Why do you think you are 'transgender ?

I consider myself a proud production second.

I suppose i see ur point. I am female, but to my physical world im still all male. So presenting as a male who has uncanny abilities to understand women makes me feel like i positively affect the lives of women around me.

I guess its not really tapping into a womans mind if you already posses one, but growin up as male means you know about men too. Something most cis gendered folk just dont get. Men will never understand women, and women will never understand men... But transgendered people can understand both.

[LordKAT]

Men will never understand women, and women will never understand men... But transgendered people can understand both.

Transgendered people are men and women. They may have a better idea of what life is like for the other but beyond that, women still don't make sense to me at times.

[LilLivvy91]

Lol! Agreed... Women are a rambunctious sort.

[Carrie Liz]

Yeah... I'm going to second this. I mean, I kind of understand men, because I was forced to be around them for so many years, but I never really "got" them. I never understood the whole male-pride thing, the whole need to be macho, the whole ripping on each-other as a means of social interaction thing, and especially never understood the whole "male bonding" thing which involves a lot of "stuff" but not a lot of bonding if you ask me. I also never understood that male desire to hide the body under shapeless bulky baggy clothing rather than things which fit well and show off the body.

I don't think many of us can truly say that we were really members of both genders. Most of us probably spent most of the years of our social lives in our birth sex being seen as some degree of oddball or abnormal. So we kind of understand it because we were exposed to the social expectations, but we probably never truly "get" why those expectations are there, because they feel wrong to us.

[LilLivvy91]

Yea, like my ex girlfriends always expect me to be a man,  to dominate them and really i just didnt kno how. I feel like i cheated them. I dont get that "male pride" either. But im helping my brother get over his and its worked marvelously for him

Well, my mom says she blames herself for it because when she was pregnant with me she prayed I wouldn't be a boy. She says my dad was so rough on my sister than she was afraid if she had a boy my dad would eventually kill him. Sooo she thinks God is punishing me for her mistakes.

I don't subscribe to her theory obviously. I just see it as a medical condition I was born with. No different than the genetic cancer gene defect I have. It's just there, always been there, always will be there in some sense. All I can do is try to correct what I can to make my life as symptom free as possible.

I remember someone on the forums asking this question (it might even be on this thread but I couldn't bring myself to read through it):

"Could you live the rest of your life as a women/man[and be happy]?"

I know I could do everything I'm doing and more if I identified as female, but it would just feel wrong and no matter what I did, I still wouldn't be happy with myself. Male, boy, guy, dude, it all seems more natural to me anyways, and I feel more comfortable and more confident doing a wider range of things like cooking and knitting and lifting weights, pretty much anything. It's kind of weird, but that's how I feel :p

im not . im a woman who happens to be a transsexual..until im post or that is..

I am a christian so please bear with me.
I have thought about this a lot and come to the understanding that my god did not make any sort of mistake which leads me to the question, why would he make me this way.
The easy answer could be he is getting us used to an upcoming era when gender does not matter, and we will be happy in whatever way this life becomes.
But i think a little deeper and i know my god does things for the better of us. So it must be yet another way to grow closer to him. But his so called church, has been unaccepting of people like us. And we have had to come together to support each other in this time. But i do believe we will be Accepted soon. As long as we continue to show love to each other as well as them, we can show how us humans are supposed to live like "him".
So i think its to teach us personally as well as a group of human beings to hold on to hope, and give all we can to better our society into a more accepting and loving place to be.

Or maybe wishful thinking but whatevs. :p

I'm Christian too, but I don't see it as a mistake. It's just a birth defect to me that needs to be treated like any other birth defect. If you were born with a cleft palate that made it difficult to eat and drink, you would have it corrected even though you were technically "made that way." Just my personal point of view but I hope it helps.

[Emo]

Well there goes my wishful thinking. Lol

But seriously, i agree.
I guess my whole schpeel was just a way to come to terms with it.

Even if you agree with me, you can go deeper than that and believe there's a reason behind it. I just choose not to because it caused serious problems for me when I did. It's really just a matter of how you choose to look at things. If it comforts you to believe it was entirely deliberate, by all means, don't walk away from that belief.

[Emo]

Truth is i thought of it as a birth defect earlier today.
I just wanted to sound smart is all. :3

But i do think about these things a lot. Especially in the shower. :p
And at work. Tho i probably shouldnt do that. Lol.

Im just trying to make sense of everything right now. And i do mean everything. My entire life. Lol. But that comes with growth right?

Absolutely!

Isn't there a Religion section around here somewhere?

[FalseHybridPrincess]

I think that actually a huge mistake happened...
Even though I had a girls soul or whatever I was given a male body, the reason I can not know...and I think its better that I dont...
Anyway life has really deprived us from so many things...now we just need to claim them back...

We bring a lot more to the world than we take. We help people understand the differences between the genders and at the same time show them that gender is a home, not a prison. If I were God and creating humanity, I would feel it was incomplete without transgender people.
