Why did you want to change gender?

I am guessing it is you who has been asked??? My answer is that it is my right to take care of my mind and and my body and no other person's right to judge and interfere. Given the fact that someone suggested it is a mental illness, does not suggest a qualified dialogue on an intellectual plane.

Hope this helps Sarah.

I'm okay in the head.  It's my body that isn't in line.  Is that too hard to figure out, os ain't you right in the head?

Glad you are fine in the head like me....

I guess if you had added a couple of words...

I met my first anti-transgender <b>(WHO SAID)</b> I’d be interested to know why you wanted to change from male to female, was it because you enjoy wearing womens clothes or was it because you’re not right the head? genuinely interested to know.

It would have much more clear love... xxxxxx

OK... my body is same - not in line. I apologise for misunderstanding. English is my First language that I edit in and teach.... Maybe it is late at night and we can all miss out some useful words love. xxxxx

I'm fine in the head and it wasn't because I just enjoyed wearing women's clothes. I've always known I was a woman even when I was young so wearing women's clothing was natural.

I can understand that. It is the same with me. The clothes just conform as opposed to a fetish. Just something normal.

Sarah:

Gender is an innate quality in the same way that sexual orientation is an innate quality. This is why reversion therapy does not work. You can't change what is a part of you. Being transgender or being gay is not because something is wrong with you because it isn't.

Anything that is done socially or physically to transition is done with the idea of reconciling ones physical being with mental perceptions. However, recognize that everyone doesn't need to do this.
