So lately ive been trying to make more of an effort to go out and meet other trans people, because up until a couple of months ago i didn't know anyone trans besides myself of course. So i met this trans girl named Katie at one of my local bars here and she proceeded to introduce me to some of her friends. She mostly has lesbian friends and they are all really nice, she only introduced me to one other trans girl named Jade. Well Jade is only 25 yrs old and she is sort of out to the world but not completely.. Jade was disfigured as a teenager in a accident and she has about more than half of her face severely burned and she uses a nose prosthesis as well because she lost her nose. Jade has told me that she is not out and most likely will not be because she feels insecure, females by nature i believe are very preoccupied with appearance and at the age of 25 it's pretty important at least for most of us. Well i had a conversation with Jade because she is very dysphoric most of the times that i see her, which lately has been pretty often. Well anyway i mentioned to her that her disfigurement should not hold her back from achieving her dream, because we only get to live once in this life and she might be regretting this later on. I want you'r opinions do you think that her disfigurement should hold her back from transitioning into a woman? i believe that it shouldn't hold her back at all, i believe she should live the life that will make her happy and forget what other's might think because sometimes we gotta live for ourselves. Why should we care about what people who we dont know and dont know us think? Ive said to her go out, dress how u like, if you dont feel 100% comfortable throw on some makeup or whatever u like but be yourself. What do you guys think?
