but I'm old, okay... but I DO know more than a couple of trans people. They are my friends. I stand behind them and beside them. They are good people. They are only trying to live their lives to the best of their ability to stay true to who they are inside. They aren't trying to change the world. They only want to live who they are, inside... who they've always been inside, their whole lives. Who are we to deny them this?

Did you know you were male or female from you earliest aware moment? How? Well... so did these people. The only problem, their outside didn't match their inside. It was a cosmic joke of the most horrible kind.

I'm sorry... as far as I'm concerned, my best friend is much more feminine than MTG could ever hope to be. And supposedly, she was BORN female. Of course, I've not seen her birth certificate. At this point, I dare her to prove it to me.
