Question

Lulz. Does Eos have a magical understanding of sexuality denied to others?

I do personally know, have worked with, been friends with, and still talk to more transgender individuals than most people, so compared to the average person who knows none, or isn't aware they know even one, I am a better resource regarding the subject.

Wait, what?! Chaz bono has a fucking BEARD. How is he pre-op!? Does he drink bull semen every hour, on the hour?

A prescription for the appropriate gender hormones is one of the first steps of transitioning. You're generally expected to live at least a year as the gender you want to be, before you go through the surgery, to give you time to fully accept it and commit to it.

Bottom line is encounter is only lesbian if both of you think of each other and yourselves as female. Gender identity isn't always about the 'now'.

or longer;

Encyclopedia Britannica

gender identity

an individual's self-conception as being male or female, as distinguished from actual biological sex. For most persons, gender identity and biological characteristics are the same. There are, however, circumstances in which an individual experiences little or no connection between sex and gender; in transsexualism, for example, biological sexual characteristics are distinct and unambiguous, but the affected person believes that he or she is-or ought to be-of the opposite sex (see transsexualism). Gender identity is not fixed at birth; both physiologic and social factors contribute to the early establishment of a core identity, which is modified and expanded by social factors as the child matures.

No pomegranate.
State more obvious things.

-tries to use a dictionary to answer a complex question-

I fail to see how you thought any of those definitions would be remotely useful at all, especially since every single one is incomplete if not completely dated.

Okay, I'll state something more obvious (by the way do you really think I don't know what I said was obvious?)

Why are we arguing about semantics when really these words are just defined by human beings who have more power than we do?

>>>I see semantics argument, ie, definitions of words are being argued upon.

>>>I post definitions on words in question.

>>>Problem solved.

Or in another case you come barging in with a THANK YOU CAPTAIN OBVIOUS and follow up with "my definitions are useless."

Okay. Then look them up at Wikipedia. I could care less about what source I used as my point was made.

Oh silly Corn. Don't you realize a trap when a question is posed on whether two girls making out would be considered anything other than a lesbian relationship?

The thing is (to me anyway) they can still be straight because what attracted them to the transgendered individual might have been their image and not whats in their pants.

Of course if the person has to think about the image and the genitalia then i guess they are free to experiment, or their identity is up to them afterwards.
