I am not saying this because I have friends who are in the LGBT community but I just think that they deserve support than anything.</p> <p>They are not showing problems with how we could stay straight so there should be a common ground for both parties to work with. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/homosexual-vs-transgender#post-276498 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 16:07:09 +0000 Astronomeradam 276498@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>The only people I know with thoughts about this at all essentially want LGBT people completely eradicated from the planet. I have thoughts about THAT, but regarding any particular gender thing, I don&#39;t honestly care. If a person is harming nobody then I&#39;m not even sure that I ought to have an opinion on their gender. Personally I wish things like that were not apparent in a persons appearance or demeanour as I can&#39;t see why it matters, but since we can then I hope the world changes and becomes more accepting of all sorts. I have come across the most terrible rhetoric regarding LGBT people, including suggestions they should be &#39;cured&#39;, killed, mentally conditioned, denied simple routs and freedoms etc. It seems they are fair game for the press, especially hateful little creatures like Melanie Phillips et al. I cannot see why people should be so threatened by their existence really. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/homosexual-vs-transgender#post-275065 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 15:09:22 +0000 amyl_nitrate 275065@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>You might want to post some more specific questions to get the ball rolling. Maybe General Musings would&#39;ve been a better pace for this thread, this board is not particularly active.</p> <p>Personally I don&#39;t have any issues with being transgender. I believe in being open minded about things. I know it&#39;s a hot issue in feminist and LGBTQI communities. I tend to get annoyed by feminist events and/or activities that state only &quot;self-defining women&quot; are allowed to attend and take part. I don&#39;t like women only events, societies etc as it is. I think it is really important in the coming years for the feminist movement to get more men on board rather than excluding them. I really hate it when people use arguments that excluding men is ok because now they get to know what it feels like to be opressed is so petty and childish. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_mad.gif&quot; title=&quot;:x&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; It&#39;s on the level of a child saying &quot;she hit me so I hit her back&quot;.</p> <p>Ok I&#39;ll stop now, I&#39;ve gone off on a weird tangent here. Sorry. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_redface.gif&quot; title=&quot;:oops:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/homosexual-vs-transgender#post-259483 Fri, 31 Dec 2010 05:43:44 +0000 Snickers 259483@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Hello again &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> <p>Didn&#39;t know where to post this topic either.
