Originally posted by Adam_PoEI don't have a tribe, though. I don't have allegiance to anyone here, and I don't think anyone I'm friendly with here would care if I did decide to fully transition.
As opposed to you, who is only against her tribe when it comes to transphobia. And even then, she cannot even muster up a condemnation of them. Full-throated disdain for micro-agressions from the left, but nary a peep about bald transphobia from the right. That is because she is indoctrinated by Jesus and Jordan Peterson, and is too afraid to transition, because it will make her a degenerate to her tribe.
I have commented on centre and right-leaning posters here when I think they're being transphobic or otherwise bigoted, even just recently. Nobody on the left does that for people they see as their allies, because you are all hypocrites who only 'fight for good' when it serves your own interests.
(And, besides the point, I am heavily considering HRT atm. That decision was never influenced by Peterson or 'Jesus', it was my own that I am now challenging after coming out publicly.)

That blows your entire "potential" argument out of the water. Every sperm and every egg has the same exact potential. If you prevent the process from even starting, by your reasoning, it would be just as bad as stopping it once it has started. Masturbation and birth control would be just as bad morally under your system.
Originally posted by dadudemon^ This, basically.
No, every viable zygote, in the uterus of a healthy-enough woman, has that potential.
You know when you masturbate that it's not going to create another human. When going on birth control, the entire point is to avoid creating an abortion situation.
Nowhere near the same as prematurely ending the potential of life for a new individual that exists once man and woman have joined, for no good reason.
That being said, I do not judge those who choose to have abortions, as that is not my place to do so. I know people who chose abortion for various reasons and I do not see them any different as friends or people.
Originally posted by ScribbleOkay, so far, people have stated mostly facts, but I'm going to ask a personal question.

You understand it's not life until conception, implying abortion is murder, yet, if you complete transition, you'd probably never create life. Almost like a huge circumcision/castration. Yet, you respect people's right to abortion (which you will never have anyway.) So my question here is this: If you want to end your potential of creating children for the rest of your life, then why would you be against other people ending one life for circumstantial reasons?
I think you figured that out half way through your post. haermm

No creatures have had their potential snuffed out in that process, other than in a highly metaphorical sense, which is not anything tangible.

Also, in my specific case, I'll likely get my sperm frozen before receiving hormone therapy, just in case I do ever want to have children with someone. But I realised long ago that my chances of being in a long-term relationship that is healthy enough where having a kid is a viable option are very low, and that was before any thoughts of any form of transition, so it's the same for me either way, really.
TL;DR, ending your own potential of having kids is, again, nowhere near the same as ending the potential life of an already-conceived being.

North India, timetable, Mongolian, Arabian, sri lankan, all eat goat.

Originally posted by BlakemoreIt depends, india is big. In Kerala my fave part in the south west they are Christian and eat everything, all meat is big down there as is fish, both sea and freshwater as Kerala has both the sea and water ways. A beautiful and very cheap place. My travel rating for it is: Top notch!

Originally posted by Old Man Whirly!One day I hope to go to that area of the world. Not sure if I'd wash the elephants but it's apparently popular.

That’s good, it should be a personal decision, I hope you figure out whichever path is best suited for you.

What movie is that? Luke Wilson looks about 23.Jamaicans do good goat as well and I think parts of east Africa.
Idiocracy
It basically predicts exactly where the entire modern world is going. All the uneducated and poor are making babies. The educated and rich don't have babies because they are selfish narcissistic pricks. It perfectly captures the problems.
However, obviously, we wouldn't "naturally" select out all the normal and smart people. That would take too long. But it is a funny concept.
Originally posted by ArtolI knew a HRT person I worked with for 2 weeks. Her voice deepened and her boobs shrunk. I saw another in a nightclub in Liverpool who had a tash and all the ones I've seen looked like a big O. As I've always said though, your body your choice.
