In the psychological level, I am a woman, but not because I want to fit 'girly' stereotypes. I just am, you know? The way you're born with a sense of male-ness (for lack of a better word), I feel female in that sense. For the physical side, I feel as though my sex organs aren't what I should have, and I feel great discomfort dealing with the fact that I don't have breasts or a vagina.

Going off on a tangent here; hormone therapy is really great. It redistributes fat to the breasts and hips and butt so you get a natural pair of breasts and figure etc. Surgery is very sophisticated too. They turn the tip of the penis into a clitoris and you experience female orgasms (I warned this would be TMI, haha). Hoped this answered your questions.

Or you can drink a lot of beer and not exercise. My breasts are getting supple and my curves pretty hot for a white dude.

You actually seem to care an awful lot about how society views you:

...etc.

To wager a guess; you feel rejected, so you've created a post hoc justification for your perceived rejection. Shakespeare has a relevant quote (link)

I find him fascinating. I still can't tell if he genuinely holds the views he espouses or if he's just permanently a devil's advocate.

^^or maybe that he's just bored and this "persona" is his way of having fun

Sounds a lot like body dysmorphia. I can't imagine a Disney character amputating healthy limbs. While I sympathise personally with the mental anguish that this must cause I am also uncomfortable with the idea of normalising a mental disorder as a lifestyle choice.

Just out of interest what would be the effect of taking male hormones? Would that mitigate the feeling of being the wrong gender?

I don't know who it was but they said something along the lines of causing confusion to children and they really wouldn't understand until they were a bit older. I don't see why it has to be put in disney films. Its not like its nessesary for them to know. Many people know their not 'normal' at very young ages or want to be of opposite sexes at young ages, I don't see the harm in allowing them to do what they want, but there's no real reason that transgender transitions should be showed by disney.

I don't get this. Whats the point of putting a transgendered child into a Disney film? If you have a transgendered child, or think you do, and you don't want them to be persecuted, move out of the Bible belt where those anti-science nutbags thing its a curable thing.

Disney isn't going to help you.
