You're really amongst the sweetest people on the whole planet because we go through so much. Cis people can be sweet and all but we have to extra sweeten ourselves to turn us into girls. We go through hell in our lives and all we want to do is live in peace. We truly are the peacemakers.
Oh I don't know about that.
Some are good, some are bad some are neither, but I definitely would not call T-people inherently understanding or good just because they are Trans.
Not long ago, a steady member of Susan's was muted because she just said too many discriminating things; She thought that homosexual people was mentally ill, she considered HBS-transsexuals being the only "valid" type of transsexual and she mocked the other types of varianted people under the TG-label, but was furious when having pointed out to her that she was in fact part of that very label herself.
Then, not to forget, we have the Hijras in India, that- although many of them are indeed goodhearted- others form groups and snatch homeless teenboys and cuts of their genitals so that they will have more members in their group and make more money.
On another very big T-board, a huge chunk of the T-chicks are truly nasty to people that refuse to worship them and only them, and the words "Gay" and "->-bleeped-<-got" rains over the guys, basically just for no reason at all.
Some time ago, a member that commented on the good looks of an FTM that someone had posted a clip on, was met by one of the longtime T-members with; "admin get this ->-bleeped-<- the ->-bleeped-<- outta here.this is a tg forum not a ->-bleeped-<- forum like whats wrong with you people?".
And that
only because of the comment on the FTM. It is also highly ironic that Haters never seems to be able to spell.
Anyway, there are numerous of more examples, but those above alone gives evidence that T-people do certainly not have to be "better" or more goodhearted than anyone else just because they are trans.
I can attest also on a personal level, that some Trans-people are truly horrible individuals and I would even call some of them as being literally evil.
So, as you can see, I disagree very much that Trans-people are the Peacemakers as a group. On an individual level, however, many trans-people are indeed the hope of the World, but I disagree that Trans-people are such as a group and just because they are trans.
