Awesome video, I may watch the rest of the hedwig and the angry inch songs on youtube. Never heard of it before 
I think we should embrace and support identity diversity and the ability to live the identity you truly want to be.
There is just no reason to be opposed to this. I do feel sympathy for the hard road that Transgender people often have to walk, but thats all the more reason to support them and not make it even harder.
A great documentary: Growing up Trans. Very fascinating watch for me.

The shitty part about Hedwig I didn't like was at the end you learned Hedwig regretted becoming a female and the movie was more about overcoming the biggest regret ever, and more about being comfortable in your own skin, even if you fucked your skin up. I don't consider the movie painting trans in a bad light, but it was def. not a positive light imo, either.

As I understand it the problem was the transition surgery was botched, so she wasn't able to become a woman or go back to being a man.

I'll give you fuckers another chance to watch what I labled a sit-com on the first page. I've since learned the correct lable is rom-com. Found it on the tube this time>

Mother nature LOVES new things and lets them completely turn the status quo upside down if they are viable.
In a world where the past consistently was less advanced than the present and the present less advanced than the future, conservatism is a resistance to the flow of things.
Completely contrary to mother nature it favors the old over the young.
Well that is one of your more deranged set pieces. What conservatism are you talking about? Social conservatism that has fostered the concept of the nuclear family which has been pretty essential to the survival of the human species or fiscal conservatism which is 100% rooted in the science of human behavior?

How do you figure? I have many Asian neighbors who live in extended families and most of them seem much more successful than the nuclear families. Nicer houses, nicer cars, higher rate of college education.

No, I gave you that bad rating BEFORE you told me to fuck off, because you're an awful poster.

I called you out on your "reality has a conservative bias" bullshit, and you got butthurt. That is what happened.
Then I am a gifted psychic who through foreknowledge of your plans to "call me out on my conservative bullshit" became butthurt and rated you nearly 2 hours in advance of your ever so hurtful comments.

You'll note that your feedback has not been edited... My opinion is based on your post history, not on your goofy rejoinder.
Normally I won't invest this sort of time into a pointless endeavor, but it's really funny to me that you'd expect anyone to take your opinions seriously any more, when you obviously jump to conclusions and stand on them as if it is irrefutable fact.

I feel like we're mucking it up a bit here, let's backpedal:
You guys who are against this sort of thing... why? Why do you have to be like that? If you have read multiple threads on this issue, and saw my posts, you'd see I more or less agree with you! Insofar as a rose by anyother name once had a penis. I agree! But you'd be doing these people a huge solid if you could just accept, or at least tolerate them.
Some may be fucked in the head, sure. So help them. Don't be a huge dick about it, they've got enough issues in that area as it is! ;)
Nobody is hurting you, but plenty of people are hurting them,out of pure malice. Trans people have been murdered because they are trans. Try to imagine that.
So why can't we all just get along?
Edit: @Sitachi: smooches! xoxoxo Whatever man.

A man with XY chromosomes who has a penis is a man. Having it mutilated and turned inside out does not make it a vagina. It is still a penis, but a badly mutilated one.
Jeremiah 13:23King James Version (KJV) 23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
A leopard always has its spots. An Ethiopian is always black. No matter how bad a man wants to be a woman he will always be a man. Severely mentally ill people like Caitlin Jenner are still men. Biologically he is what he is, a man, albeit a severely deformed and mutilated man.

This deserves its own reply. All the trans who are victims of violence are prostitutes or sex trade workers who do not reveal their sex to their John. Also there have been cases where a trans dated a heterosexual without revealing his true sex. Tricking someone into involuntarily performing homosexual acts has lead many a trans to a sort of instant justice. If they were honest and disclosed what they were those incidents would have never happened.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Pointing that out is just hurtful to them and changes nothing.
