My God this post makes me want to break down and bawl. The worst thing about it to me is we lose people over it like our brother Nero. That we lose too many of us accidentally trying to get relief from the pain for a little while or intentionally because we live in a messed up society that don't even have a clue of who they are even let alone us being transgendered. To me its not about beng transexual or transgender but the fact that society is ignorant to our struggles and strife of dealing with being in the wrong body or what we feel is the wrong body. And when we wear and dress our appropriate internal gender the ignorance that society displays toward us. Pokes fun at us, does not accept us as who we truly are instead of their idea of norm. In my opinion I have never seen anyone LGBT or cis that was completely normal. But normalcy is just another societal illusion.
In my opinion, I do believe that we are more, not normal, but extremely more genuine than the rest of society. Like I said normalcy is another illusion but being true to who you really are is genuine and takes a lot more internal strength than pretending for society's sake and acceptance.
PS sorry for the rant. I kinda' got my own little dysphoria thing right now and usually it manifests as anger toward societal norms. If I offended anyone I apologize.
