(Especially, by the conservative right?)
What have transsexual done to merit such scorn?
I am a transsexual myself (M to F), I didn't ask for this. I have tried every thing to make my gender dsyphoria go away, nothing worked. The only thing that has brought me a small measure of peace was accepting that I was born this way. I was born with a female brain trapped inside a male body. So each day I wake up and try to be the best person I can be, I mind my own business, I work hard, I pray to god and I love my family. But everyday that I step out of my house as my true self, I get rude comments, snickers, pointing, looking at me, threats and more, where ever I go. And if that is not enough to put up with, try looking for a new job as a transexual?
IMHO it's fear.
People are scared that their own gender may be in danger. Gender is a very elemental form of consciousness and any threat to it may provoke a defensive or violent reaction.
Most of us here on this site have lived through this in our own way.
