The plight of the oppressed male????? HUH??

Fair use capped from one of our favourite trans sites!

Many might read a post such as this and think WTF? But actually this is fairly typical of both male and female trans persons. There is an ignorant assumption (likely due to the trans rose coloured glasses aka BDD) that all will be perfect (magical?) once the “transition” is “complete”(currently no such completion is possible medically).

There arent any classes or courses in “how to act like a REAL man or how to act like a REAL woman” for the post trans person. Something that eases them into a life as a different “sex” as it were. There is the ignorant or perhaps apathetic assumption made by the ME that once the trans person “transitions” the trans person is “cured”. Because after all logically if one REALLY is a man or REALLY is a woman and the ME merely has to “correct” the “wrong” outside, both Mtfs and ftMs would quickly adjuct to what they have lived all along, only with a “body” that “matches”. Except thats NEVER the case, is it.

No. Instead we see post after post after post of disordered men and women whom after the high of “transitioning” has worn thin or off completely and the reality they thought was real fades into the distance only to be replaced by actually reality, we see unhappiness at best, depression (even suicidal) at worst. As we see so clearly illustrated here with this woman.

She thought through the blur of her disorder life as a man was going to be idyllic. She has suffered (like many an ftM) sexual abuse as a child, her self hatred as a result of the child abuse later turned her to prostitution (a high statistic of sexually abused females). Through controlling men with her body (prostitution) she likely reclaimed a certain amount of power she had lost as a child victim. Her “transitioning” is likely a further extention of searching for a greater power the power of ownership of the male body itself.

As a “man” she would have power, be powerful, she would be heard and listened to, but sadly instead she finds being a man isnt all that its cracked up to be. It comes with its own set of problems, problems that she as a woman could not understand and remains ignorant and afraid to confront.

Like all trans persons, she has simply traded the prison of one role in exchange for the prison of another and is too afraid to live as she wants in either.

Umm remind me again what any of this has to do with lesbianism??????
