>>5106411I am going through this now. I'm older and originally went to see my doctor to see if I could be cured or if I was mentally ill or something.
Anyway, the cure is transition but for myself as a grown adult I am unsure if this is a good idea regardless of my own personal feelings.
As part of my research into myself I met some trans girls near the end of my looking which really solidified I am like they. I befriended a couple as a result. One girl has transitioned fully at the cost of her home and marriage. On top she has quite a lot of debt and has been unable to get work at all even with 30 years experience in her field.
I really feel for her but her depression isn't around whether she's a functional female or not, it's about survival without becoming homeless. So you know, she looks and acts very feminine, much more than I.
Some of the girls I've met have had to resort to prostitution and living on the street. It's an ugly thing to have to go through when as a man you had the world by the balls and know people will reject you if you try and show your real self.
Imagine having to live a lie your whole life or coming out instead so you can starve and be homeless.
I have no ill will towards the Russian people, but you are just choosing to be blind to the reality these people go through because you chose instead to follow a work of fiction in the name of god and not what is morally right.
A strong society would not fear this, only a weak one. These people are just people and very much like you and me otherwise.
