A: “Oh dammit, then I transitioned for no reason whatsoever!”
Q: How do you respond to someone who says gender dysphoria isn't real?
Q: When should I tell someone who I have met that I am transgender? What about potential sexual partners?
Whenever and if ever you deem it safe and appropriate. You don’t have to disclose.
Q: Can hormone imbalance cause gender dysphoria? What about a traumatic past?
That isn’t likely. Hormones don’t cause our internal sense of gender - that’s something that is innate (built into us).
Q: Do trans people realize that they are just throwing away a gift from nature?
By being transgender, a person isn’t throwing away a gift from nature, they are embracing that gift!
Q: Why does society encourage trans people to transition rather than finding a simpler solution to their unfortunate dilemma?
Everything about society is set up to discourage trans people from transitioning, yet many still transition. This should be an indicator of just how important and how necessary transition is for those who pursue it.
Q: When did you start to crossdress? Which dressing room should you use?
I’ve been a cross dresser nearly my whole life. I've only recently stopped.
Does a person need Gender Dysphoria in order to be transgender?
It seems straightforward, right? It's a yes or no question, so the answer should be one of those options. But as with so many other facets of gender and transgender experiences, the real answer is "it depends on your point of view".
Q: What are the strangest things you feel dysphoric about?
Dysphoria itself is sometimes strange to me, so it’s hard for me to judge the relative strangeness of various aspects. So here’s an incomplete list…
Letter to future Me
This is my 100th post, and it also happens to be Valentine's day. To commemorate these occasions, I've done something different - I wrote a love letter of sorts to the Me of the future.
Q: Would it be wrong if I legally changed my gender to female in order to get free drinks and cover waived on “ladies night”?
Maybe just recognize that being transgender isn’t something to make light of. And pay for your own damn drinks - as someone else pointed out - it will cost you a whole lot less money.
