94. This isn't about happiness or unhappiness
Edited on Mon Jul-20-09 09:15 AM by LynneSin
What don't you get about that.

This is about someone who was born a girl but indentified as a boy all of his life. This is an actual defined condition, not just some whim of the moment. Transgender is real and the solution for those who are transgender is ultimately switching to the sex that they feel they should be.

This is no different than homosexuality. No one decides they want to be gay or straight - they just are gay or they are straight. Well for some people they are born of the wrong sex. If someone is gay they form relationships with someone of their own sex. If someone is straight they form relationships with someone of the opposite sex. This boy feels that he should have been born a man and therefore will make the changes needed to be a man.
