Funny The Way It Is

[Guest Kaylin]

It's always accord me, it well being no so deep or meaningful, that it's funny the way things play out. We support each other when we know nothing of each other. I'm speaking of FtMs and MtFs. We always wonder to ourselves why someone would want to become what we hate. Every feature they despise we lust for. In the end all we have is the power of friendship to overcome our obstacles. We will never understand each other, and things are left unanswered. If things would have been simpler everything would have been easier. If only our dilemmas were like lunch as kindergarteners. Her mom packed her a orange while his mom packed him a banana. All we would ever have to do is trade to be happy. *sigh*

Oh, and the title is totally not a Dave Matthews Band reference. :K

Things would be a lot simpler that way.

But that's just"The Way it Is" - no reference to Bruce Hornesby.

Love ya,

wow that was real deep if things were alot simpler it would be nice

[Guest Donna Jean]

Kaylin....yes, if it were so simple, wouldn't life be grand?

Trading would be the ultimate good answer...we all envy what the other has and have a hard time understanding why they wouldn't want it!

But the one thing that we do have in common is understanding the others need for those changes ...because we have them, too!

Ah "What wonderful world it would be!"*

I was thinking the exact same thing and I was also planning on making a topic/thread about this is the near future. I've also felt like asking (although I wouldn't do it) some FtMs here why they want to be a male in body, and what would actually be so great about it, even though I know almost all of them feel like a male on the inside, and/or have (an)other reason(s) why.

[Guest Emily H]

So true, I was thinking this exact same topic! Ah, but Kaylin, you beat me to the more 'profound' part of this...erm, maybe I should look up the word profound and see if its indeed what I'm thinking of .

Everyone sees and feels and acts differently, and all of the biologic stuff that is wayyy above my head (ask me about earth science or physics, not biology ) makes everyone different. Thats whats so great about life. The bad part, when we don't always get matched up with what is right for us.

Perhaps the true meaning of life is to form the perfect world.

How's that for...deep? Erm, maybe I do mean profound...

'Suppose that's really what the therapy step is for isn't it? It would be so much easier if there was a trade off at some determinate point in life wouldn't it Kaylin...or would it? LOL...yes it would, but that is what fiction is made of. Real life is hard work, rejection, determination, acceptance, rejection, re-doubled effort, acceptance...et al. Someday things may well be different for all of us that feel the gender disconnect. For now we can all be glad that we are fortunate to have one another to understand the issues we face. Kelly Ann

Well, that could be awesome in a lot of ways- trading.. that is. I'm sure there's a lot of FTMs and MTFs who'd like to trade bodies here XD

Though I do think I can understand why FTMs want the body that I despise so much. After meeting and talking to so many of them here, I think it's important to knowledge that we're all transgender, but we all differ greatly in how we perceive and understand gender and humanity itself. Even MtF/FtM transsexuals are extremely different. You know what they say... "Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars".
