Description
"... It's time to go to my parents house - my family who thinks they know all about me, their son. They don't. I don't tell them everything. I wish I could, but doing so would cause drama and so many issues that I can't possibly handle in my life right now. They don't know of my transformation: Male to Female transsexual. I have been taking pills for a long time and I now have grown well developed breasts. I can't put bras on when I see them. They would notice the strap lines as well as the roundness of my chest. I would wear a thick sweater, but its no where near winter yet and they would still show. I don't regret my new growth or the years I spent taking the pills to transform into what I want to be, so the only option I have is to bind my chest as tightly as I can with medical bandages, sometimes with a combination of duct tape I have to buy a bulk of rolls because they are one use only. It's like wearing a corset that makes your chest as flat as possible. On top of wearing this stupid bandage, I have to wear boy clothes, down to the underwear. This makes me even more uncomfortable.Its hard to breathe with this bandage on and I can't flex my torso as much as I want to. In the end, I get burns and bruises from the tightness of the bandage. Sometimes my damage my ribs. I sometimes lock myself in the bathroom when seeing my parents and remove the construction from my chest. I only manage to get a good few breathes of air before I have to put it on again and walk out - continuing to act like a male instead of the female I want to be.
There will be a time when I can no longer hide it, but since my parents are so ego driven and thick skulled, I can't tell them anything. For now, I will be the "son" they love instead of the "daughter" I wish to be... "

And I also didn't ask for you to attempt to call me out. But you see, it's called free will. When you get over people with other opinions, then you can talk. Until then, go back to the playground and let the big boys talk.

If this is the case, then I suppose it was perfectly free of will for me to call you out. I'm just curious as to why your rounding on me with such a defense when you were the one who made the original smartass remark. In any case, it still didn't have to be said in the first place. If you didn't like it so much then why did you bother to even place a comment when there was a pretty little "x" just above your window.

So, you don't like free will based on your first comment, but then say your comment was made using free will? Very hypocritical.
And because there's an easier way out means yous should take it? When you don't like something just ignore it? People like you are why the world is so fucked up. I hope you understand the complete stupidity of your comment.

Listen, if the artist wanted critique they would have asked. At this point I've already stereotypically labelled you as some block-headed ass and am pretty much done with this. Your not worth the trouble it's causing.

>Implying that the artist has to ask for it to be critiqued. And I love how you've ignored all of my points, and just insulted me. That goes to show the intelligence of you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If you knew anything about this particular site then yes, generally the artist will ask to be critiqued. Obviously however, you do not.
Your points where not ignored I simply did not feel the need to respond. This insult, on the other hand, was placed because of the foul way you returned my own comment. Such as calling me a hypocrite when I had never denied you your own free-will, assuming that a simple piece of art explaining hundreds upon hundreds of real life situations was something that you could very well have ignored (making that comment made no difference to anyone or anything in all reality), then continuing to mock my own intelligence twice at this point.

This particular site has nothing to do with it.
More like "Your points were ignored because I couldn't argue them."
You said "Dude, lay off. No one puts their art on this site so people like you can dance along and bash them. You could at least show some common decency" That implies I didn't have the right nor free will to make the comment I did. When I pointed that out, you said "If this is the case, then I suppose it was perfectly free of will for me to call you out."
So apparently you can have free will but I can't. That's massive hypocracy, ergo, I called you a hypocrite.
And the reason I mocked your intelligence is because you make it so easy to do so.

Fine, I accept. You caught me in a frustrated contradiction. Can we be done with this nonsense now?

No problem. All you had to do was ask.

I more or less stated it, but I'll remember that next time. Lol.

replying comments like these makes it matter when it really doesn't. people have their opinions and posting publicly runs the risk or what some may find rude or offensive. its best to ignore it, remember some people find this wrong as well, because our bodies are sacred things and using pills surgery ect, could be considered a way of wrecking the beauty nature intended. while ill worded, he is in the right to make a contrary opinion. if the artist didn't care to hide the comment, then don't worry about it.

Seriously, unless you want to turn the comments in a good piece of work into a flame war, then don't ask for an argument. How often does a comment war actually get a battle of beliefs settled. Drop it.

transsexuality has noting to do with being a homo

Well, I believe unless yourself can actually produce something worth looking at, then you can actually have an input on artwork without trolling on people.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Not saying that to intimidate you, I just feel that you've ticked me off enough.
One question, why would you comment on this when you could have completely ignored it in the first place? Do you like being an ass?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
You don't have to make art to criticize it. That's like saying you have to bathe in piss before you can tell that it's piss. And I'm the only person you've used foul language against? I'm so scared!

Thats, so... interestiinngg a very compelling story. Yet, sad on both sides.

Aww.. he / she should maybe tell his parents why he's doing it might make a difference and maybe help him / her not hurt him/ her self as much....

No problem. I didn't know that was the right way to refer to someone who is transgendered until someone who was transgendered chewed me out on the subject. Now you can avoid that.
