My sister had the courage to post this. She was not well educated but had the fortitude to learn and post her experience.

<!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! I am not sure if I'm allowed to add this but I can't be bothered to read the comments for the sake of brevity.!! You can also link to the original comment instead of the comment itself.! Yes, I can link to it but it's a bit too long.! I don't know if I can do that for every post.! The sub has become a cesspool of transphobia.! Please don't participate. < |

<!!< !!pop! < !!! !!! -!!-!!!!^!!~!!!!!!~~!! *This is a great way to get people to realize that they are wrong and have no idea what they're talking about.!! What if we were to take the same ideas from the last 2 years, but instead of calling them out we would call them out for being so stupid and wrong?!! This is not a bad thing, but I don't want to be the asshole and say "Oh, you know, you're wrong. You're right."!

I'm a trans man and a woman. I'm just really happy I have the ability to talk about trans people without being called transphobic. I know some trans people who are really sad because of their struggle to be seen as an equal partner and it's really really good to hear this

It's kind of hard to find stories that tell the story of someone who survived as a sex/gender nonconforming individual. And as a non-binary person in the UK, I'm kind of surprised to see that a lot of trans people survived well. I can't find any stories like this, but there are lots of stories like this about nonbinary people who identify as different from the general population and often have to deal with violence, bullying, and sexism in the UK. And of course, it's important to note that many of the stories about these people are from the UK, as many nonbinary people will feel less comfortable speaking English.

I know for sure the most heartbreaking part is when you know it was an intersex baby or trans woman that survived and you’d be crying in pain when the news said she’s dying in Scotland. But to think that an intersex baby can’t be in the UK because of some law enforcement has a sad streak, which I find disgusting, I mean really the law is not a huge thing and it’s definitely a stupid law but the trans community doesn’t have a huge range of legal options.

I was recently posted about my transgendered and intersex (Trans-ex) experiences, and Im so glad to share the stories of my own personal journey of self discovery and love with others. I am a 40+ year old British woman, and am also happily exploring my sexuality and identity with my intersex and non-binary partners. I was always comfortable with the idea that I could be truly happy and fulfilled if I could be a man, a woman, or something else, but I didnt really enjoy my sexual identity or identity at all until recently. For some time I was very open about my identity and sexual orientation, but I always felt insecure about my ability to enjoy a career in healthcare or in law, which is often associated with being a woman, and the idea of being a lesbian attracted to men intrigued me. I was also very much a 'passing' person, and I was very comfortable with the fact I could be truly happy with my sexual identity and identity at all times. But recently Ive been feeling more comfortable about my identity and sexual orientation, and Ive been finding it increasingly difficult to maintain that confidence. So, for the last few months, Ive been actively exploring the idea of being a man, and Ive been finding really wholesome, loving stories of transgendered and intersex people sharing stories of love, joy and survival in the UK. One of the stories I have heard is about a 40 year old man, who was having a really tough time maintaining his identity as a man, and decided to take a break from his job and enter the sex industry. He found a really loving partner, and hed become much more confident and outgoing as a result. Ive also heard of a trans man who has had a really difficult time maintaining his identity as a man in his 30s, and decided to become a women. I hope you enjoyed reading about my trans and non-binary experiences, and I wish you a safe and happy journey! Also, I would really appreciate feedback on how I wrote this. I wanted to express myself honestly, and in a way that wasnt necessarily 'hurtful' to anyone involved. And I felt very free to have fun with it too, which I think is a good thing!
