Poll question: If you were gender dysphoric or "transgender"
Edited on Sun Feb-18-07 01:22 AM by MoseyWalker
what would you do upon learning that?

edit, because the poll function is not working:

"So, the matter of your physical sex is decided then?" asked Ixxy.
"Of course!" replied Palakar "It is obvious!"
"Ah," Continued Ixxy with a winning air,
"But to what GENDER do you belong?"

2. My poll is not working
I tried to place it here twice.

Someone or something doesn't want me to post this poll.

3. perhaps because that sort of question doesn't work will with the 'pick one' format of DU polls...
maybe the machine has gotten smart on us...

... but why is it singing "daisy"?

5. I don't think that's a question the rest of us are capable of answering.
I don't think somebody not in that situation could even guess how they'd cope.

11. Sorry
I sometimes am rather abrupt at how I approach things. Sledgehammer may have been a little strong. I need to become more acquainted with tact and diplomacy.

13. Did you see the show on Discovery Health tonight?
There was a one-hour show on the Discovery Health Channel profiling a couple of transgendered people. It was very interesting.

18. I'm Scottish, so my national costume is drag ...
wearing a dress isn't that big a deal.

Seriously, I think if somebody feels more natural in drag they might as well go for it. I know a few guys who look really good as women. It's only the real dickheads that have a problem with trannies.

20. that's the thing, Baldy...
it's not that being 'in drag' makes youy feel better...
it's that not doing so (and being who you really are under the surface) makes you feel like you're in a gorilla suit with the zipper stuck.
