It actually is an illness. Alot of trans people think that saying that is insulting, but im on the other side.

There are just so few people who actually talk about it, and even fewer that actually transition (takes balls). The general public considers it very taboo, mostly because of lack of education.
Im not really one of those rainbow flag waving sillies. Im pretty private about it (except obv. online). I prefer to separate myself from 'the community'.. because I dont want to get hated on. Did you hear about that poor transgirl that got jumped and killed in NY last week..? Yikes. Thank god I pass. (My fellow tranny friends hate my view on this). ~

Its taboo because you get your penis medically removed man...it has nothing to do with lack of education, its an intensely extreme act on a body part that people are highly interested in.
Also, if you are choosing to separate yourself from a community because of fear of being hated, that seems rather cowardly. You have the balls cut off your dick (perfectly worded) but like the courage to identify with a group you took such an extreme measure to be a part of? This all seems rather confusing.
And about the transgirl getting killed, I abhor the use of force on any human being when it is not done out of self defense whether it be a child, a senior, a gay person, a transgendered person, a ****** etc etc so the mere fact that this was a transgendered person is not the sad thing in this story, its the fact that an innocent life was taken by a psychopath.
With all this being said, I would gladly be your friend irl and carry no shame or apprehension going out with you and having some beers and talking like I do with my gay friends, straight friends etc.
One thing is for certain, transgendered people might be fucking insane but at least they aren't boring and ill take insane over boring any day of the week.
