Back in August of this year I accepted that I'm actually Transgender. I've slowly been coming out to friends and family since then and so far everyone has been accepting thankfully. Even my boyfriend is okay with it. I identify as Gender Fluid, my pronouns are whatever he/she/they and I prefer the nick name I've always had anyways Chris, as its gender neutral anyways. I know that posting this on here is putting myself at risk for receiving a lot of flack, but after seeing other's do the same here I've decided that if other's can do it, than so can I. My LGBT therapist wants me to write/journal to help ease my Gender Dysphoria (just to clarify being transgender is NOT a mental illness), but the emotional distress experienced by someone who's body doesn't match how they feel inside CAN be severe enough to be considered a mental illness. I'm one of those people who actually suffer from Gender Dysphoria. I'm sure my therapist (for safety reasons) probably didn't mean for me to be writing about this publicly online but I feel its something I have to do to really get it off my chest.
For anybody who disagrees with the "transgender lifestyle" or however you want to address it, I'm all for an intellectual debate on the issue but if you're going to just troll or resort to profanity and straight up nasty bigotry then don't waste your time typing a response here. This is something I've been secretly struggling with for all 30 years of my life and I'm finally coming to terms with it and dealing with it. I don't need anybody's destructive criticism, I provide enough of that to myself, thanks.....
