Elliot Page
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!
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 was the hardest part of admitting you’re transgender? Why does being trans suck? Why is there more confusion about gender?
The hardest part of admitting I am transgender was admitting it to myself! Telling other people was easy. Plus two more questions!
Q: Is It Tough For You To Be Transgender?
There isn’t a simple answer to this question.
Open Letter to J.K. Rowling
With a Tweet, J.K. Rowling has sided with trans-antagonistic and -exclusionary views. I couldn't let this go without responding. I offer this open letter to Ms. Rowling.
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: What is the thing that confirms that you are transgender?
There is no one single thing, but a multitude.
Q: What are transgender people tired of hearing?
Hint, it's a lot!
Q: How can I understand transgender people?
If you aren’t transgender and/or haven’t experienced gender incongruence / dysphoria, the likelihood is you won’t be able to understand the transgender experience. But all is not lost!
