When people ask you questions about being gay/lesbian/bi/trans do you find that annoying or amusing?

It really depends on the question and the content..here's a few of my FAVORITE examples of Q&A's I've given before (I'm a female-to-male transsexual, so people naturally have LOTS of questions for me)\n\nQ: "Have you had "the" operation"?\nA:   I'm not answering that, and why do you wanna know? Do I look like some kind of interchangeable parts Mr. Potato Head or something to you? \n\nQ: "So are you..you know.."done"?\nA: Yes..I'm a thanksgiving turkey and my little button just popped out. \n\nQ: "So do you like girls or guys"?\nA: My sexual preference is "often". \n\nQ: "So which bathroom do you use"?\nA: The one that won't lead to little old ladies screaming and hitting me with their purse.  \n\nQ: "So you're like a butch lesbian, right?"\nA: Why? Are you interested in one? If so, I got plenty of friends.  \n\nQ: "How did you get facial hair/muscles/deep voice..ect?\nA:  "I asked the trans fairy and wished upon a f***ing star, and my wish came true..no, I take hormones" \n\nSorry, I know it seems like I give smartass, sarcastic answers, and I do..but at first I used to give genuine answers, but after time, of hearing the SAME questions OVER and OVER and OVER, you wanna just make them forget all their preconceived stereotypes and THINK about what they're asking for a second. Plus, since when is it EVER ok to ask someone about what's in their pants?  To me..this just seems BEYOND rude.  You don't ask that of any other group of people, so why do people think it's ok to ask a trans person what's in their pants?

Why do you ask all these gay questions?

No.  As long as they weren't being offensive in what they said when gossiping to others about what they believed my sexuality to be.  Most of my Friends are pretty straight shooters.  We try to not gossip over much about things concerning the group.  We tend to circle the wagons.  if she or he WERE malicious in their commentary, I would be offended by the way they talked.  Not by what they said.  And no...I'm not gay.  I'm Italian and Irish.  Very passionate people.  We do alot of hugging.  Way touchy feely races of people I come from.  Could be mis-construed.  I've had a number of gay woman come on to me.  lol   I take it as compliment, but don't take them up on the offer.  :)

I'm gay and I'm not offended by the word itself. When it is used as a descriptive term for my sexual predisposition I am not bothered by it. When it is used as a derogatory insult then I am bothered, but I also consider that the person using it that way is an uninformed individual who probably has some serious insecurities concerning his/her own sexuality. I feel sorry those people and their sexual partners. \n\nSincerely,\nTerry

Couldn't help but notice the other questions in your Q&A--got sort of a "wierdo sex question" theme goin' on? \nI doubt that many of us are amused. Yawnnnn.

It depends on who's doing it.\n\nIf it's a lesbian I do, because I know they're mocking me.  I know I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body, and they're mocking my disability when they stick out that tongue.\n\nIf it's my ex-wife I don't because I know she's one of God's "special" children and can't control things like her tongue movements and other things you can do with your mouth.\n\nIf it's a child, I don't because it was usually me that did it first.  I mean I want to give them the finger or hit them with a blender or something, but children are the future, and I don't want them brain damaged when they're working to pay the taxes to cover my Medicare.\n\nEverybody else, I don't care either way.  I've tried to invent a freeze ray that would allow me to drop my pants, and back up so that my....  Never mind, family friendly, family friendly.

I usually find people that just want to tell me off when I don't agree with their question. I find it amusing.

I DID notice, first time I started ANSWERS, and it bothered me.  Then after thinking about it, I was fine with it.  I don't think the categories are meant to include or exclude anyone, necessarily, but were created based on the volume of GAY/ LESBIAN -related questions and answers.  I mean there are a lot of us.  But where's other major groups???\n\nYes, I do think it's unusual that "we're" the only listed group besides "other."  Maybe that question should be posted and results brought to Yahoo's attention.  Personally, I think it should be a member of a particular ethnic, cultural, or 'whatever' group that should raise the question.\n\nI do thank Yahoo for being politically correct about our name: "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered."

Well I am sorry it makes you sick.  Not everything or every one is the way we all would like.  Some what disappointing I know.  As for WHY would someone like to be gay? I will tell you something.  I am happy with my lifestyle now. I am happy with the woman I am with.  But there was a period where I wasn't so sure.  Why you wonder.  Because my mother disowned me because of it.  My father bought books to see if they had the answers, maybe he did something wrong.  Or my personal favorite what my high school finding out and my teacher telling me I shouldn't eat with the other kids because it bothers them. \nDoes this sound like something we CHOSE?  Does this sound like something we ASKED for?  \nWe are stronger for the things we go through, doesnt mean we ask for the turmoil along the way.
