so I myself am simply a boring old bisexual female mind body and soul. when I was looking for roommates I specifically put LGBQT friendly in the ad. It's september 6th and I'm sitting outside with my IPAD and I start sharing an interesting article on female to male gender reassignment surgery. My roommate gets this weird look on his face like hes going to be sick or get mad. so I ask if he's uncomfortable and would like me to change the subject. he then informs me that Trans is just "wrong" and people "need to accept who they are at birth and not focus on simple 'wants' instead of needs and truths" do I even have to begin to explain what threw me about this? he then went on to talk about how he had to accept himself with all of his faults and wished that his family had been more accepting (he didn't tell me what the faults were) of them (more open minded perhaps?) i countered with "well who's to say whether it should be our minds or our bodies that should be changed?" "people spens so much time trying to change their minds, why not their bodies?"
anyway I'm writing this post because I need some advice. this issue is VERY important to me. Most of all because it is a major symbol of how important it is to me to be around openminded accepting people. what do I say next? how do i stop this from becoming an issue, hold my ground and yet remain amicable?
