In S.E. Asia transgender people are worshipped as being the embodiment of everything that is good in both man and woman and considered holy, and given special status.

I still love Derek after everything that happened it in no way has anything to do with the fact that he was trasgendered that we broke up. we are still friends to this day. so im sorry if you found it offensive cause it wasnt meant to be. Not every love story turns out how you expect it to i thought i would be married to derek by now but thinkgs change.. the way i feel never will though gender isnt an issue. <br /><br />Thanks, <br />sheri >this is Sheri the girl from the article…

Why does gender matter. Like really. Yes, Derek should've been open from the beginning, however, Sherri should've been a bit more understanding. You fall in love with someone because of who they are INSIDE, not what they are on the OUTSIDE. I have been dating my girlfriend for almost a year, (it'll be a year on Monday, November 16th,) and im white, and she's black, the outside doesn't matter. but my friends would ask me: what's it like kissing a girl? my answer is ALWAYS the same: it's not something I think about. I'm kissing the person I love, because I love her for who she is. I dont think about the fact that Im kissing a girl and not a guy, and Sherri shouldn't have been so extrememly upset because she fell in love with Derek on the inside. I just dont understand some people. >I didn't find it offensive, however, I did feel bad after reading it. Why does gender matter. Like really.

But when I finished reading it, I noticed that at the end the girl said that if he had been honest from the beginning, the girl would've stayed with him. It wasn't about being disgusted by transgender people, it was about wanting honesty in a relationship. >I read that article, and I was offended at first (I'm not transgender, but I am lesbian).
