Others may have just dressed as the gender they felt appropriate, there was a cross dressing Egyptian pharoah, and I think a French king, too. And then others would sadly have been persecuted for it. orion70: some people would have just suffered, possibly without knowing why-rates of depression, suicide etc are much higher in the trans community than the rest of the queer community.

I think the weird thing is, everyone here is making sense. You just have to try and see things from everyone's perspective. If everyone did that, we all might actually get somewhere...and even if not, we might gain some new understanding of each other. And GatsbyGal is right. I would call anyone whatever they want to be called, he, she, male, female, because what does it hurt to do that? I guess I feel like, I wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings or be an ass over something so trivial. If it makes them happy, and isn't hurting anyone, why not? And it's true, I DON'T know how transsexuals feel, so really it's all kinda a moot point. But I do wish them happiness, especially Chaz, because it would be nice to see more happy people out there. It makes the world a better place :) Icecat-

Everyone has one. I`m just a little unnerved about the fact that Chaz is so overweight. He`s taking male hormones, he`s already at risk for heart disease. Please loose the belly fat, and take care of your health. Yep, opinions are out there. Everyone has one. I`m just a little unnerved about the fact that Chaz is so overweight.

And it really made me feel bad as a person. I owe Shelly Shellz an apology. I do not know you personally and yes, this is a site where you can say whatever you want, and have whatever opinions you want. That is the beauty of these blogs/comments. So, if I have offended anyone I am sorry. And to the Pickelhaube - You made a lot of sense to me.. Thank You! I just got done reading all of the comments… And it really made me feel bad as a person.

Are you gonna say, "Well you were born 'Nathan', so that's what I'm going to call you regardless of what you want." No, of course not, you're going to call him Paul because that is his preference. Same goes for "he" and "she." Of course Chaz is still technically a woman, he still has a uterus and ovaries and a vagina. But if he prefers that people call him a "he" and not a "she," I think ignoring that is a douchey thing to do.

What the hell is up with that? He could be a really attractive guy - lose the overweight hillbilly truckdriver look, man, geez! Does he really thing the only way to be a man is to have no neck?

Doctors are even considering removing gender identity disorder from the DSM just like homosexuality was removed years ago. GID isn't a mental illness, like a delusion or psychosis. I pity those who are unable to feel empathy unless it is something they themselves have experienced.

You can't judge anyone until you've walked in their shoes...or sandals as the case may be :). Be grateful if you're happy with who you are - it's a blessing. He must have gone through a lot of mental turmoil to come to this decision. "GOOD ON YOU," CHAZ! I wish him happiness.

But for those saying that it's a medical necessity etc, there's no other choice because they were born this way etc, @ Mon and @ Shannon........... what did people do before this operation / transition was medically possible ?
