For those saying trans people are mentally ill, well, they are. The illness is a form of Body Dysmorphia and it manifests as a deep feeling of being trapped inside a body that doesn't suit how you feel about yourself, in this case gender. You were born a man or woman but feel your entire life like you should be the opposite. That feeling can lead to things like depression, suicidal ideation, self harm and other issues like problems socializing or finding a partner or engaging in sex with that partner.
The cure for most of these people is transitioning their body to match their self image aka becoming Transexual. These are just people sorting their shit out in the best way that works for them. Being "phobic" of that or mocking them or whatever seems just as stupid and cruel as racism and sexism IMO.
Besides that people are judging transexuals based on imperfect medical science. In some high tech future the transition between sexes will be all but flawless, likely down to a genetic level where trans people will have functioning reproductive systems and be physiologically indistinguishable from a person born as their chosen gender. The process may even become reversible to the degree that people are able to transition between sexes multiple times in their life. I hope by then the human race will have matured out of hating people because of their differences.
Y'know there's a whole sub for this type of post: s/reddithasfallen
Now I'm just picturing the balls it would take to produce man milk that could be labeled as a "huge swath". You got the syndrome Angus?
So edgy. You suck your dads dick with that mouth kid?
Awww, show me on the doll where the BBC touched you.
