What a gimmicky waste of time

"Are you more upset that Roy was confused, or that Roy was confused and didn't tell anyone?"

I'm upset about him not telling anyone, not for his condition (no his fault he ended up that way).

But I don't buy into that trent that such condition is genetics-biology origined (unless someone shows one day conclusive evidence, haven't done that yet).

"Evidence has shown that the brain structures of both homosexuals and people with gender dysphoria often resemble the opposite sex, leading scientists to believe that the cause is something in the womb, or genetics, not upbringing or environment outside the womb"

Yes, but evidence also shows that the brain ADAPTS itself to the use given to it, meaning if you persist on thinking like a woman (whatever reason), your brain structure will end up reshaping itself into the one of a woman.

Any doctor experienced with brain damage patients can tell you that to regain lost faculties patients have to try/practice them over and over, and when recovery is possible, the brain has ended up MODIFYING itself to overcome the damage and therefore provide the necessary connections for these lost/regained faculties.

No a different brain structure ain't the cause, but the RESULT of such behavior. Like psychopats, their brains are different but NOT because they were born that way, but because of the lifetime behavior those subjcts have endulged in, the brain has simply adapted itself.

"leading scientists to believe that the cause is something in the womb, or genetics, not upbringing or environment outside the womb"

No conclusive evidence has been given. I would go for enviroment/upbringi ng in the womb, that also counts big time.

Want my proof that genetics ain't it? A cloned cat (you can google for it, this is recent) was NOTHING like the original cat (different size, color, personality), yet both are genetically IDENTICAL.

"this is in a conservative, Midwest farm town, in the 60's and 70's. "

Again, I don't care if that's "Deep Africa" Bible Belt zone, any minister worth his position will instruct you that concealing serious stuff is no dice.

"can you really blame them for hiding until it becomes more acceptable? "

Then don't get married. If I'm poor can you understand me robbing a bank?

"I'm in no position to dispute that considering I'm not Christian and have never heard of that particular matrimonial loophole. "

It's not a loophole, it goes to the very definition of marriage (for catholics). If you DECEIVE your spouse to be, you're voiding voiding the tennant of marriage: create a community (of two at first) of love and trust. The second tennent is to be willing to have kids.

If you marry someone you don't love under the treat that otherwise you'll be murdered, or simply at gunpoint, does that make the marriage real? Of course not. Would you consider that a "loophole"?

"Irma stayed because she loved him. You don't have to be married to stay together, nor to love one another. If she wants to stay with him, that is fine, married or not"

When did I say she couldn't decide whatever she wanted? Women make stupid decisions all the time, like remaining with an abusive/violent husband. All I said is that she had every right to call it quits if she wanted to.

"And I must remind you that because their marriage is void in the eyes of the church and God, it does not mean their marriage is void in the eyes of the law. "

You gotta be KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Legally a marriage can be anulled/ended (choose your term, divorce for instance) over just about ANY excuse. Just check out Britney Spears, or the latest Hollywood divorce "I was drunk/stoned, irreconcibable differences, etc".

Lying about your sexual identity/orientatio n is right up there with concealing having STD's, been already married, etc.

Hell, mental cruelty alone will cut it for that one.

"That is something he cannot change about himself, just as he cannot change his bloodtype. It's rooted into his body, into his mind."

Not fact, suposition. Alcoholism is more rooted into one's genes (more proven at least) that tranny or gayness. Yet we demand alcoholics/drug addicts to somehow change...

"You can't blame him for hiding it either because it was the safest thing to do at the time"

Not for hiding it from the rednecks, but yes from his spouse. She's entitled to such info, whether you're embarrased or not. If you can't bring yourself to share that, then DON'T GET MARRIED.

Marriage comes with responsabilities too, you know...

"You can't blame him for telling because keeping it a secret was making him physically ill (evidenced by the faint in the beginning and the mentioned headaches) and causing strain on his marriage; revealing it was the only thing he could do"

Like I said, he made his bed by marrying in deception...

"You cannot blame him for wanting to become female physically because by brain structure and mental patterns, he is female"

Brain adapts to whatever use you put it to, as for mental patterns, well, they were formed, they can be unformed. But if he prefers to pull a Michael Jackson (even if innocent he's one sick dude, why don't people ask society instead to accept him the way he became/was born, since obviously he feels so strongly about it that he's willing to alter himself to such an extent) instead of going to the shrink, that's his problem...

"And you cannot blame him for ruining his marriage because his wife still loves him and accepts him in the end, so the marriage is only ruined to the outside world, but not to the people who matter. "

Yeah, in a Hollywood gay/tranny agenda driven film. Not that simple in real life.
