I am just soooooooo confused.

Why should a lesbian couple break up if the one that is "butch" or appears "butch" actually goes ahead and has surgery to make her transition to a him complete?

I find myself wondering, "Is the lesbian one that looks and acts "butch" then really a lesbian?"

I know that a baby's sex is something that happens at conception - a baby is either physically male or female. I also know that sometimes on a gentic and chromosomal level what makes an individual person a male or a female can get really screwed up. Even on the physical biological level sometimes a baby's outward appearance as a boy or a girl can not be fully developed.

Being a human being is complicated enough for me. I can't imagine an individual's trauma and turmoil if that person feels betrayed by their own body's outward appearance.

I know that being either a man or a woman is way more complicated than just how someone looks; it's woven into how an individual human being, either a man or a woman, actually thinks. HOW DO I KNOW THIS? I LIVE WITH A MAN.

I'm not trying to make fun, or make light of the issue between an individual being gay, a lesbian, or whatever. I've had ocassion to consider if I could even remotely be attracted to another female sexually. NOPE... not for me. For a while, a good long while some years back, I swore off of men - all men really are dogs. Some are better bred or trained (I guess you could say some men have a better pedigree than others), but basically all men are still dogs (There will always be mutts...).

God did not give me a third choice!

If you're a guy and you're reading this... don't go getting all defensive about being a dog... you can't help it.

I use to say a guy being a dog was gentic... but after reading the New York Times article... I'm just not sure anymore?
