Re: 14
Okay, attempting to explain this in simple words: What if she, however she acts, *feels* like a man? If she has always wanted to be or felt like she was male?
This may get me flamed a bit myself, but I kind of empathise with transexuals because, whenever one describes their experiences or identity issues, it reminds me of how I feel about being sterilised.
I want my tubes tied and my uterus rendered nonfunctioning to the point where I am willing to pay a doctor to have it done to me. Not because I'm "confused" and want to "damage" my body; because as a human being, what I think and what I feel determine what I am, not my cells. In my head, I am sterile. I have never imagined any future in which I have children. I regard motherhood with horror. I think pregancy is disgusting. I used to think that I should have twins, just to "get it over with all at once", before I figured out that I didn't have to get-married-and-have-kids-and-be-a-mommy. Every answer I ever gave to "what do you want to be when you grow up?" was something active -- kids were never in that picture, even though it took me years to realise they weren't in it. In my head I am a nonmother, and I want (I WILL) impose that upon my body as soon as I can talk a doctor into it.
If you believe in a soul, call it that. If not, call it the self -- whatever it is in human beings that lets us add up our emotions, logic, and experiences and make a decision or come to a conclusion about it. My soul/self isn't interested in motherhood. And my soul/self is more important, and a much greater part of "who I am", than my body. Bodies change all the time -- twenty years ago I was one foot tall; ten years ago I was blonde; last month I didn't have a visible waist; in twenty years my reproductive hormones will take a 180-degree turn; in forty years I might be blind. Inside all of that I'll still be "me". Time is going to change my body in drastic and often inconvenient ways; I don't see why I shouldn't change it in relatively small, pleasing ones.
