Quote:I wasn't aware that expressing a belief or an opinion was showing ignorance. I don't think it's possible for folks who are not transgender to fully understand what it is to be that way. You certainly can try to educate someone but they're not going to understand it anymore than transgenders understand straight folks. 

 

This isn't something you learn about from a book or a seminar. According to them it is something a person is just as a black person it black, an American Indian is an American Indian, a redhead is a redhead, etc. People can certainly try to see the transgender POV but again, it's not that simple. I honestly don't care what gender people choose to be outside of what they're physically born as, but I don't understand the why of it. Science teaches that chromosomes makes up who we are and that is not a lie. How the psychology of it comes into play is beyond me. In saying this would you consider me ignorant?
