Reply #13: Yeah, I imagine having your gender fucked with is a positive experience [View All]

Having your body parts lopped off because your parents can't "tolerate" that you look different is the same type of attitude that led to people "tearing apart freaks." Sadly, that's literally what happened: parts of her were torn off because she was considered a freak by her own parents

This, of course, looks past the fundamental gender identities at question here. Her parents decided who she was going to be, and then took irreversible steps to enforce that decision. This also looks past a more fundamental point - who's going to be looking in her pants to see that her genitals were different?

Don't you think it's better to work for a society where people don't "tear apart" people that look or act different then them, rather than surgically altering people to look "normal?" I know I'd rather be who I am then try and shed the things that make me different just to try and meet someone else's expectation of who I should be.
