identifying transexual. He is only homophobic if he angrily protests the lifestyle and claims it to be wrong, thinking that "she" is a guy, not simply because he says he would not partake in said lifestyle. The same would go for a woman and a female identified transexual. Agreeing to have sex with the "female" transexual" would mean that a woman was either bi or lesbian. If the woman has sex with a male identifying transexual, that would be heterosexual action. If the woman angrily protests the act, stating that it's wrong she could be listed as homophobic, but if she simply states it's not for her without making too much fuss, than she's just stating the fact that she's not into it. For some people's information, also, some transexuals are natural, having had no surgery at all.
We should never judge too quickly and jump to conclusions the may be wrong. | |

Posted: 4/8/2006 9:31:18 AM | When you fall in love with a person based on their virtue whether it be man - woman - transexual - bisexual - transgender - whatever you fall in love with a person. If you fantasize about an encounter with someone of a differenct sexual oriention, does it mean that it is a true feeling of what you want in your life? I think not! A fantasy is just that - a fantasy.
Sexual prefences often don't sway our fantasies - you may find yourself fantasizing about things you would never, ever consider in any life time, but your brain takes over.
I can bet that some of you have had a quick thought of what it would be like just reading this thread. Haven't you?!?!  | |

What is Harry Benjamin's Syndrome?
Harry Benjamin's Syndrome (HBS) is a congenital intersex condition that develops before birth, involving the differentiation between male and female. It is believed that every 1 out of 500 is born with this condition. Therefore a girl with Harry Benjamin's Syndrome would have a female brain's sex but her genitals would appear male. The boys born under this condition have female genitalia even thought their brains are male. So far it’s impossible to diagnose this condition at the moment of birth causing the babies to be raised in the wrong gender role.
We now know that the brain is the only part of the body that can define one’s sex, therefore one's true sex is determined by the structure of the brain, and not by the genitalia. Gender identity is hard-wired in the brain and in deeper CNS structures. The main difference between Harry Benjamin's Syndrome and other intersex conditions is that there is no apparent evidence at the moment of birth making it impossible for doctors to diagnose it.
In comparison with other intersex conditions Harry Benjamin's Syndrome is twice more frequent than Klinefelter Syndrome and five times more frequent than Turner's Syndrome. It is also known to be 25 times more frequent than Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome.
Most people with Harry Benjamin's Syndrome have been diagnosed around 20 to 45 years of age. This hasn’t stopped people from having their genitalia reassigned and living a normal life afterwards. On the other hand, there are also people that have preferred not to have any surgeries and they are living happily as well But it is recommended to have this condition treated as early as possible.
The level of distress experienced by people with Harry Benjamin's Syndrome does vary from person to person. Society's gender-related expectations are far from perfectly suited to all individuals, and not everyone would find being treated as the opposite gender to be all that terrible. People's degree of concern for their own appearance and anatomy is also very variable -some couldn't care less what they had between their legs or how others percieved their gender. But it is perfectly normal, and probably much more common, for people to place a great deal of importance in both their own and other people's physical and social gender. It may be something they take for granted and hardly think about, but that is only an indication of how deeply rooted it is. People with Harry Benjamin's Syndrome almost always experience growing dissatisfaction and unhappiness with both their bodies and their social gender role until they can correct them, even to the point of suicide if they feel they have no other solution to their problem.
The pain of Harry Benjamin's Syndrome is exacerbated by society's attitude towards it. Employers, friends and especially family are often disbelieving and hostile towards people who reveal they've discovered they have Harry Benjamin Syndrome. Also, society in general does not treat people whose appearance is gender ambiguous at all well, targeting them for verbal abuse, discrimination, and sometimes violence. This is hard enough to deal with without the loss of family support and possibly employment that often accompanies it. Though the cause of Harry Benjamin's Syndrome is uncertain, and indeed there may be more than one cause, the most likely explanation is some kind of hormonal irregularity during pregnancy. But whatever the cause, it is a genuine, traumatic condition that deserves understanding and compassion.
How is Harry Benjamin's Syndrome medically treated?
Note: This site only contains a brief explanation of the different aspects related to the treatment avaliable for people living with Harry Benjamin's Syndrome. If you would like to learn more about it the following link is a great place to start: How is MtF transsexualism medically treated?
The early treatment of Harry Benjamin's Syndrome can eliminate virtually all the symptoms of the condition.
In order to properly reassign the person’s body to its proper gender the treatment will include Hormonal Replacement Therapy (HRT) and Genital Reconstructive Surgery (GRS).
To this day this Syndrome is mostly known as transsexualism, this creates a problem in properly diagnosing and treating people living with this condition. The word transsexualism is usually linked to men wanting to be women or seen as a mental disorder. We still can find doctors referring to this Syndrome as Transsexualism. It may seem like the medical community is ignoring the most recent research about the brain and its relationship with gender. This is caused for the still-remaining use of words like transsexualism and others.
The medical community of today is perfectly prepared to successfully treat Harry Benjamin's Syndrome, but is still lacking of quality diagnosis caused by the lack of information updates about this condition leaving doctors stuck with the myths of the past.
A personal suggestion concerning doctors is that you should not believe everything they say, because they may not have up to date information. I recommend listening to the doctors, (since they know how the human body works) but don’t assume they can’t make mistakes; after all they are only human.
It is advisable to visit an endocrinologist and give him or her up to date information about Harry Benjamin's Syndrome, this way you will be opening the door to receive more objective treatment.
A psychological follow up is very useful for a proper diagnosis of this condition and its physical treatment afterwards can correct it completely.
In most cases, it’s impossible to give a diagnosis before late infancy or pre-adolescence, although countries like the Netherlands are very advanced in diagnosing and treating this syndrome. Thanks to the hard work of Cohen-Kettenis, people living in the Netherlands are able to start the treatment before puberty.
In Spain, although there are specialists in many communities, only the Andalucia's Hospital can offer complete treatment of this condition. It’s always a good idea to consult the local GLBTIQ group.
It’s important to remind that Harry Benjamin's Syndrome is a physiological condition and not psychiatric, even though the help of a psychologist can be very useful to the patient, especially for the young ones. The treatment of this condition includes HRT and GRS. You should always start by visiting an endocrinologist and a surgeon first. | |

| Have you ever fantasized about having sex with a transexual.
Posted: 4/8/2006 7:26:42 PM | I met someone online and emailed her a lot for several months. When I wanted to talk on the phone, she always had a reason to not talk. When we finally did talk on the phone it was obvious that she had not been born a woman. We still email occasionally. She really is a good person, intelligent, interesting and funny, but I told her that I wasn't going to travel hundreds of miles to meet her. The biggest problem, I hate to admit it, was that she would be unacceptable in the society where I live. And I also had issues with accepting that she wasn't born a woman.
Would I have talked to her if I knew before hand? No. Probably not, but by talking to her like I did I discovered that there are people that are born into a different gender than their birth gender. I accept her like she is, but I just can't handle the societal implications of having a public relationship.
A relationship is much more complicated than sexual encounters.
Oh, and BTW, I am very straight and not interested in men or really kinky sex. | |

Posted: 6/9/2006 9:36:43 PM | I'm just going to say it right now, I would absolutely love to have sex with a transexual, as long as they're under a certain age/close to my age.
A sixty year old guy with implants and lipstick doesn't work for me.  | |
