This is not what someone says when they are trying to understand.

Yeah there are gay trans people too and they seem to have no filter lol. *ok that was a bit of a general blanket statement, what I meant to say is that the ones that want to spend time with me have no filter and are gay.

I don't know but I'm a hermit, it don't hang out with anyone lol. Also the acupuncture needle thing was hilarious lol. Most of the trans people that have wanted to "hang out" with me had more than "hanging out" in mind, so pass lol.

There are two gay couples that come to my clinic regularly. One is a gay male couple, and the other is a lesbian in a lesbian relationship. In the male couple one of the guys is clearly the "man of the house" and the other is very feminine, in fact I think in some ways he acts more feminine than I do lol. But while although he is very feminine he still identifies a a man and seems happy to do so. The gal that comes here is also the "man of the house" so to speak and is much more masculine than I am. Her fiancé is a very girly girl. I don't know any other trans people in real life but I do talk to many online. Again I have seen the whole spectrum. There are trans women that are quite the "tomboy" and rather butch and others that are super girly and everything in between (even some nerds like myself). Some trans women are lesbians and like women, some are straight and like men. I have also spoken to trans men and the same goes for them. There is a lot of variety out there in not only identification but also orientation and so many possibilities for combinations.

I think people can be who ever they want to be lol.

I think this again goes back to sex verses gender

When I read about your feelings and experience I really feel bad and wish you could go ahead and transition. Sorry if I'm out of place, I just get emotional when I read about what you say. 🥹🩷

That is interesting because it was basically the same for me growing up. Most of my friends were female, and back when I was trying to fit in and dating girls they would always tell me that I was not at all like other guys and that I was great because it was like talking to another girl lol. So much makes sense in retrospect.

I find this topic "interesting" since my ex was Russian lol. I can tell you all about how Russian's "love" haha.

Sometimes it's not what one says but how they say it. ^This is not wanting to understand. This is a Q&A. That is neither a Q or an A.

I mean it's such a convincing argument after all lol. "You're not a woman because.... reasons"

I see the transphobe Sleepy Bluejay has been reincarnated. You have been reported. These idiots say this stuff like they just thought of something brilliant that I have not already heard a million times lol. At least have an argument for your bigoted statements. Do you have a reason why you think what you think is true, or is it just because this triggers you for some reason and you don't like it?

Just curious what everyone's favorite or least favorite Suttas/Sutras were and why?

It took a little longer than usual but the side effects did indeed kick in. Severe emotions, as well as vivid dreams and a weird skin rash.

In acupuncturist school there were a lot of the hippies / new age types and I felt like they liked saying things intentionally that made no sense because it seemed like that to them the less it made sense the more spiritual it was for some reason.

Alice is actually transgendered .... lol

Um wow, that is um.... "interesting" lol. This is the kind of crap that makes people think we are nuts

Oh I like that!!!

Really? May I ask why? I still do, but less enthusiastically than I used to.

One of the biggest differences between protestantism and Catholicism. And not exactly the same thing but a similar situation between Mahayana and Theravada.

Sticking to the scriptures and rejecting tradition. Very Protestant LOL

I'm not invalidating the later traditions protestant style, just noting that there is a difference. To be honest a lot of my practice (mantra) is not in the suttas.

I suppose that's a whole other question LOL
