"It really annoyed me, my sister identifies as a boy, but is scared to tell anyone for fear of rejection. She wants to be seen as a boy but tells those that know to call her a girl and refer to her as a girl. It breaks my heart, that's why I'm referring to her as a girl now as its her wishes. I'm just hoping one day she will not fear what society thinks and opens up, I know it will probably be hard for others to adapt to her being a boy straight away and many will probably slip up and say she instead of he, but we'd soon get used to it. I am really passionate about transgender as a topic and doing my dissertation based on it, I'm hoping it goes well and whilst it won't be able to be generalised, I hope it will give me some faith in mankind." I give people the benifit of the doubt if they misgender me ,it's all about the attitude and tone of voice they use most of the time . I hope she finds the courage to be her true self whatever path she chooses .x and good luck with your distinction X | |||

"Sorry I missed the Caitlyn Jenner and gender debate yesterday but as a transwoman I just wanted to say thank you to the 99% of people who posted that actually understand the reality of gender. I'm afraid the OP is the daily reality of what it's like the majority of time in my daily life but I was heartwarming to read all the positive comments . The channel 4 programme last night , kids on the edge - the gender clinic is the reality for so many trans kids today and I hope reinforced the reality that we don't choose to be trans X " | |||

"It's weird, when coming across the posters before, they seemed like the last people on here to have those views. So I don't know if they were genuine. But I don't know what's sadder, them thinking like that or just saying it to get a reaction " I thought similar, maybe some present a façade and sometimes that slips.. OP, give those 1% not a minutes thought. Personally I would not give them the benefit or a response.. | |||

X " Whilst the vast majority on Fab may stand by her side, sadly the majority of the population are more akin to the bigoted homophobic views that one person inflicted upon us yesterday as any trans person already knows. To be fair to the media, the cause is getting more positive exposure than it ever did. It isn't that long ago the only thing remotely trans to be on TV was Little Britain. | |||

"I try to offer support where I can. Similarly to above, our son was born female and came out as trans in late teens. Luckily the fact we have such an open dialog in our family that it made it easier for him. He had already had queries about his sexuality and knowing his mother is bi meant that those kinds of discussions on sexuality were never taboo. So the conversations around gender followed as well. Was it hard? Hell, yes. But we stuck by him, and he is so much happier a person now. He is now at a point where he is very very unlikely to be mis-gendered in public. But, alas, the *average* person out there never encounters and never has had to question these sorts of issues. Did I, personally, know anything about transgender people beforehand? No. But I'd at least like to think I was a kind person regardless. Yesterday I had to opportunity to help someone who was negitively affected by that thread. I took that opportunity to do so. Hopefully that is one more supportive voice in their journey. Also, yesterday I had the chance to try and educate people on the original thread. The OP was a lost cause, but if one other person as a result learns at least one thing and hence less scared of what they don't know, then it will have done good. -Matt" Spot on | |||

"I am afraid that there will alway be a (hopefully very) small percentage of bigots in the world. Sad but true. We can only strive to make them understand that hate does not have a place in society." I'm of the opinion that once somebody has reached a certain age and is set in their views they're unlikely to change. People, especially 'neurotypicals', base their initial decisions on emotion then use rationalising and logic to back it up. Once it's got to that second stage it's too late. The hope is speaking to the people in the middle, those who haven't yet made up their mind. That's kind of what I meant in my earlier post. | |||
