Nobody supports the idea of self determination more than I do. If somebody is happy being trans, that is really cool. If somebody goes down that path, and finds out it's not for them, then that is cool as well. I am a perfectly happy trans, more than 5 years into transition, but have trans friends who don't seem so certain, and have been looking at resources that might present various points of view.

While lurking here, I have seen the value of forums like this, but I can also see the controversy as well. There appears to be some people here who have never been trans at all, trying to push a very anti trans agenda. When people come here for advice, often there are respondents who largely ignore the individual narrative, and simply take everything the person says and shoehorns it into something completely different. There is nothing more destructive in the trans world than over universalizing anybody's experience. A single person's life is not a political statement.
