I don't really think of myself being born in the wrong body, maybe more like I got the wrong gender mark from birth, but I where too young to know what it ment and complain. I wont jugde them, they where also pretty confussed as well

I think culture are not only dealing with gender in our sociaty but also gender withing transgender sociaty on which word to be used and such thing.
ex, I feel wierd using "transexual" transexual is not much of an accepted word in my comunety its better to say transgender or trans-people.
this things really goes from everything to how open we may or may not be to what we may use to decribe ourself, even the actions in some part.
I dont know what makes or dont make us transgender, I belive its a varientions in nature which people cant understand, I dont get why we only need to have male or female, why cant we have multiply female or males like in certain species, In some way I already belive we have them but wont aknowlegde it that we exist, but as a writter I often play with the idea on how it would be being trans in a sociaty where being trans would be more like being just a diffrent type or man or woman, like a redhaired or something who really isnt no big deal. I guess if it had been so I would still had transitioned but my transition would be based diffrently, it would be less of a deal in some way I belive, like getting brace on your teeth. I somethimes belive we dont notice all how it infects us and somethimes we do,
ex theres been articlas because sweden this year got rid of the law to force sterilization on transgender people. Its not forced in as people force you to sit down and tie you to the chair, its more like telling you "either you do this surgery, or also the goverment wont aknowlegde you as a man or woman no matter what you do you will always be registered as the sex you where born as".
it have been normal part of life, I belived I would be having this ALONE for the fact thats that how you do if your serious about being trans. not being able to get children is part of being trans, my parrent asked me when I where to get top surgery "your sure you wont get any children?"
I said I was sure. even when I now dont see how its fair.
when the law of sterilization got off due to activism and being agenst humans right it have made alot of people questionate why they took the decision in first place. Those people who did it alone to get there name, pasport or ID changed felt molested.
it just an exemple on how we may adapt to something. I am not agenst hystomy or bottom surgery, just the concept that people are forced into the hard choice of not having there right, or never having children.
