Why would any logical person think that being transgendered is a choice?  Would anyone volunteer to go through the torture and abuse that we go through?  I have met people that are gay by choice because of bad marriages etc,, but they have no social problems.  They usually only date transgendered women.  I never have met anyone like me who is here by choice.

I agree. I don't see why anyone would willingly reject their birthsex. I mean, if they had a CHOICE, wouldn't they choose to live a simple and easy life? If I was lying, I'd be sacrificing so many opportunities and personal pleasures in life to keep this facade alive. To the point of ridiculousness.
