In his mind he's a woman in a mans body.
Certainly. And I won't dispute that.
A lot of Transgender people can relate to him. He could help people in that way.
I've no problem with this and I can understand how his story and struggles exposed in book or television can provide some additional morale to others struggling or burdened with the same dilemma. They can see a famous person who is "one of them" and feel a little less alone, a little less odd in the world.
By not hiding, that he's a transgender any more.
In my mind once he would begin transitioning into a woman there would be little to no way he could hide. Due to his celebrity status and celebrity status of his family.
It's not like Christians can relate to Transgender unless they are Transgender.
Yeah, I think this is so (at least in using the term "Christian" to denote some person absent of a problem or dilemma or in class separate from class
x). But Christians can't relate to crack addicts, heroin addicts, pedophiles, or any number of people facing some dilemma.
Again, using the term "Christian" here to mean a person in a separate class than a class
x, y, or z spoken of. Because Christians in reality are transgender, heroin addicts, pedophiles, overweight, divorced and so on and so on.
But for the purpose of discussion I'll go along with using the term "Christian" to mean someone of a different class of people.
So, although Sistrin is Christian, for purpose of this discussion, we can say that Christians can't relate to those parents that raise autistic children. But Sistrin can, better than I can. I've only been on the outside looking in.
I don't think one needs to be able to relate to crack addiction or pedophilia to deduce they are morally wrong trappings. And that they are
undesirable character traits.
The Christian is commanded by Jesus
to reach for the impossible:
"Be perfect like your Father in Heaven."
Yet, Jesus did not stone sinners, in fact He understood all people have sinned and therefore writing names in the dirt He said,
"He who has not sinned cast the first stone."
I think he said he's wasn't having his penis removed. I believe he still will like woman.
I never watched the interview. I meant to though. I need to see if I can watch it online. I'm intrigued.
So, if he's not getting his penis cut off this would be the norm for most males that become transsexuals. Physically transsexuals. Most become and remain what is known as "pre-op transsexual." Meaning they don't get their penis surgically removed and reshaped into a vagina.
The number one reason, from my understanding, is that
most transsexuals that have their penis removed and reshaped into a vagina, lose most of their ability to be sexually stimulated in that region. In other words... they lose
sexual gratification. At least physically. They may receive some mentally.
So, many opt to keep their penis and testicles even if they are primarily sexually attracted to men and want to be sexually penetrated and dominated by men.
But wait... he likes women and he is white therefore he is an
eligible bachelor or good husband. What, no feminists and white liberal media (conservatives enjoy agreeing with them on this point) attacking these transgender men the way they attack black men in the media by saying, "Black women have no men to marry because few black men are college graduates."
A black
plumber, or a mulatto Marine as I was, is
unworthy of black and or American women, because we are so "bad" intrinsically. According to the religion of say... Obama, Bruce Jenner, feminists and those Bishops seated on the US Supreme Court.
I've never heard this religious nonsense coming out the mouths of Muslim women or promoted in the Muslim media or Latin American media. It's an American phenomenon.
Bruce Jenner is no better a man and no more worthy to be a boyfriend of some woman than the millions of black men lacking college degrees or working low paying jobs. Irrespective of how much liberal media celebrates rich rappers, financially wealthy drug dealers, wealthy corporate workers, NBA players, gay men, transsexuals, and Bruce Jenner. I like the hit TV show
Empire as well. But the ideal men in shown in that liberal religiously motivated theatrical show are primarily fantasies. Few men and few black men ever become that professionally and financially perfect. Notice perhaps lower than 1% of "black TV shows" or "black movies" depict the average low paid black male worker. If they do it is to disparage such men.
So, no story of how white Bruce Jenner betrays white women, of how openly gay black men betray black women, but the same media loooooooooooves to run their mouths about how the typical black hetero man betrays the black woman.
American women are influenced by the media. Period.
So, Bruce Jenner is lucky he is not a mulatto man like me, because there would only be an American financed and run psychological war waged against him. Period. Story over with.
I know a man, that struggled with being Transgender and it never went away.
Yeah, well I struggle with crack addiction--and some would argue dual addiction to alcohol as well--and that struggle has never "went away." But why do I have to be incarcerated over it? The media depicts me in the worst light with no sympathy whatsoever.
Oh, wait, it's "my choice," right?
If your struggles include being the parent of an autistic child I'm hazarding a guess that never goes away either. And what happens to your child as an adult in age when if and when you die? I'm guessing that concern and worry never quite leaves a parent of an autistic child.
Fortunately for me, my dilemma does not include being a pedophile or even raising a child that depends on me. I'd hate to be a crackhead plus having a child and a child that is autistic no less--dependent on me fulfilling my role as a father.
He was never able to change, since it wasn't really accepted. He dressed like a man around family members. But when he wasn't around them. He dress like a female. I seen pictures of him dressed as a woman hidden behind the normal looking pictures. So he still gave his family pictures, but they would hide them. They were religious so they weren't going to have that showing on the wall. His father said he could tell something wasn't right with him, since he was a little kids. He kept trying to dress as a girl even when he was little.
Okay?
And their are "dry drunks." But there are alcoholics that are 10 years sober.
As an alcoholic once put it--once you become a pickle you can never return to being a cucumber. A lot of truth. Although, some alcoholics are able to return to being cucumbers--social drinkers that is.
My point is almost all sober drug addicts and alcoholics are
tempted to use for the rest of their entire lives. Few ever obtain a mental "peace" where they never think about using again. The so-called "dry drunks" have it worst of the sober people because they live mentally tormented wanting to drink but never due. Hence, they are angry and discontent nearly all the time.
So, basically this guy you are talking about is the equivalent--or was--of a "dry drunk." But his was with respects to wanting to dress like a woman, switch his hips, and exhibit effeminate mannerism but was never culturally allowed to so he closeted like a "dry drunk." He be sheer will didn't do what he was driven internally to do just like a "dry drunk."
There is no dishonor in this man having carried out what Muslims term a "Greater Jihad" (different from "Lesser Jihad" which is violent warfare). If a pedophile carries out "Greater Jihad" he is battling internally those things inside himself driving him, tormenting him, to want to be inappropriately sexual with a child. No dishonor in Greater Jihad. There would have been no dishonor in Bill Clinton carrying out a Greater Jihad and battling those things in him driving him to commit adultery all behind his wife's back.
When it comes to sex today, feminists and liberals say Greater Jihad is horrible, but only wonderful if women are using it to rid themselves of any attraction to blue collar working black men, or black men laboring for low wages, or black men that are drug addicts. Or white men age 18 or older sexually attracted to girls 17 and younger. Then Greater Jihad is wonderful for heterosexual men they say.
