Am I the only one around here who...

[Taylor Ray]

Typicallly, you can't allow one to have everything his way because nothing will get finished. So, somehow you have too strike a reasonable medium so that the work moves forward on all fronts. The thing is, you will never be able to make everyone happy at ANY point in time.

I understand your point within this context, but it kind of misses the entire issue of this being a "trans issue". This is an aspect of my person-hood. It is not like wanting to install a 70 inch TV in a man-cave when household expenses are tight, or demanding that my partner always want to do the same activities as I do.

How, in the world, is this still being talked about as "selfish", even on this forum?

Doesn't this indicate the unconscious Zeitgeist we are all infected with, which PaulaQ has labeled "trans-phobia"?

As long as the word "selfish" is attached to this issue, there will continue to be feelings of isolation and pain by trans people who need to express this aspect of their personality.

The same applies to the word "fetish". Society imagines that all trans people just want to get off with some knickers.
