Why should we not see this any other way? We are approaching a time where those who are so frustrated over their inability to come to self and acceptance that they are looking to others to feign that pain. The freaks are always selected for persecution..... Problem is that normal cannot be defined!Stellewriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09973665718883183659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-45268430550067739692008-07-08T01:04:00.000+10:002008-07-08T01:04:00.000+10:00I haven't looked at the D&D site, but...well, the ...I haven't looked at the D&D site, but...well, the reason I really became a Christian was an RPG. My dad's a pastor, I knew all the doctrine and such, but the capsule form of the reason for taking the step is that I realized my usual thief character got gold, but my paladin was more fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-2936650358265283422008-07-07T17:28:00.000+10:002008-07-07T17:28:00.000+10:00hmm, the dark dungeons was less than hilarious for...hmm, the dark dungeons was less than hilarious for me. As an ex D&D addict, I've seen some pretty brutal things done by players to other players, such as killing someone's character because of a falling out between the players. People get attached to their characters, and this can be a traumatic event.<BR/>Laugh away but it's true.<BR/><BR/>You can really mess someone up in D&D land. <BR/><BR/>Of course, I don't agree with the message contained in the cartoon, that it leads people to become evil. It's not a road to the occult or anything!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10948691309803183782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-57214666595821635412008-07-07T11:11:00.000+10:002008-07-07T11:11:00.000+10:00O.

That Dark Dungeons link is just plain <I>hilarious.</I><BR/><BR/>Zoe, I've been following links to your posts from other sites from time to time and decided this Holiday weekend (yes, I'm a Revolting Colonist) to go back and read all your posts about your amazing transition--which I've just finished doing. I'll be sending you a personal email about that in a bit but just want to say here in public, from the bottom of my heart, thanks for all you do--for being so open and honest about yourself, and for your energetic efforts on behalf of human rights and reason.<BR/><BR/>And also for the grins and giggles you throw in from time to time to lighten the mood. Just, O. M. G. :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550396719780602190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-55527244188696935552008-07-07T00:51:00.000+10:002008-07-07T00:51:00.000+10:00Sara is correct, Kafka is noted for treating cross...Sara is correct, Kafka is noted for treating crossdressers with anti-depressants (esp. selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as Celexa), and claims to have a high success rate. In reality, he's just dealing with the distress part, and making it easier to submerge identities again, and live in denial.<BR/><BR/>I've seen a number of others make this (Opus Dei) assumption too. Things like this are making it difficult to work too closely with the more energetic of advocates, as you might also be seeing. It's sometimes too tempting in the rush to get the information out to run with these things before being certain, kind of like the Accord Alliance pledge to the LWPES Consensus Statement, where the older surgery-advocating one is being referred to mistakenly. I've botched it on a couple of news items recently myself. Just means we have to be more careful and diligent in who we listen to. :)<BR/><BR/>Take care. I respect your work.Mercedeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070237425179174793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-5348462370948260342008-07-06T06:30:00.000+10:002008-07-06T06:30:00.000+10:00Isn't it enough that society thinks that people li...Isn't it enough that society thinks that people like this are qualified to make judgement upon us? The fact that those who are our judges dislike us so much from the beginning is enough to give me yet another region to turn to my shrink for help.<BR/><BR/>I don't need help with being a transsexual woman, I need help accepting that people like this are allowed to be so openly against what I need to do to survive.<BR/><BR/>Were this not a public forum, I'd be using words which are not at all ladylike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-63441108939626851182008-07-06T02:11:00.000+10:002008-07-06T02:11:00.000+10:00Back in 2000 anyway, Kafka treated and studied par...Back in 2000 anyway, Kafka treated and studied paraphiliacs at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Mass. Paraphiliacs, as in, "disorders characterized by persistent deviant sexual arousal"<BR/><BR/>More recently he procaims himself as, "a pioneer in the diagnosis and pharmacological treatment of hypersexual disorders".<BR/><BR/>Talk about stacking the deck. A paraphiliac specialist and the creator of the term, Autogynophilia. Why, pretty soon the only people diagnosed with transsexualism will be the children, and they of course can be repaired or converted. Oh, and FtM's, but they don't fall neatly into the GID panel researchers' theories...SarasNavelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14536453202054024597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-61832003045881249672008-07-06T01:20:00.000+10:002008-07-06T01:20:00.000+10:00Kafka - how appropriate.Kafka - how appropriate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
