My dream is that society in general will come to accept trans women as women first, transgender second, if at all. Again, I doubt it will happen in my lifetime, but it's my hope for future generations.

it would be nice, personally I would like to at least see people doing a bit of research into things before just knee-jerk attacking it.

With the Internet this should not still be the the normal reaction to something being different than what you are used to.

It's what I call, "bug mentality". 9 times out of 10, someone sees a bug of ANY kind other than maybe a butterfly, what's the FIRST thing they do?? KILL IT!! WHY?? Because it's way different from them!! Basically, because, to them, it's ugly!! MUST kill ANYTHING that's different or ugly!! They simply aren't taught that other creatures have every right to be here, too!! I can see smacking a mosquito, they have no qualms about biting us and possibly infecting us with some nasty disease, so, I have no qualms about killing them before they get the chance to do it!

hehe, I always find out what it is before deciding if it needs to be killed or not.

jumping spiders/grass spiders/wolf spiders for instance I leave alone aside from occasionally re-locating them, brown recluses/black widows I kill on sight.

There's something about transsexual women that really bugs most men. The most likely reason, in my opinion, is simply fear. One of the most basic fears of men is being tagged as 'queer'. It's been driven into boys heads from an early age, and reinforced throughout adulthood.

Ive done a good deal of research into the cause of that fear, a large amount of it in most cases comes from thier mothers & also from thier fathers who's mothers raised them to react that way.

as for the why, it is unclear but an Alpha complex does seem to be linked into it.

I have personally noticed that men who were not raised that way are far more likely to react with logic & intelligence instead of this mindless fear.
