LGBT in Teardrops

Postby Shadow Catcher » Sat Sep 06, 2014 6:45 am

I have a friend who happens to be interested in buying a teardrop trailer and she knows I am an enthusiast and just a bit opinionated :D
She would also like to come to some of the gatherings but is some what concerned about how she would be received because she is a post-op transsexual. I told her that I have been to gatherings where there were Gay and Lesbian couples and singles and know there were transgender individuals present and have yet to see a single negative response. I must say I have been surprised, pleasantly, as the demographics and backgrounds in this community are as diverse as they are in the LGBT communities.
She asked so I said I will make a post in T&TTT and see what sort of response I get.

There are some people I really like, and some people I strongly dislike.
I base my decision on who they are and their attitudes, not what they are.

Ha....don't expect a good sense here....it's impossible to have an opinion contrary to our society today besides the pan sexual (do what thou whilst) and not be punished. The LGBT movement has moved beyond acceptance into desiring dominance.

Were all being conditioned, or have been conditioned, to believing that sex is purely for satisfaction and it's ok to do whatever you want (do what thou whilst) without judgment by anyone. Yesterday it was free love, today it's LGBT tomorrow well see other forms of expression deemed as acceptable. Pedophilia, polygamy, beastiality, and who knows what else are all waiting in the wings to be normalized. It's only a matter of time.

Just by having an opinion other than "Do what thou whilst" you are putting a fire suit on.

The bottom line, is personally I find the lifestyle abhorrent (but not the person) and I don't like to witness it. They are still human being with the dignity that God gave us all. I would deal with it. Perhaps, a conversation at some point would be a deeper dive into this message content...

There are two social camps....LGBT and westboro baptist. Both are wrong. There is a third way....and it's what I believe.

Would I be uncomfortable...yes. Would I engage in name calling or other hateful acts, NO. The wost I would probably do is invite them to Explore the third way, and perhaps be on my way home a day or two early. If they can't tolerate my view, the. They can't expect me to tolerate theirs.

Hmm....now, where are the fire retardant gloves.

Believe what you will but remember the Forum Rules...

Rule Number 2: ... No fighting
You fight, we pull the thread, you keep fighting we pull you.
(See the Zero Tolerance Policy: (ZTP) below for more details)

Very important... * discussions about sex, politics and religion,
and certain bad jokes can lead to fighting. We would suggest that you
refrain from the aforementioned... as they will be carefully monitored, and
pulled as they turn into fighting.

I spent my professional life in Hollywood and worked with all those categories of people, and a few others. Some were jerks or worse, some were good friends. I stayed away from the first and enjoyed the company of the second group. The same applies when I am out in my trailer. Bring over a bottle of wine and come sit by my campfire as long as you clean up after your dog, don't play loud music all night and enjoy a good laugh.

I welcome her to this group I know a couple of transsexuals and lots of gay couples but to me my best friend and brother was a gay guy and we got along just fine. All we asked is that she like camping and being friendly with the group cause we are a big happy family here in the TT world.

Here is my answer to your question. How could it ever become an issue if it isn't made an issue? What I mean is Unless your friend comes to a gathering and announces "hi, I'm [name} and I'm a post-op transgender person", who is going to know? I know of one member here that is post-op trans. I only know that because that member posted that fact publicly on this forum. Otherwise, I would have no reason to suspect (or care, for that matter). I am also related to a post-op trans, so I may be a little more tolerant. I am also, admittedly, not the most observant person in the world. Even If I suspected that someone might be, I would never ask as I would consider that to be as rude as the previously mentioned greeting.

I'd have to say that I agree with Bill. If they show up at the gathering and don't make it an issue then it probably won't be.

If your friend is a nice person I'm sure we'd get along just fine. Tell them to camp by me if I'm there. I have straight, gay, and trans friends. I have friends from different political parties, a wide variety of ethnic groups and religions. I have friends decades younger and older than me. What's in anyone's heart matters far more to me than any label society deems positive or negative.

We've covered this subject before, with a good reception. Most of us don't have a problem with it.
Just be a genuinely nice person and don't intentionally flaunt or flame and most, if not all people will be accepting
