The Last Real Woman Syndrome

http://womenborntranssexual.com/2010/02/25/the-last-real-woman-syndrome-2/We get hammered about who we are our entire lives, from the bullies who made our lives a hell in primary through high school period of life to the right wing religious fanatics who want to deny us equality in the eyes of the law. Some of us were thrown out by our families as pervert children and left to make our lives on the streets under the care and tutelage of older and wiser wolves. Others lost the families they tried to build much later in life, the results of divorce and denial of parental rights. All because of having been born transsexual.
Religions consider us to be an abomination. The police all too often consider us to be criminal even where laws are meant to protect us rather than laws criminalizing us. Real actual violent crimes committed against us go uninvestigated or (in the absence of specific hate crimes law) in the case of the arrest of the offender are under prosecuted with acceptance of the all too common trans-panic defense.
