Some people do desire chocolate though |
I think you're getting caught up on the word choice of out argument. He's using the word desire instead of want for a reason. "Want" implies a conscious choice while "desire" doesn't which in this case makes the distinction necessary. Why would a Transexual make a conscious decision to endure the internal turmoil that come along with the sense that you're the wrong sex? Yea, you're right, there is a "want" to dress like the opposite sex, but a "desire" to be the opposite sex a different. The want is caused by the desire in that case, the desire being the a pretty much permanent sense that you were born into the wrong body.
Truthfully, I don't even think I should be speaking on behalf of transexausls because I do think their situation is a bit different from that of homosexuals. On one hand you have VERY effeminate gay men who have no desire to be women and other the other hand there are transexuals. In a way, I do feel like they are on the same spectrum with being gay on one hand, effeminate gay men in the middle, and transexuals on the other side.
