I would disagree wanting to be able to pleasure yourself w/o procreating is automatically perversion. I think your use of that particular word is erroneous. To me perversion is an adult wanting to have intimacy with children or animals. Not wanting to have something to pleasure themselves with. I personally believe that too many people get hung up on the idea of sex is only for reproduction. If that were the actual case, there would be little or no pleasure in the act, it would be instinctive and demanding during whatever 'time' was allotted by nature (much like we see with many animals who come into 'heat').

I think that using the word perversion to describe someone wanting to change their physical attributes for their own needs/pleasure w/o understanding that human sexuality is on a rather wide spectrum and not a fixed male/female only construct is needlessly harsh and frankly, completely antagonistic even though you may not actually mean it that way. I can understand how some people would feel you are being disparaging and dismissive and completely sure of your viewpoint as the only possible viewpoint there can be.

As I said previously, there are as many reasons for a GM or a GF to wish to alter their appearance physically as there are humans beings on the planet. No one size fits all works when human beings are involved, and when you try to fit everyone into your preconceived notions on a subject, you will fail miserably and needlessly antagonize people due to your stance on the subject.

Now... as to 'spirits' and other things along that subject... I don't know if I agree with you there at all as I am far closer to an Atheist than I am to someone that is spiritual or religious, however I hold out that I can't know for sure either way, so accept the possibility such things could be real. Most would say that makes me an Agnostic but I don't see myself that way. I don't personally believe such things exist, but I am willing to entertain the possibility of their existence. However.. I'd rather not really get too involved into that type of discussion. I kinda feel that as long as people are happy with what they believe, it's no sweat off my brow.
