There are some bad questions, too.
It is known that being a transsexual supposes lots of courage, self-esteem, ambition and determination. Some people may find this phenomenon weird or even funny, and that`s why they ask transsexuals stupid questions that not only offends them, but also make the curious one seem a total incult.
Most of us can cope with those particular questions although they are really unpleasant and it occurs many times that you get tired of some people`s mockery. I will show you 10 of the most common questions that transsexuals are asked in order to satisfy curiosities.
1. What is your original name, you know, before you were transsexual?
Well, it is the one that I choose to have right now in the moment of speaking that really matters. There is no such thing as "original" or "fake" name. I don`t actually take my ID with me everytime I go out, so I guess I can assign myself any name I want to.
Though it may not seem so, we are all the same.
Even though we are living in the 21st century and things are much more different than they used to be once, some of them stayed the same and people continue to see others as freaks, hating them without a particular reason. In this article you will find a few of the situations when people are discriminated for being gay or having a different God.
Whether if we`re talking about people that are harassed at the workplace, school, playground or even in family, discrimination makes all of us really unconfortable. It usually appears when people have a different religion, sexuality, skin colour, education, or just don`t share the same opinions with the majority. For instance, political views. People are not born with the hatred they show in any of the cases mentioned early, they are taught to do so at home. A child with homophobic parents will end up hating homosexuals too, same thing will happen with a boy raised in a racist family.
LGBT - part of the modern world
LGBT is a general term that reffers to all the people that have a different sexual orientation than the heterosexual one. LGBT includes intersex/hermaphrodites, homosexuals, lesbians, pansexuals/omnisexuals, bisexuals and transsexuals. For the past few years, people had different opinions about LGBT, especially regarding the acceptance, marriage, employment, religion issues and adoptions made by gay/lesbian couples. As you may guess, people don`t see LGBT in a positive way ... .
There still are many people that are unaware of what certain terms mean, or use them in an unappropriate way. I am going to make a brief summary about each and every term, in order to ease your understanding, and hopefully manage to make people a bit more open minded. If any questions, please ask!
1. Homosexual/Gay - Term used for describing a man that has sexual intercourse or romantic connections with another man. There are more gays than lesbians, studies have shown that approximately 5% of men have a gay/bisexual orientation.

Marriage is a right we should all have.
Since ancient times, our ancestors mentioned marriage as a form of spiritual connection with the one we truly love. It was back then when the boundaries were set that the marriage must take place between a man and a woman in the holy matrimony. More than 5000 years later, things have changed a bit.
1. Marriage means love.
It is normal for two persons that love each other regardless of their gender, sexuality, nationality, religion or ethnicity, to get married. At least theoretically, because practically gay marriages are not allowed in many countries all around the world.
The reasons are mostly based on religious facts linked to The Bible but also to the future generations that may misunderstand the concept of freedom and acceptance. Well, according to The Bible, God tells us that those who do not respect their parents shall be killed with rocks, and it must happen exactly the same with gay people and other people that have a different sexual orientation. The Bible was written 2000 years ago, and guess what? Nowadays nobody kills anybody for even having claimed the life of his parent! Yet, homosexuals, bisexuals and transsexual people are being murdered every year. You do the maths.
