Who are you talking to?

Homosexuality is separate from transgender. And if my son felt that way I should hope I would raise him to decide things for himself before getting married.

For me gender change is similar to being ashamed of who you are... like Michael Jackson wanting to be white, or racists who hate their ethnic background...
Why would guys be ashamed of being guys or girls ashamed of being girls?

The transgender (as opposed to crossdressing) people I've known were not ashamed of anything. They just felt that their inner gender was different from what their body showed. And their personality was definitely masculine even though their bodies were feminine.

I find it bizarre that people are weirded out by this. But then I guess we are conditioned from childhood to separate boys and girls quite firmly.
