Transgenderism

My 2 cents in this is the same I take with most societal issues in general. Society is scared and blind to anything outside of the 'normal', they will refuse to accept it for as long as possible. They did with civil rights and racism, they'll do it with transgender people and gays, lesbians, etc. I am one for choices, if they want to dress that way they can, it's their life. No one else is hurt from it! WHO CARES SOCIETY? I always have gone by my personal point of view of society, I am not going to try to fit in with society, if society fits in with me fine, if not, I don't much care, I am who am I and I dont care about much else. People in general put so much emphasive on what others think of them, which can be very stressful. First of all I think someone should just be themselves and not go to huge lengths to fit in. I don't and I feel my life is much better that way! If society fits with me, fine, if not all well.

I will say that I am happy things have gotten this far, as far as getting awareness and legal stuff out there. A person in my class is transgender, he is very smart and cool... He will put you in your place too if you want to bully him too. No one in the school except for the occasional ignorant kid judges him on anything, because they probably put in thier place along time ago. Good for him! That is what more people need to do... Stand up to that bully... Call him out in front of his friends, stand up to him/her.

This will take time for the blind, narrow minded society to accept, but like civil rights and race, they will get over it and learn to live with it. Trans gender people have a will made of steel and should be given a medal, standing up against society is not easy, but by doing it your doing your part a to make the world better place. Point: Don't let blind narrow minded society dictate who you are, be YOURSELF, if society don't like it... TOUGH!
