I don't have this opinion because I hate the transgendered - I just don't understand.
I am ignorant.
I saw no need to change my ways or thinking until I stumbled upon this video I present below. It made me think - it made me look at my own belief window and it started a process that is now on-going - that transgendered people are not weird or strange - just misunderstood. Perhaps I have attributed to the transgendered my discomfort with men wearing women's clothes - something that I attributed years ago to what would happen if I accepted being gay. I simply have no use for women's attire.
But this transgendered concept - that people could feel like they are trapped in a bottle that they did not choose - a gender on the outside and a gender on the inside. A mismatch of identity.
Perhaps in my own narrow view of this subject, that I did not stop to think that being gay is in a way a mismatch of identity - being male and desiring men - certainly a perplexing thing how nature can create life that does not seek reproduction. How is it that through no choice of my own that I would seek the love and comfort of the gender of which I belong - and how is this not different of someone who is of one gender on the outside and another on the inside?
I present this video as a catalyst of my own change of thought. Perhaps you might need this to open up your own thinking?
