It'd probably be constructive to ignore the people you feel are shutting you down TC unless you want your thread to devolve into a hostile back n forth over whether you're genuine or trolling with your initial question Yes, youre right. PlantBased posted... You were at odds with the world over how you fit in (or did not fit in) as a black person. Trans people are at odds with how they fit in in their own body. Sure, I believe I understand that. But I had to overcome my feelings of not fitting in by accepting it. Maybe theres not an answer and the previous poster is right, but I guess Im not understanding the strong need to forcibly correct that lack of fitting in with ones body, is all. CommonStar posted... Because they don't feel right in the body they were born with. Not every trans person transitions and the decision to do so isn't a thing they take lightly. Being stuck in the body they don't feel is them while being treated by everyone accordingly to that body and not how they want to be treated every waking moment of their life seems pretty awful, no? I guess thats something I cant necessarily go through. Eventually, me being black doesnt affect me as constantly I think. I guess its always that question of what does feeling like a man feel like. Like, Im a guy. But I couldnt exactly tell you what it feels like. Im just a guy because the world says I am. Maybe that nuance is what Im lacking to understand. --- A show of kindness may not do much help, but a show of cruelty may do much harm. <cite>cuttin_in_farm posted [p:964800482] in Can I ask ...
