Topic	If you knew your child would be born transgender, but there was a pre-natal cure
gunplagirl 07/18/17 5:50:18 AM #136:	Conflict posted... gunplagirl posted... Every study out there regarding childhood transitioners shows they're as happy or more so than their peers I've been constantly hearing that transgenders are typically unhappy/depressed throughout adolescence and still up until adulthood, and now all of a sudden it's the opposite? Which one is it? Anyways tbh my kneejerk reaction to this poll was 'no' but thinking about it it would definitely make the child's life a lot easier. That's only the case for those who couldn't transition in their youth. It's becoming increasingly more common for them to at least state their desire to transition because society is slowly turning to make it more acceptable for them to feel they can say it without fearing reprisal. Most like myself, well. Seeing lgbt people being used as punch lines in movies (like that Jim Carey one) and people being violent towards them? It makes us fear that we'll be harmed by our own family for saying something. Plus lots of other indicators, conscious or otherwise, from family members showing that they disapprove. Plus even in my teenage years I knew a few classmates who were disowned and taken care of by friends families because of their sexual orientation. That is why we're unhappy. Because we can't safely express our genuine selves even if we do act on it. --- Pokemon Moon FC: 1994-2190-5020 IGN: Vanessa <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:883128007] in If you kne...
