Transgender Respect
Thousands of people around the world are discriminated, taunted, and humiliated for being transgender. Many people are too scared even to admit they are transgender. Nearly 41% of transgender females and males commit suicide because they are put down.
There is nothing wrong with being who you are, and if people have a problem with that, they are the ones with the real problem.
People change. They can do whatever they want, that is the right of freedom. Telling them that they can't become something is taking that right away.
My friend tried to tell her parents that she wanted to be a boy, and they were horrified. They said that she was disgusting for thinking such a thing, and that if she wanted to be a boy, then she would have to die and be reborn as one. She was heartbroken. She tried to commit suicide, but police got to her house in time and took the knife out of her hand. She was already bleeding profusely, and she had to be rushed to the hospital. She was kept in Urgent Care for nearly two weeks, along with rehab classes after she got out. Even with the horror of nearly losing their daughter, her parents still thought she was delusional. They soon offered her up for adoption, about three months after her attempted suicide.
She was quickly adopted by a loving husband and wife with two sons. They had her taken to a professional, and he said that he would do the best he could to reverse the female effects. She underwent surgery, and one week later, she was a boy. He was incredibly relieved that he could finally live his life as the person he really was.
That was nearly ten years ago. My friend is now married with an adopted daughter and living happily.
