What I found funny about that pic was the response "it's a woman's penis." I literately LoL'ed when I read that. I laughed right now just typing it.I certainly don't agree with this. Though, I have noticed these lgbt people are doing everything they can to push back anything offensive. I can't exactly hate either since the very person I train under is a half transgendered man. He had is lower region changed but maintains the male upper half. He goes back and forth with taking testosterone and taking things to make him more female. He has started trying to explain how to properly ask someone in the lgbt community their "pronouns." It's weird and at times frustrating, but at the same time I have to argue with myself. I can't judge someone else for their belief systems.
Being in the belly dance world, I'm exposed to a lot of this. I have friends on both sides and as difficult as it is to try to understand them, they really are my most loyal friends.
I do find this post a bit disturbing, because (in my eyes) that's still a man. Put my beliefs aside and try to look at it their way, at least they are finding ways to accept EVERYONE in their community.

I hear you. As much as I want to be respectful, I just feel like it should be a 2 way street. Being straight, they should expect When I address them as the gender I see I'm not being offensive. But I'm also not part of the lgbt community. I believe the "pronouns" should be kept within their community.What I found funny about that pic was the response "it's a woman's penis."

I don't have a problem with anyone doing what they want with their body. I'm not going to tolerate someone trying to force me to speak a certain way, tho. People just need to mind their own business.
I worked for the first man in Texas to have a sex change.
He liked women, and had himself turned into a lesbian.
