I
was out shopping with my Mom and Grandmother. We came to a health
store. You know, the kind with vitamins, natural products, and health
freak stuff like that. Anyway, one of the workers there, well, wasn't
what she seemed to be...actually, he might as well have come out to everyone
he saw, because that's exactly what he did. I know he was going through
the sex change process. My Mother said that this person was a pretty
girl, and also a good-looking boy. I couldn't help but agree with
her. He was kinda cute. She said that she didn't blame him
for wanting a sex change. I think she pretty much has the drift that
being gay is not a choice. |

You
know, I can't emphasize that enough! Like I said in my little "About
Me" section at the end of issue one, I always thought I'd end up marrying
a woman some day.

I
recently got a threatening message from some one who claimed to know me.
I don't know who they are, but they really hurt me. The relevancy
to this topic is that this person did not believe that being gay is not
something you choose to do just to gross all the straight people out or
even express ourselves.
They ended the message with
"goodbye queer". How hurtful
is that?! |

I’ve
finally looked at the responses, and put some quotes up. I have my
opinions here too.

| About
Sex Changes |
“Although there may be some guys that think they need
to be women, I think a lot of times the gay guy just hates himself for
being gay and becomes a woman in order to get "straight", then he can go
with other guys and it's...the way straight people like it.”
“They should leave no stone unturned. Get every
possible professional opinion they can. After all, when it's done,
it's DONE!”
“...They shouldn't do it because they think it'll justify
their feelings.”
“...What if you find out later you made a mistake, can
you go back and change it?”
“...Think about it for a second. What do these people
REALLY want?” |
Here's
What I think:
A sex change is a huge step for someone to take. It isn't necessary
although people may think so. Personally, I would never do it.
I'd probably chicken out even having considered it. If a person does
want to have one, they have to know that they can't hide it from their
family and friends, or the government for that matter. They might
want to legally change their name. While some think it's wrong, I
don't have a solid opinion. I do it would be awkward for a person
to have an altered body and having to live with it for the rest of their
life, but others may not want to live with themselves as their current
gender.
Hypothetically, when
all is said and done; you see this openly gay guy, and he's so cute and
fun. Then you look at yourself and feel like having another sex change.
If you're trying to rebel against society this is one of the worst ways
to. In fact, you're obeying them. "A girl should go out with
a guy." If you change sexes, you're agreeing with that. IF
you go to any meetings or parades that signify homosexuality, you will
be looked at with sympathy. What is their sympathy going to do if
you've already got the operation?
| About Threatening
Messages |
“...just ignore them. Don't believe
them if they say they know who you are (and so what even if they do?) or
that they can format your hard disk or steal your dog
or something like
that.”
(I think it matters if they know who you are. You
don't know what people can and can't do, until they do it or not.)
“I think that it’s sad that people do this to satisfy
their own pleasure of seeing someone in pain.”
“If it was an e-mail I'd toss it out”
Here's What I think:
That message was a long time
ago, and I've laughed in the guy’s face since. It goes to show you
that most threatening message are simply to disturb you. People are
very strange, and do weird and stupid things. We all have to realize
that. Oh well, he's blocked from contacting me now, and I don't think
i'll need to worry about him anymore.
I don't think it's the brightest idea to tell your
parents unless they know you're gay or bi or their comfortable with you
chatting with people. They'll wonder how all this started, and might
not allow you to chat at all. |
