BACKSTORY:
A month ago, I got on the Rush Limbaugh show (

http://mediamatters.org/video/2014/05/29/transgender-caller-condemns-limbaugh-for-using/199505). The story got reported by MediaMatters, and then picked up by scores of news-outlets from the Chicago Tribune to the Huffington Post to the Christian Post. Then some Christian columnists wrote columns about it. In the Christian Post, Dr. Michael Brown of the Ask Dr. Brown Radio Show referred to me as "a man who called himself Tina". I responded to the column, and got on his radio show for ten minutes (
https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,166210.0.html). He let me do most of the talking, then challenged me to read a book from his side of the fence, and be on the show again. The book he referred to was the latest book by Walt Heyer, who is somewhat notorious for webpages about "Transgender Regret". I wrote a scathing review of the book, and sent it to Dr. Brown, who forwarded it to Heyer. I anticipate being on the Brown show again in a couple weeks.
The weakest point of Heyer's book is the half-dozen weak-ass examples of people who detransitioned (like Heyer himself had done), regret transitioning, or decided not to transition. I was thinking to use the I Love My Life thread as a rebuttal point, but I kinda refined the idea, tuning it more to my rebuttal of Heyer.
If you agree with the petition statement, please make one single post on this thread affirming that. You can just answer "agree", or you can comment. But, I want to be able to use the number of replies as the key fact, and I want the exact number to be indisputable - so please don't post more than once, or post that you disagree. Start another thread for that if you want.
Thanks for your cooperation!
PETITION STATEMENT:
DESPITE THE MYRIAD OF COMPLICATIONS AND DIFFICULTIES OF BEING TRANSGENDER, I LOVE MY LIFE! AND WOULD NEVER GO BACK TO LIVING IN THE WRONG GENDER.
