As a person born into the life of a transgender woman, I find a number of problems with this article. Aside from the obvious atrocious grammar, the writer claims that his youth in a same sex household left him scarred from a lack of male gender roles. Even in a same sex relationship, there is almost always a masculine and a feminine partner. These parings are often times strong enough to demonstrate the proper structure of a family unit.
As has been shown by another post to this article, there has been some suspicious editing that needs to be questioned by the reader. Who changed the article from its original content, and to what end? Throughout my reading, I have noticed that there is an agenda being held forward by the "straight" community of supporting the notion of normalcy for a heterosexual only society. Such a social structure has never existed among the creatures of the natural world and never will.
Once the bias of researchers against findings of homosexual activity among the animal world was removed, same sex acts have been found throughout the animal kingdom. Yet, conservatives still insist that same sex behavior is abnormal, when the facts speak otherwise.
From the point of view of my own life experience, I can say that I experienced more emotional and physical damage at the hands of a father trying to beat some strength to me and thus into being more male, than I would have if I had have been shown acceptance and understanding.
I tried and failed to be straight, as a result, I married and divorced women that did not deserve the pain of the experience. I am thankful that my children are intelligent enough to understand the gravity of my experience and forgive my failure to achieve "maleness" according to my father's model.
Real scientific study has shown that gender is assigned early in fetal development and the environment in which we mature has little impact on our gender identity. http://media01.commpartners.com/AMA/sexualidentityjan_2011/index.html
