I guess.
For those who do though: staying with someone outta convenience or for financial gain is, pretty sucky.

Having been divorced a few times, using “woman” and “half” in the same sentance triggers negative responses in me.

There used to be a reality TV show on sexuality back in the 80s iirc, and there was a couple (two women) but then one of them lifted her skirt and there was a penis! I’m like wait a minute, I thought they were 2 women but I guess it was one woman and one hermaphrodite.

I saw this reviewed by Daniel and kinda thought I might like to try it.

Still creeps me out and I’m never going to apologize for that: just as people are free to do as they please with themselves, everybody around them are free to feel however they like about it.
Less extreme examples can be seen in every town and I will look and think “She’s alright… hang on though…” and immediately identify something that’s not quite fitting in. .
Usually a clumsy walk in heels is enough to make me check the shoulders and hips to confirm, but even when there’s nothing wrong with the walk, there’s ALWAYS something on a subconscious level that’s not right and my brain whispers:
“It’s a tranny.”
"Of course!"
“And staring is rude”
"Yes…"
“Stop staring…”
"Right…"
At least half the time though it’s obvious, because they move like an alien trying to get used to a human body for the first time and immediately flag in my head.
Just glad I don’t have that particular flavour of personality defect.
Course I’ve thought plenty of times how much it sucks being male, and opined here and there what it would be like to be a woman, but always from a male perspective and all roads of thought always lead back to my being a hot chick touching myself in the shower.
Also, that the thought of all those stinking, nasty men (KNOWING what we men truly think underneath the socially acceptable bullshit we spray-out to seem more enlightened to women than we really are) coming at me - yuck: I can’t imagine anything more disgusting than touching another man in any context.
I’ll end with the disclaimer that I don’t care enough about transgender issues to be against anyone doing anything they want with their own body, because transgender issues don’t affect me in the slightest so naturally I’m not invested either way, but - as I said in the “Scotty & Guido” thread as it’s no doubt come to be known - I think it’s overall just sad that anyone would be SO miserable about the body they were born into, and it’s a pity they cannot just accept who they are without feeling the need to change such a fundamental thing about themselves that radically.
Shame there’s not a way to intercept that body-image malfunction before it festers into an obsession so they can be just, whatever they were born as and be fine.
Why can’t I ever just give a brief reply to controversial topics?

You know how many women have the same thoughts about being a man? Mostly for two reasons…better job opportunities and the convenience of peeing anywhere 
I think it’s sad that people feel the need to completely change their bodies and wondered if there was a way to reconcile with what they were born with but I eventually gave up on that and just accept people for what they are and the decisions they make for themselves. It is weird that you can be born into the wrong sex. I still don’t know what to make of it. I just let it be, it doesn’t hurt a hair on my head.

Hmm, my niece and her boyfriend want to move to Chicago. I have no idea why. He landed a good job based out of CA but can work remotely. I tell ya’ if I could work remote I would move to Fiji or an Italian Villa on the Mediterranean Sea.

The Keys are nice, real nice. Central and north FL are bland except for a few coastal towns east and west. Unless you like Disney World.

Yeah maybe in upper-tier corporate jobs: for average jobs it seems about even as far as the ratio of male:female I see in work sites - if anything actually, there’s more women though that could be because I’m a cleaner who is only seeing the low-grade workers like teachers, librarians and rail-workers etcetera.
Maybe if I cleaned private offices in Sydney I’d see a higher proportion of men.

I grew up in a southern suburb of Chicago and there are things that I miss. Great museums, forest preserves in the outlying areas, Chicago style Italian Beef sandwiches, going to Indiana Dunes State Park and a few other things. What I don’t miss are the winters (Denver winters aren’t as bad as some believe, our last snowstorm not withstanding) and the muggy summers because of the humidity. I do need to get back there to visit a niece in the not too distant future…possibly this fall.
