    In that way, my long coming out was part of my spiritual growth, and even, I think it's not too much to say-- a product of that growth. A process that is far from finished. So, no, I wouldn't want to give that up for anything. The journey is far from over.

    Of all the thought I've given to writing and rewriting the narrative, trying to understand and explain the long years in between, this brief reflection rings more true to me than anything I've come up with yet. Thank you for raising that question.
     


  2. I could probably list at least 1000 things to change about myself and still I would refuse this one


    not a freaking chance (and what is this discussion doing in Fun & Games)

    In a way, yes. It would mean I didn't have to tear apart my husband's life and my daughter would be able to have a conventional family. And maybe I could have been happy with what I have now.

    Yea, I probably would. I may like boys, but if I'm straight, I'll feel the same way, but instead for girls. So it won't make much of a difference.

    If someone had asked me this about a year or so ago, I would've said yes immediately...

    Now, I can't even imagine what my life would be like if I were straight. My sexuality is one of the few things I'm very confident in, and has helped me in many different ways. So, nope!

    No, because I'm very happy the way I was born.

    If I'm being honest, yeah. It would just make everything so much easier and I'd probably be happier.

    I would say no. I like the affection and intensity of f/f relationships far too much to want to just be straight.

    I would turn myself completely homosexual from the start till my death...I would have liked to have married and stayed that way forever and just maybe me and another woman could've done it. Damned, I just want to love a woman...Maybe, she is last in my life so that my dream will be forever come true! So, maybe, I wouldn't change a thing so that this might happen for me and my future companion.

    Coming out has changed my world view and theology. I have fought too hard to get where I am today. It's not something I would give up.

    no! I love Girls.

    Also I couldnt do such a thing to myself, it would be like denying myself and I cant do that.

    No I'm happy with who I am and I ain't gonna change that. If I was born to be straight then nothing to be worried about but the thing is I ain't straight, I was meant to be this so I must love and be contented with it though life might be too hard for us (LGBT) but if I was straight I wouldn't appreciate myself even more and how important it is not to label and discriminate other people just because of their gender, religion, age and color.


    Besides women are hot in general who wouldn't love it?. :wink:
     
  16. No. Before I met a certain guy, I’d have said yes. I’d rather have been straight than bi. Now? No way. Never. The love I feel for him is something that comes once in a lifetime, if you’re lucky – very lucky. I woudn’t give it up for anything in the world.

    I kind of consider myself "More or less straight". Would I turn myself not transgender? No probably not.

    Why would I do that? 0.0

    If I wasn't bi, than I wouldn't have ended up who I am. As a result the straight me wouldn't be me at all.

    Nope. For two reasons. First, I wouldn't gain anything that I couldn't gain by staying in the closet and in denial. I'm bi, so it's easier to pass for straight. Second, leaving the lgbt community just wouldn't be any fun. Straights are boring in comparison, no offense.
