Yep. I admit it; I'm a fag hag. I have alot of gay male friends. Really, they're great because hanging out with them is like hanging out with the girls.... except that I don't have to worry about my boyfriend trying to sleep with one of them.
However, I also make it a point to stand up for transsexuals and it really pisses me off to watch you badmouth them. I've watched what they go through and they don't need haters like you making it any worse.
I talked to my cousin Sam and she told me to go ahead and let you people know her story.
She always acted and played and identified with girls more than boys, even when she was little. We have a big extended family but the ones she always wanted to hang out with were me and my sister. She didn't get along with the boys nearly as well.
At age 8, she moved to Florida and, at first, she was a little depressed. A few years later, she was 12 and puberty started and it terrified her. She just plain old stopped eating for days at a time because she thought it would prevent or reverse puberty. Didn't work and she got sadder. One day, her dad walked into her room and ( I'll try to be as "family friendly" as possible, but this part is still going to be pretty graphic, so if you have a problem with hot-dogs, you don't want to read it... and don't say I didn't warn you!) he caught her with a razor blade trying to cut off two organs that the removal of which actually would stop puberty. They rushed her to the hospital. One of the organs was damaged to the point that it had to be removed and stitches were put to keep the skin together.
Anyway, after an episode like that, she was put into a psych hospital. She told her therapist her issues and he wasn't sure exactly what to do with it. The best he could think of was to get a therapist who was more familiar with sexual issues and she found the problem right away: Gender Dysphoria. The new therapist got her started on an estrogen suppliment and a testosterone blocker and she was so much happier. She had already acted somewhat feminine but now even more so... and she loved it! However, when she went back to school, the other kids there didn't like it so much. She wasn't even back to school a week and she got beaten up pretty badly; two cracked ribs, a broken arm, stitches along her chin, eye brow and leg, a mild concussion and she was raped. She finished that school year in a school/outpatient center because they wanted to keep her safe and make sure they dealt with the emotional pain of what she had to deal with.
Then, that summer, her parents made one of the hardest decisions of their life: they sent her to Oklahoma to live with us. The thinking is that all the people she went to school with remember that she, genitially speaking, is still a boy and they would never let her forget it. They didn't want her being attacked anymore like that so they contacted school officials at my school and made arrangements for her to move in with us for at least that year and enroll in the school with the only person knowing her gender status being the principal. Worked like a charm! She got along just great! She got great grades, she was happier and she was becoming a beautiful young woman!
Well, after that year and everything went so well, her father got transfered to another job in another state. Same thing with the school: they made it a point to get her enrolled in a school that would be willing to work with her and her gender non-conformity. Worked beautifully. She finished high school in Denver and went off to college. During the summer break from her freshman year, she had managed to save enough money to get sex change surgery done and she considers it the best choice she's ever made.
And, yet, you want her to go back to being the depressed boy who is cutting himself to get over his pain? She is now an nurse practicioner and incredibly happy and she would never have been able to get her as a boy. Would you really want to take that all away from her?
