01/17 Gender Identity Crisis

Quote From: xrk9854

A study also proves that transgendered peoples brains more closely match the gender they identify with. We were born this way! (Yes I was born transsexual). Sorry I don't have the link to the study handy. Research in the next 10 years will prove beyond a doubt that transsexuality is a birth condition by determining the causative factors. It is not a choice! And saying it is is insulting to those of us who have suffered for decades (in my case) before fixing things. Gender and sex usually match, but that is not true for people born transsexual. I was born with a mismatch and it made life very confusing and painful for me as I tried to be what others wanted me to be. You who were born conguent, that is with the brain (gender) and body that match, and you take that for granted. You assume it's the same for everyone and it isn't. Earlier someone said God doesn't make junk. And they're right. God made me the way I am (a person born transsexual). Why would he do that? One reason I think is to test the rest of you, to see if you live up to his teachings of loving others. Ask yourself why you have no problem with other people correcting their birth conditions, but you want me to continue to suffer, living a life that's all wrong for me. I have nothing to be ashamed of. I was born this way. I'm just a normal person with an extraordinary problem. One that I'm in the process of correcting, so I can be just like you: congruent, that is a person who's insides and outsides match. We only want to be whole.
I remember watching  a show on transsexuals, and yes they are born like that. Their brains are slightly different that of a "normal" person, but that don't make them different that you or I!!!!

ITA that there are differences in the brains of transexuals as well as gays,  And I would support any  family or friend that I felt suffered from this.  My issue was with the guest on the show, she seemed to come across as having her breasts removed to spite her family,  thus the butchering comment I made in the post, she just did not convince me that she was truly a transexual.  I would never have a problem being associated with or seen with anyone, be that transexual, gay, cross dresser, drag queen what ever.  I would have robbed myself from some very wonderful people in my 57 yrs had I judged them from what they looked like on the outside instead of  looking past that and getting to know them... The junk in this world are the abusers, child molesters, murder's ect.....

And I sincerely apologize if I offended you, that certainly was not my intent in posting
