I'll add:
The reason white MTF transition stories are the ones people see is because it makes for the most sensational story the media can offer. They're unfortunately not done to educate as much as trans peeps would like to believe. They're done to shock all the white straight couples. Sprinkled with a little bit of basic cultural misogyny.
as in:
"jeebus, how could a man that was happily married. . . "claim" to like women. . . have it all. . . and go and do something as "insane" as wanting to be a woman!? I mean if a chick wanted to be a guy. . . I could see that. It IS a "man's world" after all. . .who doesn't want privilege? but a dude to "want" to "become" the most insulting thing you could call another dude - a chick? That makes no sense! OMG! Crazy!

One point for "little one."
minus 2 for being either:
a. A giant douche bag that's independently wealthy enough to provide for 100% of their own health care.
b. not a giant douche bag that does believe what they write, and plans to commit hara-kiri at a moments notice in the event you are ever given a terminal prognosis. (and will pay for the clean-up.)
c. A troll that's still too young, smug and idealistic. . . who just wants to win "at internet."

Jeebus. . . you expect me to read all of that?
blah. . . blah. . . blah.
"partial win?" Um. . . I'm trans. I have a life I gotta' live. Like. . . everyday. Outside, upfront and in public.
It's not about a "win" on the interwebs.

Fuck you.
When my wife was dying (at the ripe old age of 40) she got to think about her little one and family. . . she didn't have to think about the cost of her treatment - what a fucking horrible shame, huh?

I will say though. . . the doctor on the program seemed to want guidelines and regulations to take his conscience and ethics out of end of life issues.
He wanted to be able to tell patients that they wouldn't treat for [x] because "the rules says so."
Sorry doc. . . but I don't think you should try and regulate culture. . . and guess what? if you wanna' be a doctor YOU'RE gonna' have to get used to people dying as much as they do.

Not dealing with death is a huge problem indeed. Doctors can treat us for pain but not suffering.

Jeebus - For the 8 millionth-upteenth-fucktard-time:
1. Gender and "sex" are not the same things.
2. Chromosomes do not determine your "gender."
3. Believing gender is based on sex where sex is either a simple 'XY' or 'XX' is the same as believing the world is flat and Obama was born in the "country of" Hawaii.
4. Others determining transgender people need biological proof for their existence is irrelevant.
Fuck this is getting old.

So. . . you're okay with describing a MTF trans peep as a "man in a dress?"
um. . . and you want others to listen to, understand and respect who you are? Really?
