I have been reading mumsnet as kinda a guilty pleasure for a while now, but not as a mum, as a bored teenager. I have noticed a recurring theme in the threads and that is a lot of amnosity towards the trans community. It's coming across as that you guys think that all mtf trans people are perverts with massive beards and all ftm trans people are faking it for attention. But this is not the case.

I have been out as ftm trans for about a year. I never really came out to my parents as they were there from the beginning of me discovering my gender. Even so, they aren't very comfortable with me physically transitioning and i might have to get a job to pay for private gender therapy. At this moment in time i bind, present as male and am out to my teachers and most of my friends. Tbh i'm just trying to live my life and make the most of what comes Smile. So the point is that i want to know where this hatred and blatant dislike of trans rights and the trans community comes from. Most of us just want to live like anyone else.
