I think deep down everyone really knows that it is impossible to actually change your gender...they just don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, which is understandable, but my god, it’s absolutely mind boggling the people who say when you do this you actually become the opposite gender, like if they squeeze their eyes together and click their heels together it actually happens. No, you’re still a man. I can strap some antlers to my head and go run naked in the woods, but that doesn’t make me a deer, no matter how much I feel that way, haha. The truth is tough sometimes.
I’m not in a position to make people who do this feel bad either, so I’m not going to be constantly saying to them, “you’re really a dude”, but I’m sure the majority of people are thinking that.
These people are mentally ill, and I’m not saying that to be a mean person...it’s obvious with the high suicide rate with people who deal with this gender confusion. But it is absolutely mental illness. It doesn’t make anyone a bad person obviously, but there is definitely something wrong here.
I think a lot of liberals are being hypocritical with this issue as well, because these people who are trying to become the opposite gender are only becoming what they feel the stereotypical version of the opposite gender actually is, which liberals should have a problem with, but, hey...politics goes beyond all logic.

Very interesting post sut6432. I too would never be mean or confront a transgender with nasty remarks. Man or woman, they are still human with feelings after all.
But this illness or condition makes me sad. I recently saw my first transgender person up close. I was in a store and it was almost empty. I heard two people talking in the next aisle. One was clearly a man's voice. When I went around the corner, I saw he was in a dress and black stockings with very poorly applied make-up. I'm sure you'd know what I mean. He looked like a guy going to a costume party as a woman and he had on lipstick and rouge.
This person was with a woman and later I saw them in the parking lot. I could not help but think, "How sad."
What drives a man to put on a skirt and garish make-up thinking that people will take him for a girl? There is something seriously wrong and sad going on here.
I remember reading Bruce Jenner(when he was still Bruce) saying that he wore pantyhose under his suits to feel feminine. And he couldn't wait to wear nail polish all the time.
I know women who hate pantyhose and never wear them. But they are STILL women. On the other hand, (no pun intended), I have been painting my nails since junior high but that doesn't make me female. I just like having long manicured nails.
The outer "stuff" whether it's long hair (I have that too), make-up or pantyhose don't make you a woman.
In contrast, I know women who totally eschew make-up and nail polish and have short hair to the point that it looks like a buzz cut. But they are still female.
There is definitely some mental illness at play here and to just deny it so you won't be considered politically incorrect is cowardly.

I pretty much agree with you and sut.
I don't even know who this person is, I just saw it in trending and I thought uh oh!
But I'll even take it a step further and say it's demonic possession.
Many decades ago the men in white coats would be taking these people to go get help. It's so sad how they've dragged society into their fantasy and we're supposed to play along or else were are considered the one with the problem. Very wrong.
Many years ago when my nephew was maybe 4 years old, the other side of the family has a man who has been dressing up as a woman (years before my nephew was even born)...that little boy approached him and just came out and said "Are you a man or a woman???!!"
Out of the mouths of babes!! Even THEY know when something is wrong.
I know 3 people living a lie like this. I don't hate them or mock them. It deeply saddens me and I pray for them.
