Why I'm Trans... According to My Egg Donor


Jackie C.

So, since I came out to my egg-donor in 2018, she's been in denial. While I've cut off all contact, by wife still has to work with her so stories trickle back home. I'm apparently living in her head rent-free and I'm a noisy tenant. Because she can't accept who I am, she keeps coming up with theories as to why I think I'm really a woman. Her rationale is that she's a veterinarian, so she knows everything. I wish I was making that up. We've had conversations about how her degree makes her more qualified at... well, everything... than doctors, psychologists, etc... Tragically, she's not even a very good vet.

The descent into insanity is presented in the order in which she has invented the particular theory.

 

"You think you're a woman because you've been duped by a predatory sex-change industry. They just want your money."

 

Now, if this were actually true, they've got a pretty terrible plan here. In the super litigious United States, draw in men then coerce them into becoming women. They apparently do this by... making us struggle to meet criteria and making sure we have contact with doctors and mental health professionals for every step of the process. I'd think if they really wanted to indoctrinate us, they wouldn't insist that we see doctors from outside their medical enclaves. Unless, of course, every doctor and psychologist is in on it. That would be a pretty good trick, wouldn't it? I mean two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead. How an entire industry could keep this under their hat requires a degree of planning and discipline you usually only see in spy thrillers. In this woman's head, Big Brother is here and he's... apparently come to make you pay to get rid of your penis. Weird.

 

"You think you're a woman because of side-effects from your asthma medication."

 

OK, fine. I took a lot of asthma medication as a child. It started when I was four or five with a rescue inhaler. Of course, I'd been turning my underwear around to pretend I was a girl since I was three. Never let the facts get in the way of a good theory though.

So if this is the case, where are all the other little "confused" boys and girls. I'm not the only person in the world who had asthma in the seventies. It seems like that would be a pretty easy thing to track. If everyone who had asthma turned out to be trans, that seems like the kind of thing people would notice. It also doesn't take into account all of us that were born and died before asthma medication was a thing. Is the medication so potent that it made our condition travel back in time? If it can do that, I can think of better uses for the technology.

 

"You think you're a woman because we gave you McDonalds as a kid. McDonalds is evil."

 

This one really blows my mind. Can you imagine if it were true? There's be like ten cis-kids left in the world. You have to wonder about the business model here though. It's like the Underpants Gnomes. Step One: Make a bunch of kids trans. Step Two: Working on it. Step Three: Profit! What possible reason would anyone have to do something like this? If a comic-book villain had a plot like this, he'd be laughed out of the building.

 

So yeah, the "theories" espoused by the crazy person who birthed me. I'm a little worried actually. There's a strong vein of crazy on my Dad's side of the family too. That's not the kind of thing you want to get on you. Does anybody else have a family member like this?

 

Hugs!

Now this one i can relate to. Well except a big Mac. They are best ?

 

It could almost be a film. Ronald Macdonald and his evil plan to turn all men into morbidly obese women. Its all in the fries you know ?

I Think it is inline to be an Austin Powers film i think. GROOVY BABY

 

Im afraid most of the people I know would be pretty cool with a trans person. In fact I would perhaps be more inclined to scutinise than they would. Which is a strange phenomenon in itself. I suppose I would be more intrigued.

 

Awaits with anticipation  for some more replys that are more constuctive than my effort

Well with "Billions and Billions sold" why don't we have a better place in society?  Its all Burger Kings fault.  He's in cahoots with Wendy's!  

 

You want fries with that order?

      Thank you @missyjo! You do wonders for my ego.   It turns out that pastel colors were the "thing" at Kentucky Derby Day so my dress was perfect. I went with white 5" heeled sandals and a wide-brimmed fuscia hat. Dinner and Mint Juleps added to the fun of watching the (recorded) festivities and races.   Perhaps, we'll repeat it for the Preakness in 2 weeks.   Right now it's just blue striped sleep shorts with pink flowers, a pink t-shirt and flip flops. I can't tell you how much wearing  sleep-rated breast forms at night has done to quell my dysphoria.

      I can still rock 5" heels.

      Good morning, everyone!!   My wife and I had our yearly Kentucky Derby Day evening. Dresses, heels, hats, Mint Juleps and a light dinner while watching the festivities and races. Relaxing and fun. I think we'll do the same for the Preakness in two weeks.   It's rainy and cool here today so it's pretty much going to keep me indoors. Ahh, well. A day of rest.   Enjoy and be safe!!

      Thanks, Mindy. It has been so far. Tomorrow, work some more on the wife's grand monkey. Got the right side of the hood primed, just need to do a little more work on the left then I can prime it. Then a 600grit wet sand.   I promised the wife we would take out the bike this weekend.   Kymmie

      During my last visit with my psychologist (who has agreed to provide required letters of recommendation along with a colleague to provide the second) we discussed the shift towards my wife's acceptance. It was a long discussion but one point I mentioned was how much the two of us sitting down and watching this documentary helped:  The Kings | A transgender love story (2017)

      Oops, I did not mean to post that comment yet! I was going to also say, having read a mountain of commentary on the Review, I think Julia Serano’s response (linked by Vicky above) is the most accurate and thorough. You can also read a non-paywalled version at Substack: https://juliaserano.substack.com/p/the-cass-review-wpath-files-and-the   To me the three key areas in which the review is deficient are:   1. As has already been said here, its views on social transition;   2. Its attempts to give credence to the “ROGD” theory (without ever actually mentioning ROGD because presumably a canny editor knows that would be too transparently transphobic);   3. To me, most crucially, its claims about trans youth and suicide, which are dealt with summarily in about five pages and do not stand up to any deeper scrutiny.    I will be writing about each of these issues in isolation over the next few weeks and appearing on a radio show and podcast to discuss them late in the month. I will post links to these on TP later if anyone is interested.   All that said, I actually think it’s dangerous for us to respond with outright vitriol and condemnation to the review since, like any effective piece of disinformation, it does actually contain some factually based and even helpful recommendations. The Tavistock Gender Identity Service really was underfunded and understaffed and certain staff were not adequately trained. Trans kids really were funnelled away from mental-health support once they started gender-affirming care too. So yes, more investment in youth psychology services would help, as would a less centralised model of care, more training in treatment of trans kids, and more research.   One last thing for now: beware the claim that Cass ignored 98% of studies. That’s not strictly true. She seems to have taken other studies into account but leaned heavily on the 2% that met her standards. Nor does she ever claim that only randomised controlled trials are good enough evidence to justify the use of blockers for kids; just as with ROGD, she strongly suggests this, but is too canny to say it, because she knows such trials would be impossible. For now, I think the best response to this comes from the Trans Safety Network: “[…] we believe there to be systemic biases in the ways that the review prioritises speculative and hearsay evidence to advance its own recommendations while using highly stringent evidence standards to exclude empirical and observational data on actual patients. “ (https://transsafety.network/posts/tsn-statement-on-cass-final-report/)   To me, the scariest aspect of all this is that, if it follows Cass’s recommendations, the NHS will very likely follow Finland’s recent model of trans care, which seems to amount to a prolonged form of conversion therapy. I can’t find the link right now, which is probably lucky for anyone reading this, but I bawled my guts out reading the testimonies of kids who had been mistreated by that system. Truly horrific. To me, at least from my Australian perspective, the Cass Review is the most frightening development in trans rights in recent years. To me, the safe care of trans kids is THE number one issue in politics atm.   Ruth Pierce has a good summary of responses from trans folk and their allies sk far: https://ruthpearce.net/2024/04/16/whats-wrong-with-the-cass-review-a-round-up-of-commentary-and-evidence/

      Welcome to the wide, wild world of transgender, M.A.  It can definitively be overwhelming, but everyone here is amazing, so no doubt you'll get bunches of wonderful support. I think you'll be happy you found us.   
    • Sally Stone
      @Ladypcnj  This is so true.  I think all of us here have had a post or two that didn't get a response.  Sometimes, it's as simple as adding to your original to post for a clearer explanation, or re-reading what you wrote originally, and rephrasing it.  But don't despair, we aren't ignoring you.   Hugs,   Sally

      So, we left for lunch in our Taos, talked and went to the dealer and came home with the Cadillac.

      I have just finished reading the Cass Review, all 380-odd pages of it, and am totally open to questions including via DM if anyone wants more information on it

      What season are you?  If you don't know, look around on the internet. Or ask a girl friend..  Maybe someone here is even a color consultant?   And there are guides on figure-flattering clothes for all shapes that you should look into.    Abby

      Just know that your kids will probably turn out OK, in spite of the chaos.  One of my partners was widowed in her very early 30s, left with 3 kids.  They're teens now, and one graduated a year ago and is working, but still living at home.  A few bumps in the road, but the three are turning into responsible young adults.  It is amazing how resilient kids can be.  They should be able to handle your changes as well.
