Re: Any fello transgender people on here?
SirBadger, your experience is your own. I respect it. You made the choice to remain as you are.
The problem is, gender is a social construct that affects pretty much every facet of who you are. Most people who decide to transition fully are dealing with feelings so profoundly disquieting that simply putting up with them is difficult, sometimes impossible. When you say that they should just embrace who they are, you've got to understand that for some of these individuals, who they are is the gender they wish they were, not the gender they appear to be. My advice is to try and honour that as best you can.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I want to tell you that your post made me cringe a bit, but you also asked politely, and if you really are interested in a straight answer, I genuinely hope I've helped a little bit. The fact is, if you haven't experienced gender dysphoria, then you probably don't know what it's like and should largely defer to those who do know what it's like. I don't either, for that matter, so I'm just willing to take the word of the people who do know. Essentially, they're the experts, not me, and that is more than good enough for me to be going along with.
