I dont have a problem with them being themselves.The whole transgender mentally ill debate is very interesting to me. Whether or not you believe theyâre mentally ill, itâs easier to change your body to fit your mind than your mind to fit your body, no? If it makes a person happy to transform into the gender they were not born as, Iâve no problem with it bc chances are it has nothing to do with me and wonât interfere with my life.
Seven or so years ago I had a classmate who was transgenderâwas born a man and changed (sex change and all) into a woman. None of us knew until she chose to reveal it to us via a class project. I donât even know if a transphobic person would have known she was born a man, and hereâs the thing: she used the womenâs restroom and no one was the wiser. I certainly didnât think anything of it even after she told us the truth about herself.
I empathize with the struggle of a transgender person. Luckily the woman this lady married as a man accepted her sex change and they were able to stay married. I can only imagine the emotional rollercoaster of that kind of situation.
Mentally ill or not, we canât do brain transplants so changing the body is the next best step.
But when they start asking for special rights and stuff?
I also dont like how society normalizes it.
