    What's one thing you never understood in school?

    Adding? Easy as pie. Subtraction? Same. Division and multiplication? If you give me a couple of secs. Anything beyond that won't stick with me. I swear, Math was compulsory for 6 years in highschool and every year my teacher had to explain the basics to me again, because for some reason it...

    Poll: Would you date a transgendered person?

    Sure I would date a transgendered person, of either sex/gender. I'm primarily attracted to a persons personality, not their bits. And to all people failing to understand transgender issues: From the American Psychological Association± `Many experts believe that biological factors such as...

    No, neither transgender nor transsexuality is on the list of mental disorders of the DSM.

    Poll: Thought experiment: What if homosexuality COULD be "cured" medically?

    Well going by the definition of fetish it's a form of sexual desire in which gratification is linked to an abnormal degree to a particular object, item of clothing, part of the body, etc.: Neither homosexuality nor heterosexuality fits that definition. The fact that one things is the...

    Poll: Thought experiment: What if homosexuality COULD be "cured" medically?

    Only in the sense that it irks me when people compare apples and oranges, regardless of the actual things compared. And everyone is biased. As I said, I am bothered by the incongruous comparison, not the idea of deafness being the same as homosexuality itself. And there is a rational reason...

    Poll: Thought experiment: What if homosexuality COULD be "cured" medically?

    The difference is people who go through transitional surgery feel they are that other gender. Gay people are attracted to the same sex, to change that is to actually supress/deny a part of yourself. The exact opposite of what transitional surgery does. And before you say; people have a...

    Poll: Thought experiment: What if homosexuality COULD be "cured" medically?

    Baseless ad-hominem attacks do not change the medical definition nor does it hide the fact that you fail to support your claim about homosexuality being a disease or disability. Name one. Nope what I saw was someone not knowing what a mental disability is and ignoring the actual experts to...

    Double mistake. Getting a bit tired I guess. I mistook your 'notable poster' achievement for your avatar, Skin has it on the far left just like you. "My point was always that a gay person who is strictly gay can not reproduce without going against the feelings/desires or without medical...

    Poll: Thought experiment: What if homosexuality COULD be "cured" medically?

    Except the definition of disability is that it has to hinder a persons life. I fail to see how homosexuality in any way hinders a person. You're positing the baseless assertion that homosexuality is a disease or disability, you have failed to show how/why.

    Poll: Thought experiment: What if homosexuality COULD be "cured" medically?

    Irrelevant. You said they cannot naturally reproduce, which they can. You're changing your argument. You are the one claiming they cannot naturally reproduce. Sorry about the disability part I mistook you for Skin since you have the same avatar. Again my apologies for that.

    Poll: Thought experiment: What if homosexuality COULD be "cured" medically?

    You mean despite what the actual experts say about this issue? It isn't odd since being gay does not hinder a person in his life in any way. Homosexuals can reproduce (even naturally) if they wish. Reproduction is not required to survive nor to be a productive member of society.

    Poll: Thought experiment: What if homosexuality COULD be "cured" medically?

    Ehm gay people can still reproduce naturally. They haven't become infertile. By your logic people who do not want children also have a disability. Not being able to reproduce is only a disability if that person wants to reproduce. Gay people can reproduce.

    Poll: Thought experiment: What if homosexuality COULD be "cured" medically?

    So tell me, is heterosexuality also a fetish? If no, how do you figure?

    Were you taught Religious Studies at school?

    From the Netherlands. Had a choice between 'Religion' and Humanism in the last two years of primary school. 'Religion' actually being an overview of the big religions: Abrahamic, Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism. My parents told me to take 'Religion', which I did. The second time (last...
