Which doesn't make sense.  Isn't the whole point of the prison system to ensure that the prisoners are raped?
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

At any rate, I am a troglodytes and don't understand being trans. The LGB model has gender role behavior as something societally constructed. The T model seems heavily anchored in the biological model.

The Ts, I can understand. Sometimes you're born in the wrong body, and sometimes you just like to feel pretty.

The B, however, is a total fucking cop-out.

Those are two separate things though. The latter falls under the society construction model of gender role behavior and rejecting that (which many gay people do to various extents). Saying you've been born in the wrong body is a different kettle of fish.

That's why I used Ts in plural, and two independent clauses. :hug:

:yes: I think I rate as pretty tolerant of homosexuality, and probably in the top 1% of heterosexual Russian speakers, but transsexuality just gives me creeps.
