I can get 60fps if its lighting is set to retro, and I run it windowed (weirdly enough fullscreen wont get 60fps constant)

The more I think about it the more anxious I get to ask my friend about how he'd feel about a relationship with me. 

 

I dunno how to describe it. He's a lot like me: awkward but friendly. 

Maybe don't jump straight to that.... Tell him you like him and go from there.

 Same?

At least you know you and your friend could be something which is pretty fortunate for you. Unfortunately I don't know and am quickly losing hope that the friend I like could possibly be gay or bi or even curious. Which idk, it'd kinda suck if what I found out was it nothing more to it.

I've got a few corrections to your essay there:

So you've read a bit about hormones, but what you need to understand is that gender is more complicated than simply being down to hormones. There could be genetic factors, factors about the womb condition, plus a few others. Also, you can't just take hormones that are counter to what your body is producing - that's just going to result in more mental health issues. The suicide rate is simply much higher for transgenders in general, pre-op or post-op. This is simply because there is an immense social stigma, and total dysphoria about the body they're in.

I don't really get what you're saying about gays and lesbians staying they're birth gender, but thanks for that, I'll follow your advice . My point is, gays and lesbians aren't transgender - it's an entirely different thing. homosexuality pertains to sexuality, transgender pertains to gender. They're statistically linked, but completely separate.

I think you've pretty much hit the nail on the head about societal attitudes, but it also runs deeper - the discrimination has built up over thousands of years.

This point is just me being finickity. The children in homosexual relationships are still biological children, they're not machines .  However, a friend of mine is working on some interesting research that has generated quite a bit of buzz. The group he's in has discovered that it's possible to create a viable zygote using DNA from two sperm cells. This means that in the future it is entirely possible that we may see children with two biological fathers.

Speak to him first, you said he's already in a relationship, didn't you? So maybe just test the waters rather than immediately ask him out.

Sorry about some of the misunderstandings. I mean that the children are not 100% related to the parent, so the concerns of many traditional parents who want their specific bloodlines to be passed on comes into play here. I do understand that sexuality and gender are unrelated. Sorry if I gave you the impression otherwise. But indeed, what you said about hormones not being the only factor is quite true. It is one the very important factors, but just pumping hormones blindly won't do much good as you have correctly pointed out. The suicide rate among transgender people is high in general, but becomes even higher after surgery, climbing to 20 times that of the non-transgender population. Quite shocking. But I'm a bit curious about the real number of such people, seeing such a boom in the number of such cases. Is it that more people are willing coming out due to societal changes, some kind of biological influence by the changes in general habits or are some people simply plain confused or clinging on to this for a fad, kinda like Munchhausen syndrome, just seeking attention. The reason I spoke about gays and lesbians maintaining their genders is to not act hastily. Some people with gender dysphoria might mistake the sexual attraction towards the same sex as homosexuality instead. And it seems women have some kind of predisposition to Lesibanism. So convoluted and confusing for me to follow  I get confused a lot.

Don't worry about apologising for anything  

I hadn't heard about the suicide rate climbing after surgery, and I'm trying to think of a way to rationalise it. From my experience of speaking to transgender friends, often they keep the reassignment from a lot of people secret until they are undergoing the reassignment (In reassignment, I'm including all the parts that are necessary to begin the actual medical methods).So there could be friction and schisms that appear between family and friends that could make them suicidal. But from what I've seen, transgenders are much happier after transitioning.

I think you could be on to something about confusion, but I don't think it's a significant number, it's definitely more down to societal changes. It's such a drastic action to take, that I really don't think a significant number of people would do it just for attention.

I've been pleasantly surprised that we can discuss such a sensitive topic like this easily and calmly. To be honest, I had originally gotten a negative impression on this topic due to the words and actions of certain pierced and dyed, disgusting and profane loudmouths. P.S. Tumblr  such a scary place. Filled with many mentally questionable people.

Well, there's two sides of that sensitivity. The main side is that the LGBT community is one that has been discriminated against for thousands of years. Even in western countries, we still see daily abuse and violence. Just before I left England in August, I was out in a small village for a walk, and we were assaulted. People are sensitive because we are attacked. That's why people make such a big deal about coming out, and sometimes they can be oversensitive about people attacking them. So whilst you may think they're mentally questionable, you have also just called them disgusting because they have piercings and tattoos - so the understanding goes both ways.
