I don't understand this post of yours -- why is it becoming "more common" is it something in our food or water that is screwing people up? How does OP even know they are transgedered? Are they like half and half, down the middle or like the bearded lady; what do you mean? You make it sound as if OP has a problem or is insinuating that he is committing a crime. The way I see that is if it wasn't a "thing" previously, why is it increasing in exposition? And, if it wasn't prevalent previously why shouldn't OP / or me be allowed to rightfully be shocked or at least curious at what we are looking at? I am not down with your depiction of political correctness and imagine a day when the truth about pc will come out as well to prove neither was it political or correct but the removal of our rights, while giving same to another and likely wrongly. We had some cross dressers back in the day, that wondered the streets at 2AM when the bars closed to find drunks and sometimes cut their throats but I don't think I have otherwise ever seen a a transsexual in real life. Hopefully, they have succeeded in shaving their beard or growing one or stylized themselves towards one gender or another. It is unfair to suggest that OP would be off base if he sees something anomalous to him or offends his senses. It is equally unfair to suggest the he pull the chair for a guy who is wearing a dress on a date if he is a waiter, I'd likely drop my plates in astonishment. I've seen some beautiful boys that look like girls, and some girls tat looked like they could have been boys just as easily but I think you are referring to some other expression of perceived sexuality that maybe in all actuality and in all fairness the expression of someone's pervesions or mental health crisis. If they aren't generically anomalous or nominally they aren't transgedered they are cross dressing either good or bad ones -- how would they then know if they had succeeded in costuming if one did not make note of the better or worse of them. No one should be required to mask their sincerity of emotion at seeing something gravely unnatural. If I had no jaw, I'd wear such a covering as to preclude seeing that I had no jaw -- the drape of a handkerchief or something. If I had something so severe as to draw attention I'd seek to minimalist its public exposure and my own and. I have before -- I had my head in splints with screws for and aft that looked ghastly and I recall the looks I got, so I spent a lot of time at home and rarely went out. It wasn't such a terrible burden and I had friends and sex and went out to dinner with a broken neck bit I got looks and initially it'd be uncomfortable but like cold water swimming I got used to it. I honestly don't imagine that persons who know they appear freakish should expect to be taken as not freakish (for many that is the attraction to being freaky, goth etc). Nowhere do I insinuate that op should throw rocks or race and get a stick to beat them with as in the good old days. "Get a stick and I'll kill it!" You individuals with your great code of tolerance and acceptance are ruining the world just as quickly or quicker than those intolerant in the 60's.
