[Dakmar]

I guess I neglected to mention it, but I'm about 6'1", 240 lbs. That may be a problem, but since I think I'm just a welterweight born into a heavy set mans body, I suppose we can correct that with taxpayer funded surgery as well.

[EODGUY]

Point well taken, Dak. We may have a lift problem, but hey, have you ever seen a 747? Who would believe that baby could fly?

I don't know if taxpayer funded surgery is the answer, but what do you think of declaring yourself a protected species, requiring taxpayer funded grants for R and D, equipment, office space etc. to enable us to determine how we can ensure you are preserved?

I'd say we could convince some tree hugging schmuck in Washington to fund us for a few decades.

What do ya say compadre, are we the next Orville and Wilbur or what???

[Dakmar]

Naw, I ain't filling out all that paperwork. If the Transies get their sex-o-change-o jobs done on the public dime (in SF,CA, anyway), I don't see why I should have to contribute to my own betterment. It's those lousy doctors, after all, that are telling me I should lose weight, it's not my idea.

[Paul C. Jesup]

I did not get my information from a study, but from 'trial and error' medical accounts dealing with a person's personality/deep-intergraded-instinct conflict with their physical gender.

"but hey, have you ever seen a 747? Who would believe that baby could fly?"

I'm surprised this whaleatious monstrocity ever got airborn:

"It's those lousy doctors, after all, that are telling me I should lose weight, it's not my idea."

I can feel the pain and suffering in your typed word. These doctors need to be sued.....yeah, I'll grab the next person I see running after an ambulance and retain him/her to represent you. And we can go after candy makers, fast food joints (although that's actually being done already) and beer brewers.........anyone who manufacturers anything that promotes weight gain.

I do, however, suggest that we settle quickly and out of court with the beer company. You know, like free beer for the rest of our lives. Plus it would make the rest of the litigation seem to go much faster.

These are merely suggestions, Dak, but I think we're onto something here that could result in the accumulation of stacks of dead presidents.

[lsee]

...so that they don't have to face co-workers in the restroom

Ah...ahem! Things sure have changed since I was in the workplace...and not for the better, it appears.

[EODGUY]

Obviously there was no drug testing program in effect at the company where this aircraft was designed.

[Dakmar]

That plane sure ain't gonna win no air/speed records.

[EODGUY]

Great talking with you Dak, I've got to go, but I actually saw one of those aircraft last summer at the EAA Air Show in Oshkosh Wisconsin. The show is a week long and is actually one of the largest in the world.

That plane is even uglier in person.

Take care........think about that lawsuit. :)

[Dakmar]

Take Care.

"The next in line after the transgenered is the beastials and pedophiles. Wait and see."

You're right about the pedophiles -- as documented here.

[gitmo]

Well, you can't argue with anecdotal evidence.

[Dakmar]

Is "intergraded" even a real word?

[EODGUY]

Something tells me someone tossed in an extraneous consonant. :)

[Khepera]

HA!

[Paul C. Jesup]

If you were as smart as you think you are, then you would have NOT forgetten the sacasm tag.

Also, at least I look into the information, unlike you who just criticizes from the bleacher benches.

[Paul C. Jesup]

Well it is a word according to the Word 2000 program I use to proofread most of my messages with.

[ArGee]

If an impartial party read our posts on this thread, they would probably consider you being more childish.

What's an impartial party?

I don't think JMJ is being at all childish. There is a direct connection between immoral behaviors such as bestiality and acting out on gender confusion, just as there is a disconnection between those two. People who need help should be help, not condemned to their sickness. Since there are "transgendered" people who are helped by therapy, I would suggest that this is the better approach.

Of course, what passes for a therapist these days may make the entire issue problematic. Therapists need to be grounded in reality, a concept which seems to escape the APA these days.

Shalom.
