Transgenderism

[PerseusRad]

With the recent Caitlyn/Bruce Jenner event, I decided that now would be a decent time to discuss this. Many people are angry or even afraid of the idea of transgenderism. This mostly stems from religion and ignorance of this topic. Now, most of us know that transgenderism is the feeling that your gender doesn't match your sex. Many people seem to think that those people need mental health. However, I as well as many other, see things from their side. These people's minds aren't the problem that needs to be "fixed". Instead, it is their body that doesn't match up with their mind. Put yourself in their shoes. How would you feel if you were told your mind is broken, when in fact you feel it is your body is broken?

Not good, is it? These feelings you may be feeling are what those people feel every day of their life. They're afraid of being abused for being "different" or "strange". So many people are unsupportive because transgenderism is something they don't understand. I'd like to hear your opinion on this subject.

Remember, while dissenting opinions are allowed, I will not tolerate extremely offensive remarks. If you phrase your arguments professionally, you should be fine.
