lol... whats ur opinion, blazn? u've posted this bit of news but havent said whether u think its alright or not...
my opinion, even though I consider myself to be tolerant, is that they are right to sack him/her... I base this on no other reason than that I don't believe in transexualism...
I believe, that when we crawl out of the womb, we either have boys bits or girls bits, or if ur really unlucky/lucky, u might have both and be a hermaphrodite... unless u are a hermaphrodite, u are either one or the other... I don't go for this transgender thing at all, and consider it to be a form of mental illness to consider yourself born in the wrong body, as if thats possible, and rather than have surgical interventions, I think these ppl need some intensive psychotherapy...
I can understand ppl getting sexual kicks from dressing up as the opposite sex, and have no problem with that, and I have no problem with homosexuals blurring the boundaries of gender stereotypes, girls acting like boys and boys acting like girls, but this transsexualism stuff I find more than a little troubling...
so, considering that we have all been discussing the issue of homosexuality recently, and I have accused ppl of bigotry, I would like to tie my colours to the mask and say yes- I too, am bigoted...
gender dysphoria means nothing else than "to be unhappy with ur gender"... it is not a medical condition, its purely psychological... if he dressed up in a frock because he was making a point, if because he was deliberately being politically provocative, then yes, I could see his point, but to need to have ur penis chopped off to feel "whole", well... its a bit freaky...
