Oops, I think the Africans in the pics are actually women. I see breasts.

Have you ever spoken with a trans person to get a sense of their experience and journey? To have them explain it in their own words?

Not so far. Even years ago, before it became 'cool', I found transfolk really self-obsessed about it. Not narcissist, just self-obsessed. Like, once they started doing it it was *all* they could talk about. I had to drop one as a friend because s/he was just too weird, with too many psychological issues. We had a transwoman in our Pagan church in CT twenty years ago, and she was quite nice. I only talked to her about it shortly before I moved to Canada, and confessed that the reason I'd never asked her about it was because I thought she'd never shut up about it like the others. She laughed and said no, she wasn't like that. She had real sense of humour and didn't take herself so seriously. If transactivists were like that people would dislike transfolk a lot less.
