QuoteCome on, it's time to admit this system is a sham. Everyone knows what to say to the shrinks and more importantly, what not to say. And even if someone messes up, they just go and get another shrink. It's all a huge waste of time and money.
Probably the most rational thing I've ever seen posted here. The system IS a sham, and benefits the medical community. You people are a cash cow. I never realized it, until they tried to put me thru the ringer when I went to get one of my surgical corrections. It's absurd how badly they treat you.
And your silence, and need to be stealth feeds that dysfunction. I don't have an answer for this community. No one is going to give you the rights and voice you deserve until you claim it. But claiming it puts you in the public eye. Which seems to defeat the purpose of your transition.
Worse still, when someone is willing stand up and speak for you, and to fight for your cause, they get labelled as other, not like me, and not a real man/woman. It would be ironically comical if it were not so painfully sad.
QuoteI've read Kate's books, as I understand it, zie had SRS and after a while went beyond binary gender identification. Zie is not man, not woman, considers hirself as other. As far as I know, zie has no regrets about SRS, and prefers living as female rather than male presentation.
Kate is a hoot. She has chosen to live outside the box. I respect her for that, just as I respect those of you that choose to live in the box [stealth]. I live outside the box, because that is my birthright.
