Well, why do people even need to become Transgender then, there's so many prosthetics out there for men and for women. What I don't understand is someone becomes transgender to then be gay, like they already liked that gender it befuzzles me.

That's not why people become transgender mate. It's a sense of identity that conflicts with what you're born with.

And then you have tumblr fanatics calling themselves trans because it's trendy.

Alternatively, it can be a sense of identity that conflicts with societal expectations of gender. In the first place, different cultures have different standards for gender, so your standards for what makes a male could be considered insufficient in another country and you'd technically be transgender, there.

We even do this in our own cultures to some extent when peers call each other "***got" or "bitch" for behavior that isn't expected of their gender in an attempt to demote them from being worthy of their gender (or whatever).

i have to admit i'm guilty of this

posting on ultra-liberal sites like this one makes me a bit more self conscious about it but i guess my views really aren't as progressive as i usually assume they are. i guess i'm progressive in comparison to the majority of my peers irl, but compared to most of you i'm not.
