Allison R:
So, if you have read anything I have posted, you know how new I am. I still have shell stuck in places best left unmentioned, and I am getting angrier and angrier at all of the lies and misinformation surrounding us. I have lived under a rock my whole life, and had no idea what being trans was, even knowing all along I would be happier as a woman. I had never heard of GD, or that it could and does wreak absolute havoc in so many lives. All of the bathroom issues in the news would stop if the country had actual information about us and the issues we face. How in the world am I going into a bathroom to molest somebody, when most likely, it would be impossible due to hormones and their blockers or just out of the fact that that part of the normal life of a human is so distorted to me that nothing works properly, and we are just like spiders in the sense that most likely we are more afraid of you than you are of us. This is a medical issue, just like addiction is. And if it is beneficial to make an addict a patient instead of looking at them as a moral failure, then it would obviously be beneficial for us as well. And this is where I start getting angry. How different would my life have been if I had had this information 30 years ago. I know it is my responsibility, but I have been trying to figure out how and why I am different from everyone else I know for my whole life, and if this wasn't buried under politics I probably would have found it way sooner. I have said it on my blog, I knew how I felt, I just didn't know that was the literal definition. This needs to no longer be a political issue. It needs to be between a doctor and patient just like any other medical issue. And no, this isn't  a left or right issue, both sides need to leave us alone.

End of rant.
Thanks for playing.

I always figured that most of the fellas pushing the bathroom bills imagine that when I slither into the ladies' room, I'm going to creep up to the line of urinals and peep at everybody else's thingies.

Only reasonable explanation I can come up with.

Allison,

You are exactly correct in that our dysphorias are between ourselves and who we choose to discuss this with.

Unfortunately, since some people will never accespt us, we must be constantly watchful when these issues arise. I have found that the most effective response is a calm, and well thought out reply that educates our opponents and shows everyone that we are not a threat.

Rakel,

Very well stated!

Lady Sarah:
The sad fact is that many of the politicians promoting the bathroom bills are the very same men getting in trouble for their inappropriate behavior with women. It's as if they want the world looking at us so they can get away with their groping.
