what she has said here is a good example of the things that happen in real life... but what gets me is that we give you so many real examples but you don't want to see them as being fact... some times it will happen.. and none of us not even normal men and women want to have a problem happen when they are in the bathroom.... brutal i applaud you for trying to be a good person, and seting aside your own opinion for a little to see the other side of things... as for the whole unisex bathroom thing.. think of it like this.. they may be getting a special privilege because that isn't the case atm, meaning they don't have them on campus, but out in the world there are so many bigots, raciest, sexist and so many other words. being as i am a tg person my self i don't want to be treated special, well not when it comes to that part of it *giggles* but my point is. out there were we have no protection right now. going in to a men's bathroom could get us killed. if we are in the wrong place.. and if we go in to the girls bathroom. and we don't look like a girl we can get arrested. it is as simple as trying to keep ourselves safe. but also as complex as trying to make ourselves feel like we are human and not some kind of animal that doesn't get any kind of rights. some of you are probably thinking i am going over bored and over simplifying it. well i might be. but i am tired of people saying we cant be a girl because of the way we look. or being a boy for the same reason. i have fought tooth and nail, to keep my sanity and not lose my self to all the societal norms. i in fact hid behind a mask, that all to many of us tg's and many bie's gay's and lesbian's do, to be able to live a normal life for a wile... well all it turns out that it was doing was killing me inside slowly. and i broke down and came back to who i was i threw away that mask, and have started to accept who i am. but now that that part is done i want to be accepted for who i am by others. and that may never happen, but i still want to fight for that. all people in the world want to be accepted, no mater what they are. but for the lgbt community, that fight is just as hard as getting equal rights for women, and black and any other kind of fight for rights, if not harder, because of all the people who want to spout some kind of scripture that vaguely apples. religion has its place. some one on the forum said it already, that this isn't a choice. we didn't choose to feel like we are of the opposite gender. people have said god made us the way we are.... so why change it... well think about that statement. god made use who and what we are, problems included, so if we are made as we are for the tg's that means we are made to be tg's, so we should do something about it to be happy. we cant just be expected to be hated, feared, pushed down and away, and or to end it, just because we are in a body that god made for us to start off with. we are meant to evolve otherwise who could we have gotten this far. sorry about my long post. but i have had lots of time to think about this, and little time to speak about it. *hugs to all* lil jenny
