Okay this didn’t happen here on Susan’s. But it was on <not allowed>.  I made a comment that I thought was innocent.  I said a trans man or a trans female was born as a male or a female respectively.  Again that is a fact.  But I immediately followed that statement up with we all have a right to be who and what we feel we need to be to happy.  I got attacked left and right, and accused of being a bigot. I was like where is this mess coming from?  Can someone help me how saying that we all were born as a male or female is a bad statement..

putaringonit:
I am guessing you got attacked because some people think that trans folks are born as trans, meaning that we were always the gender we identify as, even if our genitals were different when we were born, and your comment stating otherwise triggered them.

But that's just my guess *shrugs*

mako9802:
I get that some people always felt that they were different than there birth gender.  But everyone and the larger society probably doesn’t believe that.  I just want everyone to be happy is all I meant by that post.  For me I am a androgyne I accept that I have both energies in me.  I was born a “king” but always wanted to be a “queen”.  Literally all my life…we are all different…

If that's the case, then there's no reason to make a declaration about birth gender. Generally speaking, sex and gender are different things anyway. I think the best way to get along/everyone be happy is if we accept who we are and then accept others as they are. Nothing to be sold on or minds changed if people thought that way. Therein lies the problem. Not everyone is willing to accept others as they are, but most people don't understand their internal beliefs and what the foundations of their fears are, so they become reaction vessels to the world they interact with.

Allie Jayne:
The commonly used descriptors are Assigned Male At Birth, or Assigned Female At Birth. Science has shown us that we are indeed born trans, as part of our brains develop differently in utero, so I can see where some people may not like the descriptor 'born male/female. Unfortunately, most trans people are unaware of the circumstances of why they are trans and it causes too many problems.

Hugs,

Allie
