Do transsexuals think they should be first on the lifeboats? When the ship is going down, it’s adult human females and children into the lifeboats first. Not men. Not homosexuals. Not bisexual men. Not transvestite men. Not transexual men. Not intersex men. Not queer men. Women and children go first, men protect women from danger, a man in any garb with any surgery is not a woman, and vice versa. When the ship is going down it’s women, and children first. Not men. A “Yes” from a trans person to this question exposes the seriousness of their delusion, and “No” exposes that they know they are not women. So which is it?

I'm a tomboy, so I don't wear make up much and barely know what I'm doing. When you can accept yourself as a man living a woman experience and not expecting to magically be a woman, that's when you will grow as a person. No hate in this message, just love.

I am a natural woman with all the natural parts a woman normally has and they function perfectly well. I know full well what it is to be a woman and love it. Now, I have never been pregnant despite having the capacity to become pregnant. I can NEVER say, think or feel I am really pregnant! WHY? Because I have never been pregnant, there is no earthly way for me to know what pregnancy IS unless I have experienced it biologically and scientifically !! FACTS !! Just like I can NEVER say, I feel or think I am really a man because I am not, nor never have been, nor could I truly become a scientifically biological man no matter how much I think or pretend or interpret my feelings. Funny how some trans people who, don't acknowledge that they have a mental challenge and, insist that they are real women have completely neglected the science!!! TRUE women Naturally have a Vagina. I don't know of any TRUE woman who needed a surgically created open wound FAKE vagina! Also, TRUE women's Vagina are NOT an open wound! True Women's vagina's NEVER need any sort of Maintenance for life, that is described in this video, NEVER! For those that are not sure of who they truly are, I empathize and sincerely want to help! If you think you feel like a woman but don't have or were not born with a natural vagina ( and DNA et.), you are NOT a woman and can NOT feel like a woman ever you are just having a thinking problem. Which is very sad and I truly empathize life is clearly not easy. There is NO scientific, biological, natural way you can EVER know , think, or feel like a woman unless you actually are a woman, biologically with all the natural parts, functioning or not, that a woman has from conception naturally. Sorry, That's THE truth. I, a stranger, care more about you, by telling you the truth than your fake friends and family who so easily lie to you and cause you to have such a drastic surgeries to create a PERMINANT OPEN WOUND IN YOUR BODY? Who hates you that much???? Any person who has other open wounds in their body for other health reasons would easily tell you they would have avoided having the open wound at all costs and have actually lost body parts because of open wounds. It it not scientifically natural to have an open wound on or in your body EVER!!!! Shame on families and so called friends & Drs. who affirm a mental illness and promote these mutilating surgeries and permanently injure people who truly need help. Lastly drugs from a doctor don't change who you really are either! Just like people take cocaine or Meth to be happy or forget, and sure it may work for only the moment but the drugs NEVER truly change you Reality and in fact they make your current real existence even worse!!!! Please don't mention intersex or androgynous anomalies that is completely unrelated to the struggles that trans people have. ❤🩹

Don't get discouraged if your recently started the exercise program to help you lose weight. Early on in the process you typically gain some muscle (which weighs more than fat), but you are also changing your metabolism as well to become more efficient in the process. So, after an initial gain or steady state, along with controlling your diet, your weight should eventually start coming down (I am sure you likely know this...). I am sure this is related to a BMI requirement for surgery, which very much varies surgeon to surgeon. At my initial consultation for mine (back in the day), my BMI was hovering around 32. I was told their cut off was 30. Complication risks with anesthesiology can greatly increase with higher values and that is why they had that rule/cutoff. I was told that if my BMI was 30 or higher at check-in for surgery it would be cause for cancelation/postponement. Of course, I was very nervous that day...but I was tracking it all along. At check in....my BMI was down to 28. (My last measurement was 29..but I think the night before prep helped to reduce it further...but I would not count on that...) I know of other surgeons who require a BMI of 25 or less. I was prepared to go on a starvation diet if necessary to meet any goal like that if necessary...but was happy that my surgeons was 30. That seemed much more achievable than 25 to meet at the time. But even my 28 was not exactly easy... (FYI - My current BMI is back up to 31 at the moment...my body really likes it higher.) Of course, best of luck in your journey with your requirements!
@amethystaherrick4 күн бұрын
Thank you so much, Christine! In Thailand, they're asking for BMI of 28.5. I'm right now around 33, and the US surgeons were happy with 35. I'm on target, I think, and I'm now watching my weight decrease over the past about 10 days. Clearly, I got over that initial hump! But I can also look at myself in clothes and see I'm smaller, so I'm feeling good about that. I'm going to do what I can, and if I don't make the 28.5, the worst that happens is they charge me about another $1000 for increased risk. I'll say more along the way!

HERE IS THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you.

I know two people who completed gender reassignment surgery. The reality of every single day requiring them to center their lives around medical care was not something either of them really grasped, if it was even correctly imparted to them. They are on medication, physical maintenance of their transition, and not infrequent physical setbacks/complications that have turned out to be actually the norm. Their lives still daily center on the physical side of the transitions. Neither says the surgery changed their struggle with their happiness like they believed it would. Neither has a good, or satisfying sex life. Apparently it’s complicated. I don’t know the private details. Neither maintained previous or subsequent relationships. One is totally single, but the other has been in love and not kept the relationships working. Both changed their original stance on reassignment surgery. One feels like they might have had breast implants but not the bottom stuff. One claims total regret. I love them both. They are very brave and suffering people.

I know there have been cross-dressed people who come to dance and have fun but take ish from other patrons who have been drinking. Some band members stopped playing to rescue one person being roughed up on the dance floor once. I cried in the bathroom for the rest of that gig. Society. It’s messy. My biggest complaint is that I don’t believe people who have gender reassignment surgery are properly informed. I’m not sure you CAN properly make a patient understand. I have had a dumb idea that you should live with someone who had it done for a time and see what a day is really like. I also personally don’t believe they have perfected either the medical or surgical procedures to do it. But surgeons live to do surgery (that’s why they chose surgery and everything else they do with office appointments and paperwork is to get into the operating room just like everything else a football player does- exercise and practice and studying game tapes-is to get on the field for a game) -- and EVERYONE wants our money. So even if it’s not perfected, they will do it. Surgeons are not psychologists. Oh, my goodness. Who knew I had such a wordy opinion. God bless your efforts here. 🤎
