Very angry now, very angry indeed.

Well, aren't they just lovely.

I thought my mother was bad, I really did. But these whackjobs? Jeepers. Makes Mother Toad look like a normal human with feelings and maternal instinct and stuff. I've never been happier to have been raised by a Born Again Christian Cliff Richard fan!

i read that and fumed. i have a lj friend who is having trouble with her daughter who is having gender identity issues in the sf area. and then that? if it was anyone but lizzey they would be falling all over her being supportive.

hell, my tg friends knew at 3 they were in the wrong bodies. so i think that the whole comm is just picking on her and not reading the links she was so kindly given. ugh. just because she is known for drama mongering(and she is, unfortunately) she is dismissed offhand instead of taken seriously.

It's crazy stuff. I notice none of them replied to my question about whether they didn't know what gender they were until they were 18. Cowards. I clearly remember being about 4 and just knowing something was 'different' about me, something I could never articulate, and that was a concept as nebulous as something can be to a little kid. Gender identity is even more clear-cut than that, and I hate when people dismiss children out of hand because of some pathetic idea that they're just little stupid humanoid dogs or something.

yep. and because it is lizzey of course she is drama mongering. which sucks. at least she is paying attention to what her daughter, not her son, as so many of those snarky know nothing bitches ( a word i hate to use, btw) insist she call her child, wants and feels she is. if more parents paid attention to gender identity earlier in life, transition would be so much easier. hell, i went to a university where so many people in transition went because it was a safe haven and there were programs set up for counseling and to account for reassignment surgery and missed classes and all that- it was a wonderful thing. be tween that and the safe haven laws- no discrimination allowed in hiring based on gender, sexual orientation, creed, or ethnicity it was a pretty amazing place to live. it was one of the few places where in the late 70's/early 80's we had openly gay school teachers, poc school principals(and not just in areas that were largely black, but in the more affluent areas, mostly, which was not the norm in that area), and so much

What a bunch of bitches. It's all because it's Lizziey. And I think it's really sad that the OP apparently checks Lizziey's profile for updates to gossip about.

And thisiska (or whatever the name is) said six was too young to know you're the wrong gender. No, it isn't. She's another one who needs to learn a bit before posting.

I know! Like I said above, I notice she dodged my "Did you always know you were a girl, or did you have to wait until you were 18?" questioning. And then to turn round and say that I must be a bitter trans* person because apparently only one of 'them' could possibly care about a child being made the subject of disgusting gossip. Nnnnnngh. The rage was spilling over, I had to just get away from the laptop for my own good because I was seething. I had some bunny time instead. There's nothing like a fat, disapproving fuzzball to remind you what's important. Yes that's right, a full food bowl and some cabbage!

I know this is old, but I decided to check out your journal and I've gotta say, I love you for this, bb.
