I don't think so. o3o I think some people just like wearing the clothes. I could be wrong, though.

[Adsolution]

MLII's definition of the difference between transvestites and transsexuals is 100% correct. Some men just like to wear women's cloathing and some women like to wear men's cloathing. They don't have to think or want to be the opposite gender to wear them; the two aren't a bundle. For instance, transsexuals male-to-female might still prefer to wear male clothing, and thus he would have nothing in common with transvestites.

It's usually associated with deriving pleasure, sometimes sexual pleasure from crossdressing, but that's more of a media thing and isn't a requirement to fit the actual definition.

...Well somebody likes arguing.

You've contributed as many posts to this argument as I have. Why do some people accuse me of 'arguing' every time I disagree with them? Why does everything have to be about my personal motives? Can't we just have a discussion without bringing my personality into it?

You present it as if you're mocking the statement. .3. It seems more like an attempt to, again, mock me more than anything else. I don't know if you're aware of this but most of your posts come across as if you're being very sarcastic and almost taunting the person you're speaking to

Please try to address my points with logic rather than babbling on about whether you think my register is appropriate.

It's not that I don't want people to talk about it, it's that I don't want people obsessively bringing it up every time the subject's mentioned .3.

How is mentioning something approximately once every twelve months 'obsessive' behaviour – not to mention the fact that I was responding to directly related posts made by you on each occasion? You're being absolutely ridiculous. Please try to address my points rather than babbling on about whether the frequency with which I raise a related but ultimately unimportant issue is appropriate.

And here we go again with the quotation marks. This is why I can't help thinking you're mocking me.

Your silliest complaint yet. Quotation marks simply indicate the use of words that are not my own, whose use I do not agree with, or which I do not want attributed to myself. Please try to address my points with logic etc.

Okay,. so maybe I'm more of a supporter than an activist. I didn't know the difference at the time and I have too much on my mind to remember to change it. .3. So that's eleven-year-olds, what about fourteen-year-olds? Are their political views more acceptable?

They have a somewhat higher chance of being genuine, but I'm still puzzled as to how these political beliefs became rooted in your mind at such a young age. I do not believe that children should be politicised.

Excuse the language here but how fucking dare you. Presumtive and slanderous? I will admit that I have insulted you before, and told you to f off a few times, and I'm sorry. That's what happens when I'm angry. But don't start calling me names just because you give off the wrong impression of your beliefs on such things.

You made an unsubstantiated accusation that I hate gay people. That's highly insulting and way out of order; 'presumption' and 'slander' are perfectly apt. On further reflection, I think you may not have grasped the magnitude of what you said; I made some similarly ignorant posts when I was your age.

You think I don't know that? You give off the impression of being more inclined towards the latter. If I've got the wrong impression then fine, sorry. But it's the impression you've given me, so you may want to change that a little.

The impression you've inferred from my posts is nonsense, and since you are the only member to make such accusations it would seem that the problem is on your end rather than mine.

When my brother came out to her she tried to convince him of his heterosexuality for about two weeks, stopped talking to him pretty much altogether for another month when that failed, is rather reluctant to let him hang out with/speak to any of his gay friends (but not his hetero ones), and doesn't want me talking to RayFan. At all. Has told me to be "careful" talking to her a few times and suggested aonce at the start that I should stay away from her. This is because she's transsexual. She has no problem with any other of you.

She had difficulty coming to terms with her son's homosexuality and she wants her daughter to be careful on the internet. I still do not see how you arrived at the conclusion that she hates gay people. If you think that her asking you to be careful around transsexuals is extreme, just wait until she finds out you've befriended a Sri Lankan paedophile!

[Tobbe]

She has no problem with any other of you.

Really? Not even spiral?

[spiraldoor]

Tell her I said hello.

[Adsolution]

I don't think she can quite comprehend spiral enough to make any sort of judgement.

[Tobbe]

I'll give her a hand:

[DesLife]

You made an unsubstantiated accusation that I hate gay people. That's highly insulting and way out of order

You don't hate gay people ? You sick fuck.

[Keane]

Again I miss the fun conversations while I'm gone.

[Shrooblord]

You just read them, didn't you? Isn't that fun enough?

Some people like to assert dominance over others to make themselves feel more powerful. The chain of thought that leads to bullying is easy to understand. The same cannot be said of arcade-wanking. Who knows what was going on in that stupid brain of his?

Emphasis on 'physically disgusting'. I would not vomit if someone broke my arm, but I might if I got a stranger's jizz on my hand.

Alright, both arguments are fair. I understand where you were coming from now.

Also, MLII, his posts don't come across as sarcastic at all - they're just quite formal in the way they're formulated, and I think that's because spiral likes formulating his posts intelligently; so do I and I don't come over sarcastic now do I?

...

PS

Coming soon!
Rayman 2: Razorbeard's Return

How'd ya know?! :O Spies! Lies! My home's been bugged!

[Adsolution]

Alright, both arguments are fair.

No they aren't, spiral has shown complete negligence as to what goes on in a bully's mind when they are actually bullying. Call me liberal on this for the thousandth time, but probably only half or less of them do it for the sake of dominance. It's an entirely invalid analogy.

[Shrooblord]

True as that may be, now I do understand his reasoning, which was the main thing I had a problem with. I still think like you do on this matter, but now I do understand both sides of the story.

[spiraldoor]

No they aren't, spiral has shown complete negligence as to what goes on in a bully's mind when they are actually bullying.

How am I supposed to know what goes on in a bully's mind when they are bullying? Do you know yourself? How? Is everyone without intimate knowledge of the psychology of more than half of the bully population 'negligent'? Who are you?

Call me liberal on this for the thousandth time,

Why? What does that have to do with whether bullying is 'physically disgusting'? The only point I am interested in making is that the logic of bullying is easy to grasp and the logic of wanking on an arcade cabinet is not.

but probably only half or less of them do it for the sake of dominance.

So I was correct about a large proportion of them anyway?

This is silly. Maybe it will make more sense after I drink some tea.

[Adsolution]

Wait

Wait

Refer to one of the items on my 'interests' list on my profile.

I misread your post, missing the sentence between "the chain of thought that leads to bullying is easy to understand" and "who knows what's going on in that stupid brain," I originally thought the latter sentence was in reference to bullies.

Yes, quite silly indeed. I'll have some tea as well.

[spiraldoor]

[Adsolution]

Delectable, though I'm more of a plain Jasmine tea kind of person.

[Haruka]

The valeriana tea is the best one to calm down.

[Tobbe]

Call me liberal on this for the thousandth time

Being liberal is awesome. You should really try it sometime, spiral.

[spiraldoor]

I was liberal for a decade or so. It was a bit rubbish.

[MLII]

Heh, I don't even know what sort of political standing I have o3o -wants an opinion-

and omg tea

My family loves tea. o3o Except my dad, who drinks coffee. And beer.

Also I did have a large reply written to Spiral but now we're on the subject of tea I've decided not to post it and enjoy the tea instead ^___^ I also had a rather interested conversation with my mom (where she actually talked) and she reaffirmed her nonbigotry so while I still don't like her attitude I will admit that she probably isn't homphobic.

Also I have a pink wig now
