Yeah, when I go in for my yearly physical, I just ask my doctor to remove a few fingers and a leg or my ear, just for shiggles. It's quite routine to have a list of parts of your body you want cut off. By all means, do that and lose hearing ability and ability to walk. I'm not stopping you. "why mutilate your body so much?" Because I don't want those parts. It feels and looks weird to me, and I don't want steroids pumping in my body either. Ask the same question to other transgenders. But...that's a LOT of pain and medication and infection risk over a small piece of skin that no one else sees. It's not even to make your body match the gender you want to be--it's just removing everything. Of course, I say this as a lover of genitals, so I may be a bit biased.

Please stop abusing steroids, you need them to live. Not as much as I have now. By all means, do that and lose hearing ability and ability to walk. I'm not stopping you.

Having gone through several operations and medications already for a boatload of other reasons, I think I'll be ready. And it is matching the gender I want to be. None.

You would think with the high population of trans people here people would understand that gender is not a simple matter of black and white or even a "linear scale". But of course people can surprise ya.

Having gone through several operations Apparently one of them was a lobotomy.

I have talked with other transgenders and they usually have these surgeries to correct something that is in their opinion, fundamentally wrong with them. You seem to have just given up and don't want to be anything.
Ironbite-while admirable, I just don't get it and probably never will.

Actually there are some cases of not wanting to be any gender at all. Though changing one's body so drastically that you might as well be considered a Namekian is not really documented.

But Namekians can do other cool stuff like regenerating limbs and fusing together and.....um.......being green? And then there are those weird antenna things that don't appear to really have any use.... In other news, I've finally acknowledged that I'm transsexual, so I guess I'm part of the LGBT community now. Do I get a welcome party?

Well, if you are talking about the specific question of whether or not I am transsexual, then actually only about a couple of months. I've had various gender-related issues all of my life though, so once I asked myself the question I was able to get to the truth in a relatively short amount of time. I have to say, I feel better now than I have in years. ;D It turns out that years of repression, shame, self-denial, etc. aren't very good for your overall mental state.
