Last i remember, vert said this will aolve several major problems in his life.
I think acceptance to this lifestyle shouldnt overshadow the fact that he has labled himself as this type of individual.
What PC starfishs are always crying about. Like its not ok to seperate people by a steroetypical identity, but those very people can play that attention grab card themselves.
Its great if hes happier. But dont feed the "hero", because it took him this long to make a decision. If this is the hardest thing in his life right now, hes either lucky, or has no life yet.
Nice to see vert back though
The fact that society has become so dependent on labels isn't the fault of the people being labeled, it's a fault of the way humans perceive other humans and interact in an organized world. I'm not out to get rid of this system or defy it, I'm only switching to a new label which more correctly defines me so that's easier to merge into a world of categorization. It's not a grab for attention (at least not in my case) it's an attempt to slide into place with everyone else.
The reason I post about it here is cause I'm excited about it, I don't want to be treated like a "hero" and I don't feel like anyone is, I'm just a user from the community who is finally making something of themselves. This certainly isn't the biggest problem I have in my life period, only it's the biggest problem I have with myself mentally. I have plenty of problems in real life that actually post threats to my health and well-being.
Thanks for not being a richard about it. I'm glad to be here.
i am not really supportive of vh's decision on the transformation.
The usage of the word
transformation is incorrect and I hate seeing it because it's not accurate and it breeds confusion. Sure my body is changing from the hormones, but I have not "transformed into a woman" once it's all said and done, I have "transformed my body into a more feminine one."
Presenting as the female gender != Defying biology and the laws of physics to shapeshift into a full fledged legitimate woman. I fully acknowledge that I will never be of the female love, with functioning ovaries and a womb, and I'm not claiming that I can. Sure there may be trans men and women out there who feel they are truly of the love which they identify, and if they're happy then I can't change the way they think and I leave them alone, but it's just not true and I'm not that deluded. It's simply a grasp for normality, trying to feel like my body and the way I'm treated reflects me as a person correctly. I'm not a special snowflake, though, and I'm not expecting special treatment; I'm only hoping the people who care about me will understand, as I would do for them.
