K, so I guess a little description of myself should come first, since this is my first post here.
So, I'm Chris, 20, male, straight, currently living in France, but I'm not french, I've had my fair share of shitty moments in my life, altho a lot less than a great deal of people, and I'm actually happy a lot of crap happened to me, because as they say, crap forges character, or whatever, I forgot.
I never watch TV, since I consider it to be shit and in the past 7 years, I've only wrote like 50 messages on a forum, all in about a month's time, since Internet has changed, it is now 99% populated by idiots, pre-teens and whatnot.
Also, I'd like to apologize in advance, I rarely get a chance to practice my english, especially in France, so I might make pretty nasty mistakes (you're welcome to correct them if you notice them).
Seeing some of the stuff on this thread, it just confirms the fact that most people are dumb as hell, of course, no offense intended, we're all just human, with parents and teachers that are all human, and therefore, incompetence is inevitable more often than not, but sometimes, it's just not an excuse.
Society has reached a point where people are dumbed down every waking moments of their lives, don't get me wrong, people are great, magnificent creatures, especially individually, but when faced with such bullshit (I hope I don't get banned for my "vulgarity") as "reality shows", "romantic comedies", and every other modern means of entertainment, since birth (such as dolls and action figures) and a life style where most of our needs are already covered, eighter by society or by parents, we don't FEEL the need for more, even less for any mental development, it's the NEED that makes the brain work, or most of us will let it rot.
Stupidity is what's got us here. Actually, it's not even stupidity, since I'm totally against classifying people as "smart" and "stupid", there is no such thing as intelligence, only WILL to use one's brain and not let it completely rot.
If people would use their brains for anything more than basic life support, there wouldn't be so many problems in the world, especially not war and hate.
Now to the topic, to be honest, as far as I know, I've never even seen a transgender, transexual, cisexual, cisgender, tranny, crossdressers or whatever (actually, I don't even know what "cisgender" is all about), tho I have a lot of les/gay/bi friends, some of them got raped/beaten for "what" they are. On the other side, I've NEVER had ANY prejudice against LGBTs, ever, and it's something I take pride in. Well, I often make "sexist" and lesbian jokes, cuz hey, lesbian action IS hot, and women, well ... they're women

.
Tho, I do know how it is to ask yourself questions, about a lot of stuff (I often ponder on society as a whole). And I've got to ask myself this: what does it matter that Mr. X loves sucking dicks or that Ms. Y loves licking bushes or that Z was a guy/girl/monkey/single-cell organism? We're all still human beings.
As far as stereotypes go, I'm half-male-stereotype, half-woman if you will.
I love making sexist jokes, I love getting higher than a kite, I hate watching sports, for it's useless, I'd be better off playing them, at least that way, I'll get buffer, I don't fuck, I make love, so that makes me something in-between, I guess, even tho a lot of people consider me a fine example of pure male, since I talk like one, I shave/cut my hair whenever I feel like it, since I don't give a crap about how I look, even when going out or when I'm interested in a woman, I very much enjoy burping (even in front of hordes of people), everyone knows when I'm taking a dump or when I go take a piss...
What I mean is, why would we be grossed out and why would we hate something we've been so fortunate to never experience? Sure, I'd hate my girlfriend turning out to be a transexual (I usually employ the term "tranny", since I'm not into the whole "gay is bad but homosexual is good" trend, because basically, they're just another word to describe the same thing), but that would be for a whole bunch of other reasons, not just because she used to have a dick.
I'd be more concerned by the fact that no matter what I'll do, she'll never be able to be fully happy, enjoy her looks and body, because as far as I know, medical science is still too primitive so that trannies can actually FEEL anything that's happening between their legs, so, naturally, I would feel useless and sorry for her at the same time, I know I won't be able to change the fact that her past will forever haunt her or the fact that she might actually want babies of her own, out of her own flesh and blood, which is another thing I'd never be able to give her, and let's not forget the constant work a tranny's body needs, like hormone injections and the whole medical array that comes with the surgery.
Guys from the LGBT community have it harder than most of us, even when they fully embrace "what" they are. It's not their fault that they're different, and hell, if everyone was alike, where would the fun be in that? We'd all be stereotypes, no matter what, wouldn't we?
Besides, it's even harder for them to find a decent partner since there aren't all that many fish in the sea for them if you get what I mean.
Besides, I'm guessing that trannies have it the hardest, since in a way, they'll always consider themselves partially "damaged", because they can't have their own naturally-born kids, and I know for a fact that for a woman, even a man, not being able to provide something to your significant other that most other people could provide, isn't that great for self esteem, and from what I know about them, MtF trannies are still mentally women, even if born with dicks.
And since when loving a "transgirl" makes someone gay? She looks like a girl, acts like a girl, even smells like a girl, so where's the difference?
That said, my eyes hurt today, dunno why, so I'mma end this here. Oh and, for our kids' sake, don't let them watch TV

.
Oh, and Cerealnmuffin, I'd have some questions if you don't mind/I'm not bothering

.
Oh and kids, don't do drugs and alcohol

(unless it's weed, that one's safe, unless mixed with other stuff).
