Very strange, to say the least...Just Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15011627273687180475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544621986610962495.post-67484953577139801292013-02-16T16:21:56.163-08:002013-02-16T16:21:56.163-08:00Completely agree with you, Jen.

I'm a transsexual man and believe me, there ARE parallels on the ftm side. Loads of 'men' claiming to love their female parts and insisting that it's society's problem for not seeing them as male. I feel ashamed to be associated with them. People see transgenders like this and think we're all like that and that we're okay with 'identifying' as trans and we have a 'duty' to be open and promote 'visibility', rather than just the men or women we truly are.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12913328606959733276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544621986610962495.post-908079355320106182013-02-08T15:47:48.915-08:002013-02-08T15:47:48.915-08:00Dear Jennifer,

There are plenty of stresses of life like anyone else has, but with reference to "gender" it isnt even an afterthought. I'm at a loss as to what someone "dabbling" in cross-gender presentation would experience: does the pressing concern of 'passing' denote real FEAR or anxiety?, or does it mean you arent "getting away with" a practical joke? For people who may have a real need to be female, an unfortunate hand at genetics would most likely cause serious depression, and I could clearly understand why that would be. I dont live "out" by any means, this is NOT a town to do so in even if I wanted my business open for local consumption. Clearly, these dabblers find gratification in their activity, and no one should suggest that they ever transition. Why then would they attempt it and tell the WHOLE WORLD? What does it possibly accomplish?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392866929003087806noreply@blogger.com
