There is a difference though
I dont know if being trans is a medical condition , but even if it is there are more aspects to it...

For example mogu, nobody is going to hurt you/discriminate you etc because you have asthma ...but thats not the case with being trans...

We re not proud because we have a medical condition , we are proud because we managed to find and accept our true selves in a world that marginalises everything not normal , we are proud that we managed to go through  transition and basically challenge everything,,,
I most certaintly im proud because being trans gave meaning to my life , most people in this world are born being themselves...we are not ,so we understand its importance more than anyone...
Im proud that I have to fight become myself, no matter the sad times in the end its worth it more than anything,,,

That bit in bold is exactly what I meant when writing this thread and that's how I feel :)

No, I am not proud of a medical condition

I'm not proud of my asthma either

Honestly, I just don't understand the trans pride thing

New question for you then...are you happier now than you were before? Are you happy within yourself and with your identity?
