New here have a question

:cheers2::rofl:

 

Just wow!

Ignorance is bliss I guess...Haha

"The distinctions you make are also understood" How ironic.

That actually did make me laugh lol

 

Invisible, I just want to say I think you need to relax over this thread. Tisha is right, you're acting like everybody is attacking you personally. I guarantee you that you're not the only one going through your problem (like me..), but yet I still don't take these people as offensive. If they can't understand your problem which is what you're worried about, then just don't deal with those people! That's all you need to do. Just surround yourself with people that love you for who you are. That's all you're asking for anyways, right?

No, they werent attacking me personally, but Tisha implied because I didn't find my predicament "funny", that I hadnt accepted myself. It was also implied that the distinctions I made were "understood", when going by their attitude, that clearly wasnt the case. I merely pointed out that not everyone finds transsexual's plight's "funny". Not least a lot of the people themsleves. They were challenging why I didnt find it funny, and I merely defended my position, thats all.

 

I hear you. And I agree with you. I don't find my situation funny either. I wish the best of luck to you and every other woman that your life will improve in every way possible

 

when you say "making a transformation" do you mean a sex change operation? i'm a little confused.

if so, i'm pretty sure that the army would not allow you to get a sex change operation.
coming out, as i imagine, would be a big deal for anyone who's doing it. i know you're pretty scared about it and you'll have to just accept the fact that certain people won't like your proclamation. however, some people might be more accepting of it than you think. living in a small community, will definitely make it harder for you to come out. I wish you the best.

 

Well its all true

 

What can I say that has not already been said?
So, I go and hope the thread goes back to being dead.

 

Nothing. You've made it quite clear that I should be able to "laugh at myself". The fact you cant see why I can't do that, just proves you have a complete ignorance about the topic. Not all people labelled as "transgender/transsexual", are the same. And I think that's what people like you do not understand. You said you did understand the difference, but posts made after you'd said that showed otherwise. You want to laugh at all trans/intersex people, fine. But if you think all those people should find amusement in their condition, then you really havent the faintest idea what you're talking about.

I do hope this thread does go back to being dead, because this is like flogging a dead horse, it goes nowhere.

 

I missed this post, sorry.

I'm not surprised to hear that...Most trans people do not find the situation they are in funny either. I suspect the only ones that do, are ones who don't mind being seen as, or maybe even enjoy being seen as "trannies", or "she-males". Most find terms like this, highly offensive. To say to a transperson, that not being able to "laugh at yourself", means you havent accepted yourself, is ignorant in the extreme. And that was what I took objection to. Most don't even like being seen as "transsexual". So to expect such people to find themselves a source of amusment as some others who have no concept of what they are going through do, shows a complete lack of knowledge, or empathy about the immense hardships that a lot of these people have to endure.

Thank you, I hope things will improve in my situation, but I doubt it.

I wish you the best of luck also
