Why are transsexuals so hated?

Why are transsexuals so hated?

(Especially, by the conservative right?)

What have transsexual done to merit such scorn?

I am a transsexual myself (M to F), I didn't ask for this. I have tried every thing to make my gender dsyphoria go away, nothing worked. The only thing that has brought me a small measure of peace was accepting that I was born this way. I was born with a female brain trapped inside a male body. So each day I wake up and try to be the best person I can be, I mind my own business, I work hard, I pray to god and I love my family. But everyday that I step out of my house as my true self, I get rude comments, snickers, pointing, looking at me, threats and more, where ever I go. And if that is not enough to put up with, try looking for a new job as a transexual?

Since I came out as my true self I have been fired, and not rehired for any job not even one I am over qualified for. Why?

Is it to much to expect, to make a living and live my life in peace in 2009, I mean sometimes I feel like I am living in the 1950s.

Why is it ok in Western Society for women to wear men's clothing and TABOO when men wear women's clothing?

Ever wonder; why it is ok in Western Society for women to wear men's clothing and TABOO when men wear women's clothing?

Why do you think Western Society is like that?

Is it because Western Society is a male dominated society, and thus must treat anything feminine as being inferior?


I find this weird because not too long ago in Western Society men wore clothing that would be considered "feminine" by today standards.

Is it comfort? Suggesting that all women’s clothing is uncomfortable so they are forced to wear men’s clothes for comfort?

Is it homophobia? A man wearing a skirt must be gay?

Is it religion? Some religions state that men should not wear women’s clothing. Again, looking to history (not that long ago) what was consider acceptable macho male attire would be consider very feminine today.

It just seems that this is an unfair double standard in Western Society that we just keep accepting and passing on from one generation to the next.

What do you think?

How do you explain transsexualism to non transsexual people?

I have started slowly coming out to close friends and family. But as I do they keep asking me the same themed questions asked over and over again.

"How do you know you are a transsexual?"
"Whats makes you think you are a transsexual?"
"What do you think you can do as a women that you can't do as a man?"
"I just don't understand."
"You are too masculine you will never pass as a woman so why try?"

I know I am a woman on the inside, and I try to tell them it is about me making my outside match my inside. But that is not clearing it up for then they are still confused. I believe they mean no disrespect, they just want to understand. So they keep asking the same themed questions over and over. I feel I must not be explaining it clear enough.

Is this typical for people who are coming out? Or are my friends and family being to nosy? Does anybody have a good simple answer to help me explain what I am going through to non transsexual people?

Would you be upset if you found out that your neighbor was a transsexual?

What would you do if you found out that your neighbor was a transsexual?
1. Would you stop speaking to your transsexual neighbor?
2. Would you tell the rest of the neighbor hood?
3. Would you be afraid to let your children play outside?
4. Would you stop letting your children play with your transsexual neighbor’s children?
5. Would you try to get the neighbor hood association to bring legal action against your transsexual neighbor?
6. Would you accuse your transsexual neighbor of bring down the neighbor’s property value?
7. Would you vandalize your transsexual neighbor’s property?
8. Would you tell your transsexual neighbor, they are breaking Gods law at she is going straight to hell for all eternity?

What would you do ???

Now consider what would you do if you’re the transsexual?
