Quote:I guess that's just a weird concept for me. If you're a guy, you're a guy. A girl is a girl. Black is black. Asian is Asian. White is white. A dog is a dog and a cat is a cat.


I don't care that people are different so much as it just doesn't make sense. I'm a very literal person in many ways. At times I see it as a disadvantage. In other ways I'm very open minded. It can be very confusing to be me. Lol.

 

You're thinking black and white in a world of grays. Do you not know girls who look and act masculine, or men who look or act feminine? I've heard many stories of boys who preferred playing with dolls over playing ball, and vice versa for girls. Is it that much of a stretch to think a boy may feel overwhelmingly that he should not only play with dolls, but also wear women's clothes, makeup and grow their hair long, from an age too early to attribute to exterior influences. Even that is an oversimplification.

 

Society strongly influences gender norms, and they have evolved over time. In past civilizations, and even other cultures currently, transgenders and transsexuals were not only accepted, they were and are considered special, even blessed. At the end of the day, all they want is to be who they feel they are.
