Everybody on this show is straight!

I only saw the first episide of the miniseries, but from what I saw I have a huge problem with the fact that all of the transgendered people are or are presented as being straight in their current form. Not all transgendered people are straight, sexuality and transgenderism is not that simple. It makes it seem like they were gay when they were their birth sex and they decided to be another sex because it was what they felt they were supposed to be, and maybe partially so they could be straight. I know plenty of people who are transgendered and gay.

Gabbie isn't straight.

I think she said on the update from Logo that she isn't straight. She said that she is or was involved with a couple.

This is a mini series that is pinpointing the lives of four people. This mini series is not the 'spokesperson', so to speak, for all transgenderdeds. I think you are just being too sensitive and seeing something that isn't there.

In a way I thought that was a good thing because transgendered people seem to be stereotyped as being gay a lot of the time, so this showed a different side of it.

I have a qoute for you because I myself am an MtF twenty one year old.

"We are not 'transgendered', we are transgender. Transgender is not something that was applied to us or which befell us. One is not 'gayed', 'lesbianed', 'maled' or 'femaled'; nor is one 'transgendered'"

What do have to say about this shizzle?

But Gabbie’s biggest news is that she has a boyfriend. They’ve been together for several months now and she’s enjoyed exploring her emotional growth through the relationship.

If you're really Raci, how can you have so many spelling errors and still get straight A's in college? And you type like you're 14 years old. I don't think you're Raci. I think you want to be Raci. Accept yourself, it's okay to be you, exactly as you are.
