I agree with GetMisted - You are pushing your experience on others or trying your hardest to compare it with my experience. There is no relation.

are there statistically more virgo transgenders?

Posted by GlaringTruthNo because I am always open and upfront about who I am.
Every time i saw a thread you created that thought came up in the back of my mind. Be safe out here. Violence against trans people is rough.
My question is have you experienced any retaliation/violence from a guy because he discovered you were trans?
Posted by hydorahNo, I dont feel that astrology has any relation to gender identity.

From your pov as a transgender, what are some feminine energies and masculine energies do you have, and if there has been a significant gap of prominence within you?
I believe every individual have both. With which has different amount level to each one of us.
And so does your transformation is a way for you to promote your feminine energies as opposed to masculine ones?
Does it have anything to do with your sexual preference?

Posted by P-AngelYea! People know what transgender is are but everyone including you curious about what's between legs!
Why would anyone have questions?
I think we all get what a transgender is, right?
Sounds to me like you have something to say, and so are trying to prompt people into starting the conversation.
I am wondering if it had been discussed already in one of 7 pages...

Based on what you said above, I'm inferring that you are saying that a vagina and breasts aren't what make a woman: menstrual cycles, wombs, and the act of giving birth do.
I am also disagreeing with your notion that that is what defines a woman.
Posted by CaramelizedCoffeeIf the transgendered individual is a woman, and she dates men, then she isn't gay - she's heterosexual.Posted by MilaniKissesIsn't being Trans gendered being gay. I mean you date guysPosted by MyStarsShineNo not at all. Kids identify their gender at a very young age. Look at Jazz Jennings. Her parents knew she was meant to be a girl from a very young age and she has now blossomed into a beautiful young woman.
A woman i know has allowed her teenage daughter to transition from female to male....the op didn't go too well. He is 15. Do you think that is too young to make such a huge change?
She tells me, he has started to wear eyeliner....
As for me, when I came out to my mom that I was transgender, she said "I knew already"... I think its one of those things as parents - they know if their child is gay or for this instance, transgender. Its just a matter of how accepting the parent is of knowing this knowledge and their support/love for their child.

If a man has erectile dysfunction, is he any less "real"? That argument is false intrinsically. Plenty of women have breast that don't produce milk - so the breasts aren't doing "what they are supposed to do." So, are they not "real women"? What of the women who are barren - their uteruses aren't functioning the way it's supposed to. Are they not "real women"?
What is more - why does it concern you whether or not she will ever feel about her body as you do? What is it that you're doing? Is this you feeling sorry for her that she'll never push one out through her vagina?

You're a man. That makes sense. Something off about your pic.
Wow
Sir, your comments are not nice and unnecessary. Your words are very ignorant and judge mental - As a black person, you'd think you would be more sensitive as transgender folks today are going through similar issues that blacks went through. I am not saying race is the same topic here, but sir, practice what your supposedly preach!
Similar Issues as blacks experienced:
*Bathroom Issues
*Judgement By Society
*Society judging straight men who date transgender women (Like the whole interracial issue from back in the day)
* Everyday hate crimes - Transgender folks get brutally murdered or beaten up for no reason except for the fact that they are transgender
* Being looked at as a lower part of society
* Constant torment from IGNORANT people who are closed minded and "stuck in the south"
Posted by -elle-Societal pressures?
I have to agree with Mona on her stance, and I'm not being rude or disrespectful. Why go to such great lengths (medication and physical surgeries)?
I understand societal pressures and the need to fit in but isn't this taking it to the end degree?
I also really don't understand the hypocrisy of this.
When someone speaks against ignorance of those having issues with this....this woman comes to mind.....
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/02/26/rachel-dolezal-white-woman-who-identifies-as-black-now-jobless-may-soon-be-homeless.html
....and it takes me back the thread where people were bashing her.
Why do we pick and choose who gets "accepted" into society or not?
When everyone should just live their life and not give two cents of what other people are choosing to do with theirs.
Personally, I do not care what anyone has in their pants, who they are screwing, who they identify with...it's all their own personal life journey. *shrugs*
Society pressures transgendered to shut up and to NOT go through such lengths to feel at peace with themselves.
The fact that people go through so much and risk so much hate, intolerance, judgement, and violence speaks volumes to how important it is to them to live their lives as they choose.

Based on what you said above, I'm inferring that you are saying that a vagina and breasts aren't what make a woman: menstrual cycles, wombs, and the act of giving birth do.
I am also disagreeing with that notion that that is what defines a woman.
If a man has erectile dysfunction, is he any less "real"? That argument is false intrinsically. Plenty of women have breast that don't produce milk - so the breasts aren't doing "what they are supposed to do." So, are they not "real women"?

I agree wholeheartedly with the defining of what makes a real man or woman - but your comment is aimed in the wrong direction. Have you noticed that everyone against the OP are the ones using the "real men/women..." argument?
If we don't accept people for who they are, how they look, choose to live etc, we are choosing to be prejudice. This is reverting back to the 60's and the 'no blacks, no dogs, no Irish' mentality

This is me x10000000000
I see where the OP is coming from and respect her life and views but I live by this.
So because I'm a man I have to dress a certain way? Be good at sports? Do "manly" things? Not wear what I want to wear? And because you're a woman you have to be "ladylike," a housewife, a chef, a professional cleaner, etc and god forbid you don't wear make up or dress "the part" of being a woman.
So if you don't fit into society's label of what a man or a woman should be then you're not a real man or a real woman—?? So you must transition?
This is my belief

Transitioning is the fight AGAINST societal expectations of what "a real man/woman" is.

Posted by MyStarsShineI know in some other countries, in order to get funds through insurance for operation, you go through intense and thorough psych evaluations before your granted the funds. I think in England and Australia...maybe new zealand.

Let your kid dress in the way they feel best, sure. But don't let them damage themselves irreversibly. Hormones are going crazy at those ages...best to wait until they grow into adulthood first.
A woman i know has allowed her teenage daughter to transition from female to male....the op didn't go too well. He is 15. Do you think that is too young to make such a huge change?

I have some transgender friends and acquaintances. One of my friends while transitioning dealt with a lot of flack from her manager at work. It was a very difficult time for my friend as she transitioned and sadly after a few filed complaints against the manager the employer stood by him instead of my friend.
My question Op is, while transitioning or even now did you face adversity in the workplace?
I find it very unfortunate and unfair how the trans community gets treated by many in society and how it's even sadder that some justify or encourage such mistreatment.

Posted by LillyPetalPosted by P-AngelI believe our inner selves deal with energy, both the masculine energy and feminine energy. It is not the same as how we predominantly feel. I mostly feel feminine, and so I am physically woman and it aligns and is in harmony. I can't speak about what it's like to feel feminine, yet have my outward appearance conflict with that. The only thing I can relate it to is the cognitive dissonance I experience any time I do something that goes against my inner moral values. Or, when people misjudge me based on my appearance - it is everyone's desire to correct someone else's misconception of him or her because it is important to humans to be seen as they wish to be seen and to be treated as they want to be treated. Heck, people are even proud of their astrological placmements and go through a process to know excalty what they are. Why not just choose the sign you most feel like and live by that? Why the need to correct people if they call you a Gemini when you're an Aries, for example? Identity is a powerful thing. Satisfying ones ego (ego has been stigmatized to being a dirty word) is part of human psychology and we all do it.Posted by LillyPetalPosted by P-AngelIt is very important to have harmony between our inner selves and our outward existence.
Your soul is androgynous ... the only thing you've accomplished is satisfying the ego consciousness.
How you appear to others, in form ..... has no meaning to the true self.
or whether it's to become physically a woman so that society treats you as you are.
Every person's inner self is both males and female ... the harmony existed before you were even born.
My thoughts remain ... I see no point in changing your gender to satisfy the ego, and especially not for the purposes of acceptance by society.
I've not met a person yet, who doesn't feel both feminine and masculine at certain given times and situations .. and that's because the soul isn't specifically gendered one way or the other.
I just don't see a rational reason for it, other than to prove something to others. If you know who you are, but, you're not going to live by that ... then what's the point of even having your life? ... if you're not going to live by the knowing of who you are, and you have to prove shit to other people to feel valued?
::::: shakes head ::::::
In the scheme of what's important in life ... gender is not one of them, specifying a particular gender is irrelevant.
Dismissing how society treats us as being irrelevant is reckless because, whether we like it or not, we are social animals and our identity isn't entirely our own. Part of our identity is shaped by how society treats us and the expectations it has of us. So, if an innocent man goes his entire life being treated as a criminal, he will carry a strong desire for the world to know he's innocent because only knowing it himself is not enough because how he's treated isnt in harmony with his inner knowledge of his innocence.
What do we say to people who have been born with both sexual reproductive organs? I can't pretend to begin to understand what the transgendered community goes though because I will never have to make such a tough decision. I'm sure most people would choose the easier path, the path that doesn't lead to societal outrage and discrimination or negative familial backlash. I certainly don't remember being asked if I wanted to be a heterosexual female.

I'm a woman and not a sir and i believe in trans rights and that you should do what you feel. I will always support minority groups especially when it concerns injustice not because I'm Black but because I'm human.

you're not a woman, i don't care how much estrogen you take, the boob job, etc
I have a right to my opinion.

@LilyPetal,
This was her opinion.
CC wasn't desensitized to the OP's decision to be transgender.
She just didn't agree with the OP's biological, scientific definition of a 'woman.'
Discrimination would be throwing the dogs at her, rocks, name-calling, bullying ,and taking away her civil rights....the list goes on.
To be honest, no one attacked the OP for being a transgender so far....just offered their own opinions as to what a biological woman vs a transgender woman entails.
I have seen much worse in regards to discrimination and bullying....and the OP has not witnessed any of it on this thread.
Trust me.
I have met racist people who couldn't give a rats ass about minorities. Do I care? No.
Why?
I don't crave acceptance from people.
As long as you're not attempting to take away away my Civil Rights, throwing dogs at me, or unlawfully arresting me, who cares what you think?
The OP, unfortunately, cares what people think....
