My older sister was Army and it was a career. She has 4 children. The oldest and the youngest, girls, are both involved with trans women who are now “men”. The middle 2 are very normal with normal family dynamics.
The youngest’s love interest has had “top surgery” and honestly you wouldn’t know you were talking to a trans person. Acts, talks and looks like a dude. Seems well adjusted, confident and not militant about the whole business like a lot seem to be. I enjoy talking with “him”. Honestly amazing.
The oldest (who’s previous love interest was a dude who dresses like a woman, poorly, with stubble poking through makeup) is now with a large woman with short green hair that wears flannel and boots. No other real effort is put in. Militant to include constant arguments with my extremely Liberty minded sister about politics and causing scenes at any gathering they come to.
In my mind, the majority of trans people are looking for a place to belong that gives them attention. A tribe of sorts, identity. It gives them a cause, a “righteous fight” for rights. It is RAMPANT in grade school to “come out” and then liberal teachers promote and foster it.
Many times these people realize by young adulthood that they really are not “trans”. The problem comes when they’ve taken hormones and had surgeries that fawked them up so bad that they realize they can’t go back. Regret, depression and in a high %, suicide is the result.
To me, if a person wants to pretend and live as the opposite sex then have at it. The tragedy is that many times the mental stress of it all proves too much and toss in hormone therapy and cutting off body parts and they slide off the cracker.

I could slab it up and polished it. Unless this is in the National Park, then leave it, it ain't worth it.
