Yeah, mulattoes are hot...
Gender issues are always going to be the last frontier on intolerance. Accepting homosexuality is pretty easy compared to accepting something that is a genetic abnormality.
Why?
Because it's programmed into our own genes to be fearful of something that is clearly genetically abnormal. It could potentially damage the gene pool.
Admittedly, we can easily be beyond that on an intellectual level, but our first subconscious reaction will always be to recoil, because it is somewhat freakish.
Now, I know several people that have gender issues.
Some are quite clearly born the wrong gender for them (i.e. VERY masculine women, VERY feminine men)... So I say good for them when they change their parts around. Finally they'll have the right part for their body chemistry.
But even I find it a little odd that someone that clearly identifies as being male, has a build that suggests they have and have always had a substantially more male set of hormones (women don't get shoulders & jawlines like that, even with hormone treatments... you have to grow up that way), and has had an operation to become a male, is now putting so much stock in doing what is biologically a female role.
John, what's your opinion on people born hermaphroditic and that want to stay that way?
