love these leaves.

Check out this Letter to Would-Be Transsexuals from the American Boyz site. A little hostile, yes, a little cynical, yes, but important considerations nonetheless. I guess this is what I meant in my Post-Trans post, about self-critique or self-inquiry. Of course there's problems with it, but just read it

That letter is great.

It's good to know there are people providing reality-check resources like this. There isn't much of this sort of harsh/in-your-face bluntness around.

Most people I know only hear it from their parents and family which makes it much harder to consider rationally and/or take serious. When a mom says to her trannyboy son, "what if you end being a bald dyke? How'd ya like that?" we share a good laugh over the rediculous seeming nature of the comment but the truth is, the only people really trying to provoke that sort of deep thought process about sex changes are the ones who care the most about the future of their kids, relatives, lovers, etc...

I can just imagine how freakin controversial that is.
I know I wouldn't want to stumble across those kinds of
'worst-case-scenarios' had I already started to unreadliy experience them. Those are some major realities. Shit, I sure would want to know what they were before I found out the hard way. And if I did find out the hard way, I'm sure I'd be defensive as shit about it and call that list a crock of shit.

Hmm good point about the parental concern and subsequent disregard from the kid.

yeah, this letter is pretty hardcore.
