The fact you need to be told this says a lot about you.

Who said anything about a circus freak ..... kinda weird those words are what you think about when you hear transgender.

It can be both insulting and a compliment when you consider the broader picture beyond just trans culture.

But I can still understand why a trans person who almost perfectly passes for their identified sex would still be offended by it despite the speaker meaning it as a compliment.

Although I have personally met more than a few trans folk who just shrugged it off giving a halfhearted thanks and chalked it up to "cultural differences". I think they realized in specific cases that kind of reaction from cisgender people was "as good as it was going to get"...

The funny thing about telling others to take the high road is how often it's hypocritical advice.

Do you identify as a man or a woman or transgender person? Its one of the three not two of the three.

I take great comfort with people in real life not knowing that i'm trans precisely because of the stigma that it carries with many, though them not knowing is also a very positive affirmation for me at the same time. I'm not quite sure I understand the article in the link, x.x
