Born In The Wrong Body? | Forum

I knew one bloke that said he was a lesbian, so he got a full sex change and now has now been living in a long term lesbian relationship for several years. I found him attractive which says he still has a man's energy and I can't even think of him as a woman even though he now has tits and a vagina.
Another lesbian I knew, I swear was in the wrong body. She was Italian and had that strong Mafia energy. She dressed as a bloke and worked in construction and provided for her family. When I sat next to her I swear she was a bloke (whereas her girlfriend had girl energy). She smelt like and had the energy signature of a bloke, even though she didn't entirely look like one. She wanted a sex change but she couldn't afford it. Even my boyfriend looked at her as a bloke and he was a misogynist.
I actually don't mind how people choose to live out their lives, but I don't like the in-your-face bullying that a small portion of the lgbt community is engaged in - don't force your gender issues down my throat. If I can tell its a bloke, I don't want it in my fucking toilets! If I can't tell, then she is probably in the right place. 

So it is the brain that is controlling sexuality that may not match the physical gender of the body. 

It is impossible to have  brain transplant to be in the right body, so to be happy and complete in life, a transgendered person takes hormones and has surgery to change the body. 

Joshua, I have no doubt that a small percent of transgender people are emotionally damaged or mentally ill. ...But only a small percent. I guess that is why pre-ops have to endure so much counselling before undergoing any major changes.

Now, given that we all begin in our development as females, before the developmental process makes us definitively male or female; and given that intersexed people do exist -- is it not at all possible that though the body develops as one, the brain develops to lean more toward the other?

As for being born in the wrong body, sure, many might associate their gender identity as such, but many of these people are "spiritual" people. Those who do not believe in such nonsense might even describe their gender as such just to give people an idea of what it is like... something so that those who would never understand, might have a basic understanding of it.

I never said it's not an actual feeling. I said that people who feel or proclaim to have been born into the wrong body are spiritual people, meaning, possess some sort of spiritual belief including, but not limited to, belief in a [traditional] soul. Of course by soul I am referring to the commonly accepted thought that the soul is an ethereal copy of the physical human body.

Children are often brought up to believe in such a soul, so it is not a surprise that trans children would also feel they were born into the wrong body.

Atheistic people who do not accept the traditional version of the soul are not likely to state they were born into the wrong body because it would be a silly affirmation coming from someone who does not believe in the soul.
