    I don't see why people feel the need to be absolutely cruel to trans people for no reason. It doesn't affect them in anyway yet they feel the need to say.

    - Being transgender is a mental illness.
    - Being Transgender is a "phase".
    - All transgender people are "trannys" or "shemales".
    - Transgender people are freaks or are still the gender they were physically born as.

    Iv already had one person say I'm "not a girl" just from telling them that i feel i may be trans NOT EVEN 100% SURE YET. And i seen a video in my recommendations on youtube called something along the lines of "Transgender isn't real your feelings are lie" and i guess it's a video about someone who thought they were trans who years later regretted it. And that that is enough reason to say EVERY transgender male/female is wrong about who they are and how they feel. And people being horrible about the whole bathroom situation and saying "there still boys i don't want trannys in my bathroom" and stupid ignorant sh*t like that. Several of my friends wo iv talked this about say that i need to have a full on sex change to be a women and that if i don't I'm "not technically a women" and that gender is completely physical.

    I'm really sorry about ranting but this sh*t pisses me off to absolutely no end. It's f*cking horrible and it needs to end.

    The main reason behind their hate is ignorance. I'm tired of all the ignorant and hateful comments.

    Most of them are just people who are afraid of being wrong.

    Which if you think about it, isn't all that different from any of us.
