I believe it takes great courage to question the nature of one's sexuality, face it head on and then actually go through what it takes to make that massive change.
Most of us will never know what that's like.
Imagine what it was like before we could address nature's mistakes. There was no surgery, no drugs. Just a life of lying to ones self and to the rest of the world.
Courage is running into a burning building and rescuing somebody. Dressing up like the opposite gender and having body parts lopped off isn't courage, it's insanity, but hey, it's a free country, so to each their own.
Not even close to comparable.
I'm glad we're past the ignorance of the dark ages when people who are simply different were chained to walls of nightmare institutions and worse.
I don't understand the intolerance, hate, fear but yes, to each their own.

wait a minute ludd.....running into a burning building to rescue someone is not even close to altering your body?.....did they redefine the word courage?....did i miss something?...you do realize that both deeds are the definition of the word......"the ability to do something that frightens one"....."strength in the face of pain or grief"...." mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty."...........
