Gay Marriage revisited, Political postings discouraged

[~K~]

That's just an odd thing to read!

I've seen her write and say that several times and it's such an oxymoron even to me.

"I think the biggest physical change will be this huge weight thats off your shoulders"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that weight has probably migrated to her chest.

You are not wrong ...

Women .. which leads to a good point. A lot of people equate gender and sexuality as one thing. The reality is that they are not and they are only loosely linked to each other.

Oh, we finally have one person who can use the "I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body" line , for real

To late!! Ive been reading to see what things you all say about my gorgeous dad!!!

i personally would like to say i'm sorry for the conduct that the guys here display here. they treat women like sex objects, and post girly pictures. i find it very degrading with their "I'd hit it", "nice rack", etc..... they should be ashamed!

Dee: Karyn, we're gonna be late. I still need to put on my makeup!
Karyn: Look, you've had a few more years to get this shit down to a science!
Dee: Sorry, I tend to forget. But you can't continue to hog the bathroom!
Karyn: Quit yelling or I'll come out looking like Alice Cooper! By the way, we're out of toilet paper AGAIN!

Now that was a pretty damn funny senario to read....

That's really interesting. Do you consider yourself homosexual? It also brings up a political point - if you marry a woman, then become a woman yourself, is your marriage still legal if your state doesn't recognize gay marriages? There are interesting times ahead.

I guess you could say I am but then it all depends on how it becomes legally viewed.That's the way I personally view it.My understanding is that my marriage cannot be legally voided. As far as I know because I married as a bilogical man to a woman then any state must recognize it. There have been arguments where legally they have tried to use chromosome defense to establish biological basis.

The problem with using the chomosome value is that it tends to get used against us for any treatment. If theoretically I'm born as XY then why should the insurance pay for treatment. I'm sure this will be challenged by things like klinefelter syndrome or in androgen sensitive people.

There was a southern case of a married couple going through a divorce and the husband did not want to pay alimony or whatever and attempted to get his marriage voided based on the biological factor (XY) IIRC the judge sided with the wife.

The bottom line for me is that I adore my wife and there isn't anyone I would rather spend my life with. She has great qualities that have made me a much better person. That's all that really matters to me.

That in itself makes you a lucky 'whatever you want to be' on Earth.

Guys..... I don't want to come through as a prude. Gosh the ones of you that know me can attest that I am far from it.
~K~ has shared a very personal issue on this public forum. An issue that is controversial to some, but the fact that he aired here shows his/her true nature. His/her family has joined this thread and Bill has behaved to our relief (love ya big guy!!).
You all have responded in a way that I would have never guessed in a 100 years. So far nothing but a public outpour of support.

But, IMPO some of the jokes and one liners coming in are a bit on the edge. I don't know.... ~K~ has been a trouper and been very sincere but I wonder if any of these pokes might be hurtful. I believe we need to be respectful, not that we haven't been, towards ~K~ and watch the innuendos and pokes at humor.

To some this might be a joke, I know it. To some including ~K~ and Annah is a very deep and personal subject.
You all are great, I mean it. Just be considerate and mindful.

You're right Joe. This could get outta hand.

I spoke briefly with Karyn on AIM and I too was worried about some of the comments. I related it to a person who is overweight. That person might crack on himself and even tell "fat" jokes when in reality, it's hurting him deep inside.

We're now into 11 pages of comments and I'm yet to see anything hateful or malicious in nature. This was a big, serious announcement and I believe most of us are trying to keep a light hearted nature to our posts. Joe, your point is well taken on this end and for what it's worth, my comments were strictly made in jest, not at anyone's expense.
