what is transgenderism

[c=003BB2][i]and how come it's happening now in our times, all these people who are transgender....this never went on in the 60s, 70s or 80s when i was young...why now?[/i][/c]
It did, you just weren’t paying attention. Christine Jorgensen transitioned in the 1950s.

@ravenhill Well back then we did have not the internet LOL.. Do u have a prob with trans people..
JohanGabriel · 46-50, T
@LeopoldBloom Sadly they are with the ever growing hate there is right now.
But before this hate started blowing up like this we were living our life the same as the rest of the people in this world and we learned that we were not as hated as we always feared before this.
Then someone decided to use hate against us to gain political wins and to put all horrid crimes on us instead of the ones that actually does them.
So once again we are at risk for murder and once again suicide is growing out of that fear and out of the hate we again have to take daily (as on the bird app) sadly
@JohanGabriel The bigots don't want to hear about it. They want to go back to the old days when LGBT stayed in the closet, and the bigots could make believe that they didn't exist.

It's more talked about in the open than is used to be. Plus a lot of transgendered probably hid the fact.

Well im 45 and i knew when i was 9 i did not want to be a guy. It has always been around but now people are more open to talk about what they are feeling. Things were bad for trans people in the past. Its a different kinda bad today where there are states attacking our right to be who we are by making laws to restrict or deny care. Also its possible that u never knew what was going on back then since it was not something u had to focus on.

It's been around since way back then, it's only become politicized recently.
Also, we, as a society, are only beginning to understand sexuality, so the topic is becoming more legitimate rather than just being reduced to sexual perversion.

In simple terms, transgenderism is where a person's gender doesn't match the one assigned to their sex.
JohanGabriel · 46-50, T
@Sharon Actually the word Transgender ISM is created by trans haters to be used negatively.
We are not 'Transgenderism people' We simply are Transgender.
So maybe we should change the whole discussion and call us for what we are and not for some hateful make believe word haters created for us.
Let the haters keep the bird app and let's keep their hate there please.

@JohanGabriel I don't see anything wrong with the word "transgenderism" to describe the condition. I agree people whose gender does not align with the one assigned to their sex are "transgender people" because the word "transgender" is an adjective.

It would be best if everyone simply had the same rights and responsibilities regardless of their sex and gender.
JohanGabriel · 46-50, T
@Sharon For me it be like calling it Cisism. It just sounds like Nazism, Racism and all other Not good ism's out there. It sounds bad and leave a bitter taste sadly.
Other then that Yes I agree We should all have same right and same protection from hate crimes All of us, and with that said I mean Not just trans or black or other minorities. Simply All of us should have same rights 👍

From two years earlier.

Edited because I forgot about Lola. Sorry sweet.

It did But back then many kept it inside, hiding. Why? Cos they were afraid and got thought to be ashamed if they went in other genders clothes etc as children.
With time people learned to be more tolerating and with that we did not have to hide and be ashamed for simply being ourselfs anymore.
We should Never have needed to hide who we are. That we did say a lot about the people pushing us down and treating us like that only to keep the world 'right' for them at the cost of who we were meant to be.
Never again! No more!
We have the right to be us!
JohanGabriel · 46-50, T
We always been around. But it has gotten more acceptable with time as science now understand us better. And with that the world as whole start understand us better and Trans people become more open about who we are as we now are understood more and not just seen as weirdos or mentaly ill.
Being Transgender is not a mental illness. And people are learning this more and more.
With acceptance and respect comes more people being more open.
We don't need be as afraid of being ourselfs as we had to in the past.

You weren't there in the 60s. Ever heard of Quentin Crisp and April Ashley?
StepDad2 · 36-40, M
I read that transgender people were in the military for decades but recently been banned from enlisting.
Thomas52 · 70-79, M
It's certainly become a major issue in a way it wasn't previously.
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@Thomas52 Wasn't a major issue for you perhaps. But for those who didn't fit in it has always been difficult.
JohanGabriel · 46-50, T
@Thomas52 A issue? For us just being who we are? But you being who you are is not a issue?
I have no words for you, no words!
JohanGabriel · 46-50, T
@Thomas52 We are not 'a major issue'. We are people same as the Cis people. No one is above or beneath anyone else!
All we ever asks for is to be treated same as everyone else and respected.. same as everyone else and to have the same rights as.. everyone else.
So why is that a issue? And if it is Is it also a issue that Cis people want the same thing for themselfs?
