Transgender

So, some people don't feel comfortable in their own body. Not because they don't like how it looks, but because they think it is wrong. They feel trapped in the wrong body and everyone tells them to stay that way, stay in the place where they feel trapped all the time.

I wouldn't like that. Would you?

People who are transgender are people just like the rest of us. They love. They live. They laugh. They are no different. Please respect that. If someone you know is transgender, please support them as much as you can. Because my guess is they're having some difficulty with it. But they are still the same beautiful person you first met.

Here's something to start doing, because you never know how someone would like to identify: start asking for people's PGP (preferred gender pronouns) and then comply with whatever they want you to say.

Just remember we're all the same on the inside. We all love, we all hurt, we all laugh, we all cry. Just because someone's gender on the outside doesn't match their gender on the inside, doesn't mean they change when they embrace their true gender. They're personalities match completely. Because they're the same person. They are who they want to be. And whatever makes them happy is what they should do. They'll always be the same person on the inside.

If you are transgender, please know that you are loved and supported here.
