Well, I heard some people talk about it, and decided to bring it into the forums. Well, I think that becoming transgender is just not right. God gives you one body it is just not right to change your gender. What do you people think?
If how the present them self is how they want to be treated then fine. I guess I don't really understand the point of the question.
I believe neither I nor Zophia asked how you would treat the person, but rather how you would think of the person. The purpose of the question, MageGrayWolf, is to find out if you merely tolerate transsexuals or accept them.

My acceptance of someone is based more on the way a person behaves then what they have done to there body.

OK. This is happening too often. Their is possessive. There is a place.
Transsexuality is not merely something done with the body. It is a mental thing, and it affects behavior. Is that behavior you except, or behavior you merely tolerate? Do you believe a person's true gender is always the one they're born with? I'm not just asking MageGrayWolf. I'm asking everyone.

No, I don't, mainly for the fact that my school is chock full of people like that, imagine my surprise when, after a few weeks of being empty, the guy in the seat next to me was replaced by a girl who decided to pick up our most recent conversation as if nothing had happened. I'm surprised she was even allowed to return to school, I thought the Texas Board of Education was too screwed up for that.

If they were a nice person of course I could accept them.

Well as I stated in the topic of homosexuality.
Well the hormones are enough to cause the person to effect there brain determining there sexual orientation but not enough to effect the rest of there physical development. So you end up with someone with a sexual preference to the gender they themselves are. So I suppose what transsexuals say "feeling like there a man/woman trapped in the opposites body" might not be to far from the truth.
The structure of their brain is like one sex and the structure of their body is like the other.
Transsexuality is not merely something done with the body.
And while we're at that: Not all transgendered ones go to the point of altering their body.

(Guessing you meant 'accept', not except.) Tolerance and acceptance are two degrees of the same thing, imo. Tolerance just indicates you'd rather not have to accept it, but you still kinda do... I dunno. I don't have a problem with their decisions unless they're being jerks in the "you are treating me badly because I am different D8" drama style.
Do you believe a person's true gender is always the one they're born with?
I believe a person's physical gender will always (or at least until operated) be the one they're born with. If they perceive themselves as a different sex than what their body is, and find their self perception important enough to rearrange their body, they can alter that.
I'm not entirely sure how "true gender" can be defined, though.
Born as and think of themselves as. If they truly believe they're male/female, then they're not really acting, are they?
true gender
I don't think there's really a "true gender". Some men cook. Some women don't. Some men don't play sports. Some women do. Some women can beat the crap out of some men. It all depends on the person, really.
And then you have to take into account hermaphrodites. Or whatever the correct term is. Gender just isn't black and white, in terms of both the mind and the body.
