It's all about attitude.

pinupboy:

If that’s how one person feels about their own body, that’s okay. But when one person says “this is how all trans* people feel,” it’s irritating.

Like, when they say “Telling a trans man not to get top surgery is like telling a kid born with HIV not to take medication for it!” Which is based on an actual example I just saw.

Some people do dislike their bodies, but to say that all trans* people are, well, defective, is pretty offensive to me.

My natural state, the body I was born with, is not a disease. I am not defective. And your comments make life harder for me. The more that trans* people perpetuate the idea of “all men must want dicks and flat chests,” the more cis people are going to think it’s okay to go “well, you’re not really a man until you get the surgery.”

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with loving the body you were born with, even if society tells you that it belongs to a different gender. It doesn’t. It belongs to you. And society, not only cis people but trans* people too, have no right to tell you what you should or should not want it to look like.
