#transgender I'd be interested what people on the Federation think of this teacher wearing prosthetic breasts with nipples showing. Personally, I support the individual's right to wear what they want, but not in the workplace or school.
It's not professional in my opinion, and isn't what most of us want our children seeing while at school. Thoughts? https://nationalpost.com/opinion/rex-murphy-a-classroom-is-no-place-for-wearing-massive-prosthetic-breasts
@marathon0 I would generally support whatever people choose to do, as long as they don't bother others. So, a transgender teacher wearing prosthetic breasts in school is ok to me, if and only if she: a) wearing a bra (aka not showing her nipples), b) the size of prosthetic breasts is not crazy or unrealistic.
Considering how hard life is in China, and how the government and idiot majority think about/against trans, I would say most trans in China have to hide the fact from others, even from their parents. There was a news report from years ago, an MtF teacher was fired from the school for no legal reasons, despite how students liked her and how hard she worked. It's just because she is trans, and society doesn't accept it.
@marathon0 I think it's just a way to define themselves. Just like I want to be an honest person, and they want to be a girl/boy/whatever gender they want to be. I explained to myself in that way (they are both hard roads to take), since for me (22 years old), I think I'm not fashioned enough to really get it. I mean, yes, girls are cute and can be very pretty. But still, despite few talented people can entirely hide their male characteristics and dress like a beautiful female, most MtF still got at least some male body characteristics, and that makes me feel very weird (No offense to those MtF, that weirdness comes out from the gender-identifying part of my brain, which is confused seeing both male and female characteristics at the same time on the same person).
Also, as far as I know, MtF needs to take medicines during their entire life. There is an SRS operation (gender reassignment surgery) to help them "fix" their body, but they still cannot produce certain hormones. And according to some unconfirmed messages, those medicines may reduce their lifespan a lot.
Although I don't really understand why they decide to become a transgender (yes, girls are pretty, but gentlemen in Kingsman are also handsome, I would generally accept who I am and what body I have), based on those downsides, risks, and the hard life they take (in China and some other countries), I would respect their choice and would like to support them to get legal rights.
@skyblond Thanks for your honest answer and opinion. :-) I must admit I don't understand transgenderism at all, and why people like to flaunt it in the open and public. I'm with the public that doesn't condone it. Too freakish for my old soul. I'm just getting used to the fact that I have a dear family memeber that came out as gay. So, guess I'm old fashioned.
