Caaaaalm down. Take a few deep breaths. Good.
I was actually initially interested to read your response to Brandon's quite logical questions because I have the very same ones. I think many people do. Unfortunately, you didn't answer them. Instead, you just spewed out hate at him in an emotional rambling rant. That's really too bad because I want to understand the trans thing better, but you're really not defending it or explaining well.
Is someone out there able to answer Brandon's questions without freaking out?

Oh the 21st century American attention span. Unless it's a textable soundbyte with a bunch of "LOL"s, the kiddos tune out. We really are getting dumber and dumber. Try reading a book one day instead of a headline/status update, people. You might find that you actually learn something.

Same thing happened to me. That scary "cult" 44 denigrates helped me get out of a horrible alcoholic relationship at a time when I desperately needed support and understanding. Haven't been to those meetings since, but boy was I grateful they existed back then.

I'm pretty much with you on this one. I don't get the need to change all your equipment so that you can play out some gender stereotype you've got "between your ears." Just be yourself and act as you want, in the casing you came in. And I mean, Chaz's new "appendage" isn't likely to look like he'd want it to (those things are tiny I hear and plus, will he really even be able to see it with all that fat?) and someone else mentioned the man boobs thing. Is it really worth all that money, cutting into your flesh, hormonal changes to your body, etc just to say that you're "a man"?? That being said, I've never had some deep-seated need to change my equipment either so I have no idea what that's like.
Trying to be open-minded and all, people, but sorry, I just don't get it.

Excellent point! I hadn't thought of that, but it's so true. Always being "pitched to" all the time really is unattractive and a buzz kill. And it reeks of desperation. Women are sooooo used to the pathetic pitches all day long that it's refreshing to be around someone that's not playing any game, just being himself. And it draws her in. Makes perfect sense.

Upward curve is H.O.T. and hits just the right spot - those girls weren't lying to you. Downward curve though? Er... all I gotta say is it's a good thing dude is gay and all the gay guys seem to be into it. Because the gonzo dick thing doesn't play as well with the ladies.

Fucking hilarious and spot on! Immature college girls represent ALL women. That really is priceless.
Just shows you really can make a study "prove" anything you want, if you set it up the right way.

A Harsh Word About Malawi's Economic "Miracle".

Because rich white people like to move to places like Africa and drive around in shiny land rovers on dirt roads and feel all adventurous & important. They're nobody at home, but they're *heroes* and saviors if they go to Africa and dole out cash and faux "help" to the "poor" poor people. They mostly do it for selfish reasons. Fact is, international aid is so prevalent because it benefits the rich whiteys most of all. Have a look closer at the situation and you'll see I'm right. Bono has his head up his ass.
