Obama's Department of Justice to the rescue.

It's wrong to treat transexuals as disgusting. There are plenty of transexuals out there who one wouldn't know were born the opposite gender if one was never told, even after being intimate. If one doesn't find a transexual attractive because one can't get over hangups about who they were, that needs to be acknowledged as an issue with oneself, not with the transexual.

Not wanting to engage in a sexual relationship with someone doesn't mean you think they're "disgusting," just not attractive as mates

Someone who is "broken" by gender identity disorder can be fixed by supporting them and accepting them as the gender they identify as.

Someone who is 'broken' by pedophilia can be fixed by supporting them and allowing them access to children.

This is a fair warning to those sarcastically impaired the preceding text was written in jest.

Actually they can't be fixed, not with current technology. Just lied to fairly effectively.

So if somebody gets in a relationship with somebody then finds out that the person is transsexual later on and has qualms about that they have a problem?

So if you're not panssexual, then there's something wrong with you I guess.

If one is attracted to someone and the only reason one doesn't want to be with them is the knowledge that they are a transexual, that's one's hang up. Their status as a transexual has no impact on anything else in such a scenario.

You're right, I should have been clearer. Dismissing all transexuals as unsuitable for a partner because of a disgust at their past is wrong. That was a general statement to clarify what I was saying and not directed towards anyone in particular.

Why do you compare transexuals to pedophiles?

Having the body and living the life of the gender they identify counts as being fixed/whole.

He's not, he's saying your logic can be applied to normalize pedophilia as well, therefore the logic is flawed. It's a bit of poisoning the well, but it's also true that if what someone feels they are is something that should be supported then it should apply to pedophiles too.

They don't really have the body, just an approximation, and just because you live your life as something you identify does not make you fixed. I could start living the life of Napoleon but it wouldn't make me Napoleon, it would just get me landed in an institution because there aren't enough people like that for liberals to milk for votes.

I really don't see how they're at all comparable.

Why don't you think they really have the body of the gender they identify as?
