Hey Subby, way to go for the low hanging fruit

Fake gender, fake drama.  Get over yourselves.

Did he wear a dress for his yearbook picture? If not, he really isn't committed to the cause.

The article and the submission headline were both badly in need of the term 'Attention Whore'.

Because People in power are Stupid: How does he know that he's transgendered?

The same way you know you're not.

/most of us have known since we were five or younger. If we're lucky, we stop questioning sometime before we hit six feet under.

That dude makes one ugly chick.  He should probably rethink his strategy.

How backwards do you have to be to care if someone wears a tux or dress to the prom?

Turfshoe: Hey Subby, way to go for the low hanging fruit

are you serious or is that also a dick joke?

God damn he's ugly in a dress.

Should wait till he gets hormone treatment or something first, just in the name of good taste.

The same way you know you're not.

/most of us have known since we were five or younger. If we're lucky, we stop questioning sometime before we hit six feet under.

The article says that this person just figured it out this year. Now I'm a pretty open minded guy, but I don't think you should call yourself trans if you haven't even started reassignment therapy. I got the impression that this person was going to dress like a woman for prom, but still present as a man during school. If that's the case, then that would mean he's a drag queen, not that she's transgender.

But whatever you do don't you make fun of him.

Oh no! I called her "him"! I better stop before she does something stupid.

I can't fap to any of this.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPA

How you know you're not, and that you're really the gender you're 'supposed' to be?
Cuz ya just know.

Yeah, screw this kid for wanting to go to their own prom -I mean, really, the nerve of some people.

Ima4nic8or: That dude makes one ugly chick.  He should probably rethink his strategy.

That's a good point.  He should tailor his decisions and identity more to match your opinion of his appearance.

From what I've been told, transgender types 'think' different from the sex they're assigned at human spawning.

They feel uncomfy so they feel the need to alter their bodies because they know better than nature.

I'm ok with that, because humans should be allowed to do whatever to themselves. But school life isn't fair, soooooo...

Cant see the harm, so long as he's not just trying to be funny / edgy, in order to get a laugh out of his buds in his Auto Shop Repair class.

Half the girls in my class kind of looked liked he does all dolled up anyway.

/ not a good crop...

I thought he was going to wear a Klinger Original...

TheZorker: /Gender is Physical, not Psychological
//I'm not sure if I'm Trolling

You're not trolling, just ignorant.  People a hell of a lot smarter than you are have confirmed that there is a psychological component to gender.

This person may or may not be transgendered, it's the Daily Mail so I'm going to take most of the details with a shovel of salt but seriously? You choose that wig, that ugly blond wig for you choice of hair? Ew.

BarkingUnicorn: This the original Wang, subby:

I was programming on that in '69.

Go away, attention whore.

Or, you know, we could just stop caring what types of clothes are suitable for what gender.  So someone wants to wear a dress, big whoop.

I'd think there'd be more a societal interest than a psychological one.

Because People in power are Stupid: How does he know that he's transgendered?

Easy- so easy, in fact, anyone sitting at their computer can do it RIGHT NOW!

First, ask yourself:  Am I (a) male or (b) female?  Hold that answer in your head.

Now here is where it gets tricky- open your pants or lift your dress, and check your genitalia.  Do you have (a) a penis or (b) a vagina?  Look closely and make sure you're right.  Hold that answer in your head.

Now, compare your answers to these two questions.  Did you answer both with (a) or both with (b)?  Congratulations, you are a part of that mighty fraternity/sorority of cisgendered people that has existed since the dawn of the ages!

But what if your answers differ?  Well that's just fine too- you're awesomely transgendered!  While your fraternity or sorority might not be as massive, they are there to welcome you with open arms for strength and solidarity.  And while organized transperson support groups may be a relatively new thing, know that the condition of your being has been around just as long as being cis.

But remember that no matter what your answer is, there are those of us out there who love, cherish, and accept you without condition, for your genitals are far less important to us than your hearts.

I'd say that a professional would be better at making that statement than a person.

Would you trust a person's self diagnosis of an ailment?

Most people are grossly uneducated and prefer to use 'feelings' instead of analytical thinking.

If my half-brother was transgender, does that mean that in reality I have a quarter-sister as well as a quarter-brother?

Summoner101: How backwards do you have to be to care if someone wears a tux or dress to the prom?

Pretty farking backwards.

/the scary part is that they're everywhere, and they think that they're in the right

Wearing a dress to a prom isn't a right. It's a privilege, like voting.

Newsflash for you: Not all transgendered people WANT to change their bodies, they just don't feel "right" in them. For example, I'm a female body that wants to be a hermaphrodite. You really think there's a psychologist that would write me off for reassignment surgery or hormones? Not that I know of. Plus, transititioning would mean losing my relationship with my fiancé, and that's not something I'm willing to sacrifice. I'm perfectly happy with the parts I have, will never be totally happy with my body, but, eh, whatever, I can deal with it. I don't need perfection. I express my gender in other ways, through my appearance and behaviour (and again, fortunately my fiancé is supportive; my community, not so much).

Try stepping outside your little box of experience and realize that different people are. . . different! I didn't figure out I was bi until I was 17 (by contrast, my parents knew when I was 11), and realizing I was "transgendered" didn't come until 26 or so. I always knew I was different, and had a male alter ego as a child, but didn't adopt the label until I felt comfortable with it. Bisexuality was a lot easier to come to terms with than my gender.

It's like having a disease all your life, but not knowing what it's called until you're an adult. (Not saying LGBTQRSTUV is a disease, just noting the similarity in perspective) You've always known something was off, you just couldn't put a name to it.
