I remember when I first started hearing about transexuals in any actual detail I thought it was an aberration [I will never claim myself to have always been a rational man; that's only in relatively recent time] of psychology, something that was basically on par with a mental or emotional illness. Let's be entirely honest, however; there isn't much psychological information actually known and how I came to this conclusion largely is from misinformation spread via bigotry and ignorance and assumptions. I'd read something that said that people who underwent sex reassignment surgery came out of it feeling worse, lost, and confused; basically a "Well I'm here; now what??" kind of thing. And then come to find out later it's the opposite; the ones who undergo "counseling" against it end up feeling worse, not better, and the ones who go under the knife feel better.
How long ago was this, you might ask?
About three months ago.
Yeah, I only changed my opinion on transexuals that recently. ._.
In my defense, though, while I advocate change and progression I have to admit that I myself often take a bit of time to accept it, myself. Might be because I've always had to change and I've always had to change against my will so while I see the benefits I still have a bit of a dislike towards it. Holds true with physical situations AND mental and emotional ones, too.
Now I'm beginning to learn what a lot of trannies go through. I am not so arrogant as to say that I understand what they're going through, I can only learn about it but I'll never be able to related, nor would I be arrogant enough to do so, but...it sounds pretty harsh. There seems to be a ridiculous amount of misinformation and outright lies tailored towards making transexuals look bad in the sense of morality and it's really fucking disgusting.
Me, I'm not really into trannies. Just not my thing. But it is some peoples' thing and, really, it isn't hurting me, so why should I care if someone wants to change their body?
Would that everybody else could adopt that mindset, hm? We can dream, though, we can dream...
