Basically, keep it happy and leave little space for dissent.
Q: Our daughter would like us to tell her Grandparents that she is transgender. Do you have any tips? / How can a 3-year-old know their gender?
Q: Why is gender reassignment surgery advocated to be “required” for health insurance purposes, but “not required” for legal purposes?
The term I think you mean to use is “Medically Necessary”. Whether a medicine or procedure is medically necessary is a question best left to the patient and their doctors.
Q: How early do transgender individuals know they are transgender? Do transgender people feel like they were born the wrong sex or the wrong gender?
Every person’s experience is different; there isn’t a universal answer to this question. Further, there are different ways to interpret the question which can lead to vastly different answers.
Q: Is it better to be a man or a woman? What do you think about gender change? About the trans community?
Lots of questions about my opinions. I have answers...
Q: My daughter is considering changing her gender, I don’t agree with her decision, but I want to support her because ultimately it’s her life. What else can I do?
So she might not be a girl. It isn’t the end of the world, not for her, and not for you.
Q: How does it make sense for me to think I could possibly be a transgender with such masculine traits and interests?
I carefully cultivated masculine traits and interests to prove my masculinity and thereby disprove that I had any femininity.
Q: As a trans person, do you consider gender important?
I suppose it’s like socks — for the most part, we put them on and forget about them, and everything is fine, until it isn’t.
Q: How does it feel to not identify with your assigned birth gender?
Not identifying with your assigned gender is one of the worst feelings I’ve ever suffered. I have never experienced any amount of physical pain which even comes close to the psychic pain. You don’t fit in. You might not even know why. You feel different, but don’t have any words to describe how or why.
Q: How does one explain gender dysphoria to cisgender people when they don’t understand?
For those who have never experienced it, no description will ever suffice. For those who have experienced it, no description is needed.
