Here’s a fun fact that a lot of folks don’t realize - or at least, won’t accept - about transgendered people: for most of us, if we could just NOT be transgendered, we would. Although I hesitate to call it an entirely horrible experience in every way, it IS painful, troublesome, lonely and just generally unfortunate to have to be like this.

But if someone’s never been in a situation like that or had such feelings, how can they make a claim like that and call it fact?

Just some food for thought, I suppose.
