I don't really know if I want to belong to this particular social group anymore. Too many drama queens, too many wannabe social activists who are determined to do everything they can to e as out of touch with society as they can, too much anger and hostility, too many cliques and just not really what I want at this point in my life.
I dunno. I'm starting to have my own theories about the trans community. When people go in, they're emotionally hurt because of all the garbage we have to put up with. They stick around, get the support and services and resources they need and that's when things change. Now they generally aren't psychologically troubled anymore and can move on with their lives. They have their own other issues and priorities and generally stuff to do and they move on to those things. The people who don't move around are the people who are still so troubled or horribly unpassible that they can't move on and, as a result, a lot of the trans community has some very psychologically troubled people. But, that's just personal observation; it varies from person to person and there are still a lot of really cool people there. That being said, I probably would have moved on entirely if not for the fact that my boyfriend needs his own support since he's really early on.
