Lately there has been a certain type of thread in this forum that has been very polarizing, it’s about transgender type issues.Albeit only a few threads of this subject have been started, they turn out to be what amounts to very heated debates, with two very well defined sides. Lately nothing comes close to getting as heated as this subject or group of subjects. I’m mainly address the side that doesn’t agree with the transsexual outlook on the subject.
While there re those who mildly disagree and just agree to disagree, there is a very large contingent out there that with lots of vitrial despises anything having to do with gender issues. There is a large group who thinks they have the answers despite only reading an article here and there or not even doing that. They base what they think on conjecture not bases on any scientific type reading. Even though they read little or nothing at all they think they know enough to have the answers or know it all.
This same group doesn’t seem to care what the transgender person suffers through when trying to act like what is expected of someone of their body sexual identity. That type of suffering often leads to depression, and attempted suicide. It often leads to mental breakdown. The anti tg side seems not to care even when it’s children suffering from gender dysphoria. Counseling in a way to attempt to cure this condition often leads to worse depression than when left alone and that person more likely to attempt suicide, I know that from personal experience of acquaintances.
This type of group that thinks this way is hellbent on making those live as their sexual identity and the heck with brain gender. What I’m looking for is why!!! Now I can understand when we are talking one’s only family members, but when it’s not some one related to you, why does it bother you SO much? If I’m the neighbor across the street, if I’m a fellow parishioner, if I’m in the wait staff at the neighborhood diner,tell at your bank. What makes one so uncomfortable around transsexuals? When it’s a stranger why does one even care! Ultimately is isn’t really your business.
In the last year 2 transsexual who run a suicide prevention hotline have signed an order to purchase 2 “ghost towns” in the state of Texas.(because thats the state they live in) With hope and plans to build up a transgender friendly community, where those with those type issues can be themselves without the consequences of discrimination and societal hatred that other minority type group have experienced in the past. Because of the present poor economy things are going slow, but it’'s being worked on none the less. This project has many in waiting for it to get off the ground, me included. Many people are going to have to come to terms with that mind and body are not always congruent, that where possible people are going to fix the body to be congruent with the mind and because the opposite is not possible. Ill be happy to transition in my home town of Grand Rapids Michigan, or in the future transition in Texas. Either way I’m going to get to be the real me. Which is Catholic, right to life, amungst other things , and female what my soul is not have to pretend to be male what I never was inside. Science backs me up, and the scientific method backs me up, and what people see when I’m in Stephanie mode backs me up. Either agree to disagree or or keep to your self. I rest my case. I can accept friendly understanding people who can disagree with out being disagreeable. I’ve had enough of those who think their 10 minutes of reading on the subject trumps my 30 years of studying the subject.

My prayers to anyone who is having to cope with this, and figure out the ‘next steps’ in his/her life.
