Personally I have never given a fuck about social issues really. I have 0 problems with gay marriage etc...

I have a harder time getting behind transgenders though for a few reasons

Being trans is almost always a mental illness Having a mental illness/being trans leads to high suicide rates. Transitioning does nothing to change things. It doesn't change your gender and it doesn't make you less mentally ill, not to mention hormone treatment is dangerous and increased the risk on cancer... Besides all that it's just weird as fuck to me and I don't want a society where gender is like a fashion statement....

Now don't get me wrong I know people genuinely struggle with gender identity or whatever but I think they need psychiatric help, they don't need friends and family to be supportive, it only makes them more miserable in the long run.

If being trans was just like being gay where you are born like that I would be all for it but I don't see any evidence of that.

My sisters roommate just started transitioning from FtM and started taking hormones and I gotta say, it's hard to fucking watch. Her family thinks it's for all the wrong reasons and most of her support comes from Tumblr. I am almost certain she will regret it, it sucks seeing people make such bad choices...

Anyways, what do you guys think? Am I just a massive judgemental prick?
