So I just read the ED entry for Raniko. Raniko is trans. Big fucking deal. I don't get why people have to be such haters just because of that, I mean srsly. So yea, a transgendered furry. Big fucking deal, I don't see why that would have any significance. Its just part of who they are, just like me being a babyfur is just part of who I am. So what if someone is FtM or MtF, or even MtA or FtA. At least they have found themselves. Maybe they're suicidal because of being trans. Hating them won't make them less suicidal, in fact, that's moar of a way to get them to become an hero. A trans person is insecure enough already, they don't need that kind of negativity.
Too many people are so scared of what they don't understand that they might be exactly what they fear, and they repress themselves, thus making them unhappy. Then they take it out on everyone else. Y'know what it is? Its insecurity. They are insecure about themselves, so they make everyone else feel like shit (or they do their best in trying).
Yea, I didn't accept myself at first, for liek two decades. Then I found out there are others like me, and things can change, and I can be myself, it just needs a little work. That's when I was finally able to come to terms with myself and accept myself. I was that which I didn't understand, refusing to accept myself. Then I came 'round, and started pursuing it. I'm a lot happier for it, too. But, too many people refuse to try to find out who or what they are, deep down they know and they hate it, and that is what makes them unhappy and insecure.
You know what I do when someone tries to hassle me about who I am? I ignore them, or I go away. There was once a group of really nice Christian people in Second Life that I hung with. Then one of them told me "God doesn't want you to change, he loves you for who you are." After that, I quit going to visit them. I know who I am, and change is the way to be who I really am. I've tried to commit suicide three times because of it, I need to change so I can finally stop hating myself. Too many people refuse to accept transgenders for who they are, instead hating them because they're actually doing something to be happier.
If Raniko ever reads this, well ..... I wish I had the resources to help.
