What I always found odd is how many transgendered 'women' then decide they are 'lesbians' when the reality is they are just dudes with their junk cut off.
There is now emerging a whole other group of body dismorphics who want the right to have their legs or arms removed as this will 'complete them'.

I have long been of the opinion that these are all just sad unhappy people looking for somethinhg to blame or take control of to explain their sadness.
I wouldn't stop anyone from cutting their junk off but I do not believe for a moment they are women trapped in a mans body any more than anorexics are just dieting.
This really just shows how little you really understand about what happens during sexual reassignment surgery.

Maybe you should look at the difference between Vaginoplasty (contains a NSFW image elsewhere on page) and Emasculation to help explain how these things are not the same.

The fact that many women remain attracted to women after they have surgery is irrelevant.

You might think it is an excuse or they are looking for something to blame for being sad, but this isn't like you can go to your doctor and schedule a sex change for next Thursday. This is a long procedure where you need to be examined and meet all these stringent psychological criteria to even get an interview with the doctor who will consider if you can even book an appointment for the surgery. The fact that most people with Gender Identity Disorder are depressed might have something to do with the fact that they are confused their whole lives about who they are and when they realize who they are they are often persecuted to the utmost degree by many facets of society.

I know you can't understand what these people go through, and I don't blame you because I can't even imagine what it would be like to not understand at a young age why everyone else was so different than you, because no one can until they have gone through it.
