So I actually have sympathy for this person. Basically these are people whose brains tell them they are the gender opposite of their body. You have to admit you never "decided" to feel like the man/woman you are- the feeling was just completely there for you, fully formed . So there exist people where the two do not match- the brain and the sex.

The worst part is they're being led to believe that, by "educating' people, they can be desired. That's NEVER going to happen and leading them to believe it can through some Marxist type struggle session on the part of everyone in society is cruel in the extreme.

They can be accepted, but not desired. To be desired, they have to find somone to whom they are desirable. Most gay men don't want a female body. Neither do they want a female body which has been operated on to look like a male. They want another man and his natural body. Same goes for all directions in all forms of reversal- straight men straight women lesbian women etc.

To the person who wrote this- Look, if people are so flexible as you require them to be about what they're attracted to, why don't YOU change YOURSELF to be attracted to men as a straight woman? What? That's not your authentic self ? That's not your authentic desire? That's not who you feel youself to be? Well, welcome to the club.

I acknowledge this can be real, not something they did to themselves out of some weird desire (in most cases at least) to be different . It's easy to imagine that the brain gets printed one way for one reason or another and the body is another way. OK. I don't hate them but there's no way in HELL I'm going to date them just like there's no way in HELL I'm going to fall in love with my car's exhaust pipe. It's not the thing I am looking for and that has NOTHING to do with culture any more than your belief you're a trans was imposed on you by culture.

You can save youself a lot of heartache and not expose yourself to these situations. This is something we all learn. There are whole classes of people- taller, prettier, slimmer, smarter, the list goes on and on, whom we desire but who do not desire us and we just have to suck it up and learn to live with it. Sexual rejection is a basic experience of life EVERYONE experiences, and yes, it makes you want to cry.

All I can say is there's someone out there for everyone because just the way you were born with a mismatched brain and body so also is there someone out there who was born with unusual tastes in partners.

But aside from that, you know what? Thre's more to life than romance (not that you were looking for romance at a gay orgy...). People who die virgins live incredibly fulfilled lives and contribute to society in spectacular ways. The richness and meaning to be found in life is not about who you partner with or even if you partner at all.

Just ask Sir Isaac Newton.

Sir Isaac Newton

he was a fraud who claimed davinci and others work as his own...

The universal theory of gravity was di Vinvci huh? And calculus?

google for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction and newtons law of motion comes up and says he said it but davinci said that hundreds of years earlier in a notebook...they all had access to his other notebooks. some that are still secret. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a hidden or lost book where he invented calculs too.

there are also some indians where they had missionarries that claim they invented calculus hundreds of years earlier. hes also accused of fraud on other things like Hooke claimed Newton's theory of light and color was stolen from ideas he produced 7 years earlier (in 1665)

The Newton Leibniz dispute is famous. There is no way divinvi invented calculus because it itself was dependent on certain recent advances in math and notation. Saying there is X, even if that is true and I am not aware that it is, is far far different than proving it is true mathematically, quantifiying it and then using that development to prove that it appiles to everything from planets to apples, not to mention the notations and proofs. If davinci had done this, he'd have told people and used it.

Davinci was great. Sure he was. But anyway the pointof myu post was not to examine far off theories about Newton's relatve contributions. Peace/.

He got that from gallileo who may or may not have got it from davinci. Also the modern conception of calculus doesn't look like newtons version and it doesn't look like any hindu version.
