S05E17: "The Outcast"

[image deleted]I've seen some episodes of TNG at truck stops at times, and that was one of the episodes I've seen :) the ending was sad, though :(

I would say she was closer to agender, though :3

She was agender to start with, but she identified as a female in the episode.

Ahh, that's right

I just left a comment on james3v6's Spongebob meme about hormone therapy, and I wanted your input. Do you believe that there are some people who identify as transgender in their younger years, but as they get older, "grow out of it"? If so, what do you think causes their temporary transgender feelings?

I'm certainly not saying the vast majority of transgender people are "just going through a phase", as fundamentalist Christian propaganda would like to tell people.

:)

Now, I know I can't speak for all transgender individuals, but I doubt that transgender children "grow out" of their transgender feelings. There are some children who cross-dress, which is a completely different thing from transgenderism. If a child does "grow out" of their transgender feelings, then they're likely to look back on why they had transgender feelings in their teenage or adult life, and see where that takes them.

In my experience, I had transgender feelings at quite a young age, particularly my 3rd and 4th grade years. I mostly forgot about them through my middle school years, but still felt discontented with myself. It was during my late high school years when I was able to piece my feelings together.

Something that radical Christian fundamentalists like to do is claim that the transgender community is hurting children (whilst supporting the NRA), and take the moral high ground. They have a hard time accepting new scientific discoveries, and fill in the blanks with whatever they can find from the Bible. Whenever new sciences are discovered, radicals will do whatever they can to keep themselves in power, specifically use the money they've received from donations (supposedly to help the needy) and become lobbyists for the more conservative politicians, promising to use their money to promote the politician, while the politician puts forth conversion therapy.

Yeesh... I went on a bit of a rant there. Thanks for asking! :)

Thank you very much for that wonderful response! It was very informative :)

So even after you mostly forgot about the feelings you had when you were younger, it definitely didn't just pass as a phase, it sounds like.

You pointed out another thing that many conservative Christians don't seem to understand, and that's the difference between transgender people and crossdressers. They want everything to fit into neat little boxes like "male" and "female", because gray areas require too much thinking.

And they love to funnel money into conservative causes and lobbying, then get upset when liberals do the very same thing.

You're welcome! :)

I definitely didn't. I couldn't drop my feelings. I looked at them during my late 10th and early 11th grade years, and started coming out as trans to my friends and family.

Too true! Being a social conservative requires little to no thinking, if anything! Just parroting beliefs from a silly lil' book!

;D

And you should be proud of yourself for having the courage to come out as trans (and bi). I've come out as bi to a number of people like my dad, brothers and friends, but not to others, like my mom, coworkers and other relatives.

Aww, thanks. :)

You should be proud too! I hope coming out goes well for you if you do come out to others. :)

No problem! :)

Thank you very much, my friend! ;) I plan to tell Evilman someday. I'm kinda nervous, even though I truly believe he'll be totally cool with it.

To be honest, my same-sex attraction was pretty much ignored for years, until I became a brony/clopper :)

You're welcome! I hope Evilman will understand. :)

Interesting. ;)

I'm sure he will. He's a great guy :)

Same. :)
