Birth Defects and Transgender Issues
So, I haven’t been too consistent with my posting lately, and I wanted acknowledge that to my readers. You can count on me from here on out to post consistently on topics that matter to you and to me.
Here is my question for today–what is the difference between a birth defect and a mis-matching gender identity? Both happen at birth…both have stigma attached to it…and yet, there is a clear difference between how most people view a birth defect as something to deal with and it is understandable, and yet a mis-matching gender identity is not understandable, and it is something that people will judge and discriminate against. Why?
Deafness is something understandable. Gender identity that doesn’t match the body I was born in is not understandable, and therefore, thought of as a “sexual perversion”. This is what kills my spirit–gender identity has NOTHING to do with sex or sexuality! Come on people…this is not any more a sexual perversion as deafness is. So stop treating us as something to be abhored and feared, and start treating us as human beings!!!
That is all I have time for today, but you will be able to expect more on this topic in the coming posts. Thanks for reading my rantings, and I will see you tomorrow morning!
