Re: Demons
You know, this is just my opinion, but I don't really think there's anything wrong with being a girl or a boy. This is why I've always supported transgender individuals (outside of my own struggles with identity) because I mean fundamentally there's nothing wrong with being a boy or a girl and there's nothing wrong with wanting to be a boy or a girl either. I always just wrote it off to the curiosity that I'm sure that we all feel about a different way of life, but set to a ridiculous extreme. That's kind of what I go through too and I can talk about my problems involving identity to many of them because we fundamentally share a lot of the same feelings. But instead of wanting to mutilate their genitalia I want to mutilate my eyes.
At least you could write an argument fairly easily to why wanting to become blind has negative consequences. If gender changing was something that was a completely flawless and instantaneous process I think there would be absolutely no reason why there should be anything wrong with it. I know a lot of people get this idea of the fact that "you're not being who you are" but it's weird, because those people are looking at who you are on the outside. And I think we all agree that fundamentally, whether it's being transgender, BIID or whatever that we can change who we are on the outside but who we are on the inside is always something that will be with us.
It's like people who are blinded in accidents or lost their vision because of something like random retinal detatchment or something. Those people aren't any different after their change. So why is it that people think that after someone willingly changes themselves that somehow they're erasing who they are? It's always something that's been kind of a mystery to me.
