You're a free, mature, responsible adult doing what makes you happy. No one's opinion matters about your personal life but your own. Do your thing, Drifterman.

Like I said in my opening statement, where I draw the line is where these Radical Activist shove the life style down our collective throats. Kids as young as 12 really do not have the capacity to understand, or even make a concious choice about their life, or their sexuality in general. I'm a very private person for the most part, I do not force anything on anyone. I just enjoy doing this activity because like I said, it's a great stress reliever for me.
As for the Drag Clubs, there are very few that solely cater to that life style. As for the G/L/B/T Lounges I go to (There is a Great one King Street Jax), Most of them welcome CD's in to their fold. I've met some really great people in places like that. From the Fabulously Flamboyant, t0o people to look at them you would think that atre just gpoing about their day to day lives taking care of business. One thing these people I've met all have in common, they are REAL people and are NOT judgemental. For the most part, they just want to live their lives in peace and not bother anyone and to be left alone.
I've been all over the eastern 1/3 of the country, met a lot of good people, but on the flipside, I've met a lot of phoney baloney plastic banana straight people that would judge you, act like your friend, and yet stab you in the back the 1st chance they got so...... Yeah I know there are a lot of good people out there, and quite a few of them are right here on this message board so I just try to live my life on peace and get along with everyone. I know that's not possible to do, but I try..... I do not judge anyone for any reason, I treat people with respect and the way I want to be treated but...... I know their are a few [BLEEP] out there that do not respect anyone or anything so.... I don't let people like that get to me...... I just let their smart [BLEEP] actions roll off me and go on my way.
Thank You for letting me clarify my stances and opinions on this issue. Live Long (however you want to) and Prosper!

Thankfully he didn't need to tell anyone about it and really kept it to himself unless you wanted to bring it up. He had kids and an ex-wife and now a girlfriend but was calling themselves lesbians.
No one really cared but most people also didn't approve of it. Most people will tolerate you if you don't bother them but these people want your approval, acceptance, and praise for their struggles and choices. You have to approve and accept their choice so they feel validation and praise. It's mostly physiological, they are looking for acceptance and belonging with a group when they have been told and groomed to believe they don't fit in anywhere, are different, are now white and evil, etc. Then you say just become LBGTOPRURJFJ+ and everyone will love you, you will belong in this group.

And that's the difference between Drifter and the whiners. He's not pushing an agenda and he's not doing what I highlighted above.
It's not my job to make anyone feel valid. I'm not a life coach or a stripper.

They've been saying that for as long as I've been alive. Yet, the transgender thing came out of nowhere 5 or 10 years ago, meanwhile, pedophilia and child pornography are still some of the most heinous crimes imaginable other than rape or murder, in the minds of most of the public.

I haven't followed the transgender "movement" that closely (though I believe it's more of a mental health than biological issue). Are there recognized sub-classifications for post-transition sexual preferences? Is a man-turned-woman who is attracted to men a "straight" trans, whereas attracted to females would be a "lesbian" trans?

Have you ever heard of Desmond is Amazing? If you haven't, don't Google it. I have, and I was really disturbed by it. Like you said, adults can do what adults want, but kids shouldn't be taught or encouraged to do certain things. I see Desmond and I feel bad for him. I think, there must be some adult in his life who needs to be prosecuted. Kids should not perform this way, not for other kids and not for adults. Yet nothing is done.

Well, you were right Mike; I Googled and shouldn't have. Agree with you on prosecution; sentences all around please! With no chance of parole.

I've been a male lesbian for many years now.
