With the same two eyes I look at everyone else. Although if they have a fabulous set of legs in black fishnets then ... well ... But that's just kinky lil old me.

I think the beauty is in the eyes and the person..If a straight guy or girl was stunningly beautiful , but was loud and rude I would look at them as a pain in the ass.. If a persons nature is natural and warm then it does not matter what they have between their legs ..

With some amazing men and women who were born with the wrong parts. Yesterday was the Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day to pay tribute to those transgender men and women who died as a result of discrimination, transphobia and hate. An important day, that will hopefully raise more awareness about the high rate of suicide among transgender people due to the discrimination they face. "... research suggests that transgender people have suicide rates of at least 14 times higher than other Australians and many transgender people continue to experience discrimination in employment, health care, housing and other aspects of daily life." Source: http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/australian-heath-alliance-urges-remembrance-suicide-victims-transgender-day-remembrance15111 But really, who new the Day of Remembrance was yesterday until I mentioned it? Did anyone come across it on tv or the internet? We still need to learn so much. Mostly to accept.

Quoting 'I_N_D_A_G_I_N_E'Cos they're absolutely stunning as Ladies and generally as Blokes if that's their preference. - Posted from rhpmobile But it's not a preference. A transgender woman was always a woman, not a man who wanted to become one. A quote I totally stole: A transgender woman is not a man with a mental problem, but a woman with a physical one.

Its still legal in WA to discriminate on gender identity. You can be sacked from a job because you are transgendered. Federally its illegal. Luckily you can bring employers before the Human Rights Commission. Transgendered people are just people. They don't ask for a life of being stared at and ridiculed. I have the utmost respect for people who embrace their inner selves and live the life they want. This goes for anyone. Life is too short not to live it how you want to. :)

I haven't had the opportunity to get to know any transgender people in person, but liked Gay Marriage Rights Australia (in actuality representing the LGBTIQ population despite their name) on Facebook, and received their prolific postings on my wall for months which really clued me in on a lot of things I was unaware of previously, like the often referred to confusion with correlations of gender identity/fluidity and sexual orientation/fluidity here on RHP. You might realise from my posts that I am interested in people's interior experiences of life, human diversity, and inspired by people's humanity, boldness, vulnerabilities, and strengths. The first time I saw a transgender woman was on a pub crawl down Oxford St, Sydney as a teen. (I didn't even know it was the street for the sexually liberated and diverse until later when I walked into a bar full of hairy chested men wearing black leather and sporting handlebar moustaches). This blonde bombshell of a woman was sitting by a piano on a stool by herself sipping her drink, her shoulders broader than a front row footballer, but looking quite the part. I wanted to go up to her & tell her she was beautiful, just as a human to human compliment, but thought it would be patronising, so left it. Probably a good thing, as Im sure I was still too young & innocent to pull off a normal human to human conversation with her rather than being fixated on the fact that she was a transgender woman, which I had never seen before. The point being its not what she is, its about who she is. Anyway, this is something I wrote for another thread, but worth reposting..... I found the movie "Transamerica" to be a sensitive & heartfelt illustration of the life of a transgender woman, with wonderful insight into the humanity of its main character & her dignity. If anyone is interested in widening their perspectives, I highly recommend it. Nice post BigMamma1, that Upworthy clip is worth watching too.

How is that even legal EBliss? What possible reason could someone give for firing someone just because they are transgendered..... Apart from their own prejudice. God that is shithouse!! grrrr Why do employers even have to know?? None of their business.

Directors of the company that know. When you have a transphobic boss your in trouble. Hese homophobic as well. Why do I out myself like this. Cause it just isn't fair. I do my job well. My gender doesn't matter but according to the law discrimination has its limits. I could take them on other issues with regards to sex discrimination. But yes, Im dealing with a boys club. Recently a guy kicked a guy in the nuts and got a written warning. Mees has an aTTITUDE PROBLEM AND GETS A WRITTEN WARNING. Shruggs shoulders

I applied for the jobs Meeks and got it on my own merits. Im good at what I do. Unfortunetely I found out they are all inbreds. People had to keep gossiping about me cause I used to be married to their niece. I hold my head up high and say well. I do a damn fine job. If only they saw the tears. Crying when I don't wont to. Im stronger than that. But Im not. Mees as fragile as everyone when confronted with the stress of my job.

That was one of the reasons I posted this on the forum. By the way this is including all posted so far. I used to work with troubled teenagers and the percentage that left home due to being unacceptable in their parents, friends or families eyes (not only referring to transgenders). I have always believed that it is our perceptions that need to be 'adjusted' not theirs. We are a society that sometimes without realising it passes on beliefs to our children and society in general and it is time for us to take onus of what information we pass on. When taking care of a special needs child, my son was scared of him and would not interact with us. I spent time with my son and took the time to explain that all people can look different, however, I believe that if you look into a persons eyes, you can see the beauty from within. To my sons credit, he held Jackson's (name change) hands and looked into his eyes, then turned to me and said, 'he loves me'. I TRUELY believe this of all persons and I have to say again. People do not need to change to accommodate us..... We need to change to be accepting of all. Sorry about the ramble, I feel very strongly about this!

I'm horrified, how or even why do they have the need to do this. I can only believe that the more we talk, approach and defend against this type of 'abuse' the less tolerant our society will be . But that doesn't help you now, only believe and remember that you have people who believe in who you are and what you do and achieve and yes 'I am one of them' :).

People say to me, " of course I am ok with it but I am worried what everyone else will say" That's a lie. They are not ok with it but don't have the guts to say so to your face. They hide behind the disguise of society, everyone one else. Those who openly discriminate do so with a disgust bordering on hate. But thankfully there are many others who do not have an issue and are supportive, even though many are ok because in reality it's not their problem. Respect is absent, even from family and friends. Ask any TS how often they are asked intrusive questions about their sex life or sexual orientation, from family or friends. Would you ask your best friend is she liked it in the ****? It's why, if your lucky, you live in stealth.

I'm like most here :) they are people like you and I and Deserve the same respect as anyone :)) In saying the above I'd also add they are very confidant people I'm living there lives as they want so I take my hat off to them :)) I'm working In the trucking game at the mo and the fitter at work is in fact a transgender :) I treat her as she treats me happy :)) However in this industry I'd call her very brave to live the life of a female in a male dominated work force :)) she has the respect of most man there (about 85 guys)

They are human..... As the old saying goes, if you treat me nice and respect me, I will treat you nice and respect you. I dont care if you are white, black, indian, gay, straight, bi, transgender, transvestite, religious, atheist, rich, poor, have a fancy house and drive a fancy car, tall, short, skinny, fat, fit or lazy..... if you are nice to me, i am nice to you...... I come across people of all walks of life everyday.... We are all just trying to life as happy a life as we can...

When we see people as people, first and foremost, and show positive human regard to everyone. Wouldn't it be awesome if we didn't need to have conversations like this because the whole human race had learned to be respectful of everyone and tolerant of difference. Of course I am a dreamer and will remain one thank you. My attitude is if you are a decent human being, you are welcome at my fire.

Of my beliefs and Christiets I would be vocal about it and be proud to have a friend, (size, race, colour, looks and all that) who is honest and true, for that is all that counts. I have taught my family to stand up for what they believe in, I don't tolerate snide jokes, hate when people say "it's just a joke" and my answer to them, a joke told to others is giving them permission to talk down about that point in society, so no it's not 'just' a joke. My daughter when she was 13 was infatuated with a boy at school and was sitting with him one day when he saw an African American girl and made a derogatory comment. My daughter stood up and apologised to this young girl, not for what the boy said but for being with a boy who could think that way, then turned to this boy and said I don't need your type in my life and walked away. When she told me this I was so proud of her. I shared that because it is our work as not only parents, but of friends, family etc to always work towards improving our world

Yeah yeah everyone is going to have the PC answer to this but try being the ex wife of one that lied to her 3 before her and 1 after whilst fathering my son ....that's not a wonderful caring person that's a selfish liar who knew each time they got into a new relationship and made a new child what they were ... Ok ok u say they didn't know ... They did! And lived secret as this .... Ask my son how he copes with this beautiful person.... All he/ she cares about is her feigns and rights ... What about the mess this person has left .... So in conclusion if the transgender person lives in a way that understands others feelings as well as her own I say more power to them ! This is not a gender issue this is how u handle ur gender issue .... I am left to explain to my son that his father why and how this parent handles their life is no reception on him .... Someone explain to me how any parents selfishness is ever ok when it incites damage in their children ? - Posted from rhpmobile

Pink helmet, your absolutely right, being transsexual ( not transgendered) does not qualify you to be a great human being. I have seem both sides being absolute ***** to their partners, with children often in the middle. It cuts both ways, it's never black and white, only to those who have never been there. Many women feel betrayed because they feel they have a right to know, but many women who do know believe they should come first in any consideration. I can only comment about ts, many believe they can cope with the burden and thousands do have great relationships and great families. Unfortunately many also don't. The answer? It doesn't matter if you are TG, ts, a husband or wife, if you treat people with respect then generally you get it back. Sadly like the rest of humanity, there are people who treat others badly, it doesn't matter about the labels, a crappy person is a crappy person.

I hate to see those who believe they can wipe the slate clean and start life again as a woman. What rubbish. You are the sum total of your life to that point in time. You are who you are and changing a name will never change who you are. It is the fundamental difference between sexual orientation and identity. It's not who I want it's who I am. It's the difference between fetish and who you are. Transgender? Scrap the word because it's used in the wrong context against the wrong people. The basket of labels that society doesn't understand. The too hard basket.
