Transexuality is not a disease or a sin

How sad to still see comments like Mr Ford's in this apparently modern and enlightened age.

Such views sound woefully ignorant and deliberately insulting - do most men feel incomplete because they cannot give birth? Probably not.

Such views seem to be based on a superstitious belief that sexuality has god-given clarity - black and white - all man or all woman - which is patently ridiculous and at odds with the evidence of nature and science.

I don't know April but I suspect from what she says that she feels complete as the person she is - in the same way that plenty of women feel complete not having children and plenty of men feel complete despite not siring children.

The completeness comes from within - your state of mind and attitude to life not because of some physical plus or minus score.

Blessings for a little more understanding and a little less limited thinking.
