I also think people really should just show them love. I don't know why that's so hard..

I'm really nervous about transitioning during school, because I feel a sense of homophobia in my school, so I have a feeling transphobia will happen. I'm probably better off waiting for college. :\

I do find it hard to understand why I have been referred to as a "homo" around school. I am young and I realize that I am feminine, I haven't been able to fully transition but I don't consider myself a "homosexual man" I consider myself a "heterosexual girl."

i think a lot of people have that difficulty associating gender identity as being an issue due to what they are taught by the common misconceptions of society and associate someone with gender identity as being homosexual when that is NOT the case.

places such as some churches frown on gender expression because they feel it is wrong and try to justify it based on old, outdated opinions, or soul opinion of the church pastor or congregation leader.

mosf of these opinions are founded on fear.
