So, just to prove the point, here's some "random" thoughts I've had about being trans...
- I wish I was dead!
- Transitioning is the best decision I ever made.
- Why must you be so needy? If you keep on taking, soon there’ll be nothing left!
- There is no ‘real’ me. The ‘real’ me does not exist. There’s only a “me” I prefer to be. And I prefer to be this.
- How do I make being trans work for me?
- I love being trans sometimes!
- What is the ‘real’ me? The ‘real’ me is what I see and my memory.
- Trans people who step away from the fight to make life better for other trans people really annoy me!
- I don’t want to swap one straightjacket for another.
- Just because things are great for you doesn’t mean they are for everyone else!
- Did you transition just so you could be congratulated for doing so?
- Why must you be so self-absorbed? Can’t you see I’m suffering here!
- I didn’t choose to be a transsexual. It’s not like I woke up one morning and thought, “What I really need in my life is to be ridiculed, misunderstood and hated!”.
- It’s better to be hated for being truthful than being loved for being a liar.
- All publicity is good. Even bad publicity can be used for good.
- Damn, I look good!
- The word “normal” promotes discrimination. As soon as you label something as “normal”, you automatically label something else as “abnormal”.
- Some trans people don’t want to be involved in trans activism in case it outs them as trans. It’s ridiculous! I don’t shy away from civil rights for fear it outs me as white!
- If you know something is unjust why would you not try to right it? Just how selfish do you have to be!
- When people say they want to be “normal”, I wonder what makes them think they’re not already!
- Of course you have the right to live your life as you see fit but that doesn’t mean you have the right to live it uncriticised.
- Why are some trans-activists so egotistical? If I help people it’s simply to help them out not to boast about it afterwards!
- I don’t wear women’s clothes. I wear my clothes!
- I don’t know how to cope with being trans.
- Some trans women say they want to distance themselves from the LGBT community to go lead “normal” lives. It’s like they think lesbians aren’t leading “normal” lives or something!
- Being trans doesn’t stop me being human.
- This is a dream come true!
- We trans people are pioneers. After all, very few people will have a clue what a trans person is let alone met one!
- The word “trans” relates to me the same way it does to the Atlantic Ocean.
- Perhaps I ought to get a job at Funny Girls??
