    Don't worry about whether you caused offence, you didn't mean it, we know. What I would advise is striving to understand the other position(s) on the subject, you can say whatever the hell you want if you can back it up, and by the time you can I suspect you would say different.

    I listen to points of views of people ,I don't just think I'm right all the time , I take into consideration others views especially on touchy subjects .
    I understood the issue with pathologisation , I was just trying to get others to see my view aswell , didn't mean to sound condescending or the like

    Platinum your contributions added something to the thread. Silly pictures and videos just didn't.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Ahahahaha. That is brilliant. This reminds me of when the Inbetweeners drove across Britain for Comic Relief stopping at places with dirty names. I wonder how many places with 'gay' names there are in Ireland.

    Links I do hope there is no bad feeling between us . I wasnt meaning to offend you or anyone else in any way

    hey, sorry I didn't reply to this sooner.
    I can't say that I wasn't annoyed by your comments, because I was a bit, and I find the implication that trans people should stand apart from the rest of the community somewhat insulting because many of our goals are the same, marriage equality etc. but that doesn't mean I have any bad feelings towards you, and I think it's a discussion we should have again some time.
