Quote From: rmatlockGod did not create junk and does know us better than we know ourselves - you are extraordinarily correct!That does not mean we will know our neighbor better than they know themselves nor should we judge them do to lack of understanding. The show is simply to provide perspectives and stories. Maybe after watching you won't say 'It just doesn't seem right.' but ratherfully understand that God created each and every one of us different - and at times, it looks like a 'problem' until you see the whole picture.
I mean no offense at all. I don't normally dress/feel like a man myself, but everyone has a purpose.. even if you don't understand or quite know what it is. The people on these shows always touch SOMEONE's life and heart and that is what counts.
Thank you for that!
Unless you are in that persons body, how can you know what they are going through. Here we all sit judging people for the small snippet of their lives that we are shown.
Maybe He/She is ready to transition, maybe not. There are very strict standards in place for this to make sure it's not just done on a whim. Google the Harry Benjamin Standards of Care. It's not easy to change your gender.
While I'm not transgender myself I am the proud best friend of an amazing FTM. I've known him for many years and when he came out as trans it was so obviously the right choice for him. IT made perfect sense to those who know and love him. Now he is one mentally healthy amazing man and I just wish there was a way he didn't have to go through all those years of pain growing up.
If anything hopefully this show will help are struggling with this issue. I'm glad Dr. Phil has the nerve to bring this issue to public for discussion and awareness.
