I am not a transsexual.
Until recently, I didn't fully understand what trans people endure. Many people who are trans experience life as a constant nightmare, never truely being how they feel inside. Most trans children express that their mind and body do not match, or feeling "off" as young as 4 to 5 years old.
Imagine not living your childhood because being outcast, bullied, or abused simply because you're trying to behave as yourself.
You want to hang out with other little boys; to jump and roll in the mud while spitting on the other boys who are peeing in the woods. They won't let you joi because your outside has the wrong parts.
You want to dress up and play with houses and toys, pour glitter on everything, and sing and dance with the other little girls. They laugh or make fun of you, because your outsides have the wrong parts.
Childhood outcasting often forces trans children down a long, dark, and lonely road. The fear and seclusion overwhelms their childhood. Sound like a horror story?
The nightmare hasn't even begun.
Puberty is already a stressful time of metamorphasis for teenagers.
Trans teens face terrors beyond imagination. The wrong body parts growing in, spreading in your body.
Young girls experiencing hair, muscles, erections, and voice changes.
Boys growing breasts, hips, and starting their periods.
Many trans teens commit suicide during puberty, often times because the lack of information and peers, and the incorrect changes is too much for them to bare.
Many try their best to force their bodies to match their insides.. sometimes even ending in mutilation of body parts by their own hands.
If you are trans, and you are suffering and need to reach out for help. There ARE people here for you! :)
Not everyone understands... and I don't blame people for not understanding the subject. It is difficult, and we live in a very close minded society. Truely, no one can understand the pain unless they have experienced it themselves.
The rest of us can only fathom.
There is always hope.
You are not alone.

There is help and therapy out there if you wish to seek it!
You are beautiful inside and out. <3
Never let people tell you who or what you are.
You are you.
And YOU are beautiful.

Here is an artist who is FTM, and helped me begin to understand.
I only wish more people could see this particular comic.

I wanted to play house with the girls, and glitter. Hell I even put on high-heels. I'm a boy. I did it because it was more fun to do what the girls were doing: it wasn't as stupid as what the boys were doing. I always understood that I was a boy (sometimes wish that I wasn't) and that there was nothing I could do about it. Doesn't mean that I couldn't act like a girl. I guess it's one thing if you're gender fluid, it's another when (and it may be taken negatively, but it's not said in a spirit of hate, I just can't think of a better term for it: someone can help me here) you are gender confused.
I can relate to that. I've always been more like the boys, in play, talk, and even dress. Even though I have had times where I struggled with who I am (for reasons other than Ts) I was always able to settle into myself and be me. It took a very, very long time for me to settle inside and. But I was finally able to be comfortable. Knowing that Ts folk will not ever be able to feel that comfort without altercations or changing themselves is a scary thought for me..
I think, personally, understanding this came down to definitions.
Sex: The Physical Self
Gender: The Internal Self
If your entire essence of being is inside, your personality, your spirit, some call it a soul. If your soul is truely you... but in the wrong body, I don't feel that is called gender confusion. I may be incorrect, I do not know.
What I do know is that this is very real. It's not that someone is simply "confused" or going through a phase. This effects people throughout their lives, and is a constant thing.
MRIs have proven that there is a significant difference in the brains of Ts individuals.
White matter in the brain of a MtF is that of a female, and vis versa for females.
Ivanka Savic-Berglund at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, thinks one of the four regions – the superior longitudinal fascicle – is particularly interesting. "It connects the parietal lobe [involved in sensory processing] and frontal lobe [involved in planning movement] and may have implications in body perception."

I enjoy this sentiment, support is always needed. Buuuut I have to nitpick just a little :P
You make it sound like being TS is something that you suffer from and gain support for. You suffer from society. You are what you are and the problem is when other people decide that their opinions count more than your knowledge. Don't ever, ever, EVER think that you suffer or need support for being TS. What you need support for is dealing with other people. Specifically Americans. Pretty much every other First World country is miles away better than American when it comes to general queer issues.
It's also very well worth mentioning that body mutilations aren't the most common end. That happens if you fly to Thailand and get a cheap-rate doctor who doesn't subscribe to the standards of most countries. Sure, it's affordable, but it's only affordable because the doctor might not have a full medical degree (from a respected university) or because cleanliness practices aren't as strict. Cosmetic surgery is pretty advanced stuff, an in countries that require proper licensing and standards mistakes and mutilations are so rare as to be non-existent. It's nice that you're trying to express how difficult things can be, but at the same time you shouldn't quite make trans-folk look like such a pity case destined for suicide or botched surgeries. Be positive as well - that's what this whole description is about right? Let's focus less on the trauma and pity and more on the therapy options and hope, yeh?

Thank you so much for your comment!
This particular picture was to reach out to those Trans folk who are suffering and going through rough times.
And yes, I completely agree. I don't consider myself to be an expert on this topic in the slightest bit.
I apologize for making it sound offensive, if that's how it came across. Everyone is beautiful and it's what is on the inside that counts to me.
But I feel if someone's insides are hurting because of their outsides, it calls for understanding, help, and attention.
Also, you are very right! Proper cosmetic surgeries are very important and often times save lives, and drastically improves them. By mutilation, I did not mean by surgery. I meant to express that trouble Ts teens have been known to cut off or mutilate their own foreign body parts. I was simply drawing attention to the topic.
Again, I apologize if this is offensive. The picture is to let those suffering know there is a helping hand.
There are always therapy solutions, and hope! Feel free to post links to supportive sites, ideas, and people.
Never hestitate to correct my ignorance on the subject, and always give hope for those in need. :)

Not offensive, just focusing on the bad side of things. There's more to being trans that trauma, pain, and prejudice. A lot of people focus on the bad that can happen and the help that you can receive for things going wrong, but it's just as important to discuss the good times and how to do better. There's two means of support. There's "recovery" as you've put here, where you deal with people in trouble and try to get help. There's also "advancement" where things are not going wrong, but a person still needs support and help to move your life forward. Both parts are essential, though "advancement" type support seems to get a lot less attention.
Coming to terms with things and getting past trauma is only the start. The next part is living the rest of your life.

What is this that is falling out of your mouth? What you want a feel good story?
Your nitpicking has honestly nothing to do with what the piece means at all, you're talking about surgires and other crap with a cissexist tone ,. If you want to write a dissertation on the inaccessibility of surgery and horomones you can take that crap elsewhere, not on a post where someone is trying to make space to voice the reality of pain caused to the trans/Queer/Quiltbagpipe communitity while willingly ignore and invaliate it.
Seriously. How dare you occupy a space for folks to vent pain, and then tell them the equivalent of "cheer up! Shit happens".
And bodily mutilations,Its is highly cissexist to call top and or bottom surgery a mutilation. This is their body to alter and cherish for life, what they do with it is their own business and not theirs to denigrate it with words like mutilation, as if their choices is unacceptable to do with their bodies.
As for "cheap" surgery in Thailand as if its a monolith of poor people where surgery is always accessible by a back alley pharmacist, you need to account for the fact that plane tickets arent cheap, finding a surgeon isnt cheap or easy, you'll need a translator if you arent familiar with the native language, and that theres the exact same unlicensed surgeons and surgeries in america too. Most of which have been know to kill poor black trans women here. And that thailand also suffers from cissexism and that transwomen are killed there too on the regular.
Considering transfolk are being killed, arent offered therapy, are poor and cant afford to even get knock off shit nevertheless a plane ticket, and are commiting suicide cause no one listens
Sooooo it's not just first world problems , please stop talking if you have no expierence with the subject , 98 percent of Cis folks don't know any of this.
If you're going to be an ally learn ask questions research cause other than that you're useless.

That was for the upper post , also I understand what you said in the following but you started off invalidating their piece and then followed with the generic answer " but things get better" but that's not always true.
I'm not arguing I'm telling you what you did, just clarify yourself , that's all.
Cause you can't actually speak for folks.

You are right. I'd also like to add: We ALL suffer from society, we don't even know how much. Do you have any idea how far each of us and all of us could go if we were all more open and friendly? If we supported and encouraged people instead of scolding them and cutting them down? Society does a lot of cutting down, always telling you how wrong or unworthy you are for doing something on your own. Trans* people suffer denial of the most basic part of existence, but we all easily suffer other parts.
About body mutilations, for all the transgender people that I've known, almost everyone/everyone often very strongly considered it in some period of their life. And by considered I mean couldn't wait any longer for the mercy of those doctors to allow them to go to a proper surgery, they couldn't bear such existence any longer and just had to do it, and struggled barely not to. That's what I know from a good number of people. Even if it doesn't happen as often, it often exists and is a big issue, even if "just" being a fight inside their whole minds and souls.

Great timing, this comes on the eve of me leaving for the Chicago Be-all Conference. The Be-all is a gathering of hundreds of TS/CD/MtF/FtM and any other acronym you can think of. Basically its the "T" in LGBT. We travel from all corners of the nation and this is their 30th year of convening; fortunately Chicago tends to host it a lot as its the 11th time here.
While I'm there, I can dress the way I want to dress, talk the way I want to talk, eat, drink, dance, party, etc. without feeling embarrassed and in the company of many others doing exactly the same thing. I've attended another years ago and had a blast. Due to money constraints and military obligations I've missed the past two years, but this year I'm going.
Its nothing connected to furry so I never advertised or talked about it much here in FA, but if anyone is interested and can try to make it next year; take a look into http://www.be-all.org/index.html
The website is pretty no frills and really doesn't do a good job explaining what they are and what they do at the conference, but it gives a general idea of the panels and activities. It actually started earlier this week on Tuesday, but I could not take that much time off work for it. So I'm just going for the 3-day weekend.

I may not be Transgender but I sure know how it is to feel as if you were in the wrong physical body,being genderfluid I hate feeling so physically one-sided all the time. It's very frustrating. And puberty--don't even get me started... the hormones, the bodily changes, and all the mental chaos :/ it's terrible.
This is a damn good piece of art!
And hits the nail on the head, a lot of this is what folks like me deal with especially the misgendering and the blatant misuse of someone's pronouns , maybe draw a few queer folks of color/ non black queers of color too!
I hope you make more!
I'm glad to say you're on your way to having a queer safe/positive /friendly art space . Please make more!
Ask questions if you need help <3

Heterosexual, Bisexual, Homosexual, Transsexual, Asexual and all the other sexuals out there... no matter what there is always one common factor: we are all still human
Bravo to you AE, this is something that needs to be said loudly to anyone willing to listen and to those who refuse to listen (maybe a bit louder to them), it is a fine piece of art that does what it's supposed to do, it reaches out and makes you feel... so once more, bravo

I just flew over the commets posted so far and I picked up some terms and statements like 'soul gender' and 'we are still human'. Stereotypical thinking is a thing the human mind got transferred by nature during evolution. It tells you from your subconscious that everything needs an oppisit, that all is black and ...., day and ...., good and ...., male and .... see what I mean? everyone thinks stereotypically, and trying to resist it, is like trying to not rub your eyes when you got dust in them. It was good and usefull back in the days we used to live in caves and forest, kept us from staying out in the night and being killed by wild animals I guess.
But our mind reached a post gender state, which sets us above the primitive thinking of 'yes and no' which forces people to think about a 'maby'. Maby this person is different, maby this person doesn't fit my mindset, maby I'll have to broaden my mind to actually get what this person, THIS HUMAN is about. The first step is to stop thinking in he or she. Between black and white, there are grey tones, between day and night are dusk, noon, dawn, etc. good and bad is a matter of opinion and between male and female, there is the future of mankind.
Humanity reached an apex from which it can dramatically fail, or vastly ascent to finally do what it was created for (of what I have no clue about it could be xD but I doubt it is 'work your ass off so few can be rich and most are poor' ) but before that, we have to get rid of our stiff and heavily aged mindsets. Human evolution stoped, because we stoped thinking evolutionairy.
I consider myself postgender, which oviously doesn't match my biological sex (what I vastly separate from each other) , and this apperently makes me pansexual, cause I basically am drawn to HUMANS.
(My hope is, that if our society stops being a stereotypical bitching machine, people will/can stop worrying about their gender cause no one get's offended anymore. but as most things that are bad to our kind, this is empowered by economy (imo the modern word for capitalism, even though it used to mean something good))

I've never been confused by my sexuality, but i do have an awful lot of trans friends and male friends who wish they could be little girls, and hearing stories of what they had to endure and go through, and sometimes STILL endure just makes me so sad. This is one of the most powerful pieces i've ever seen here on FA
You did a very good job here of portraying what transpeople do face.
That feeling of loneliness...being different and unsure if people will accept that difference...the high tensions during puberty.
But, there are also some lighter times too. Those cherished times when we can be what we feel we were meant to be (usually while the parents and everyone else is away).
Overall, a very well done piece.

i knew i was trans since i was able to talk... i grew up as my moms "barbie" i wanted to be like my brother shaving my head and playing with toy cars but my mom made me play dress up and do my hair... i've been bullied, ive been, in beaten up, spit on, grounded, rejected, unspoken, and i just feel like this walking mistake every day , this picture touched me, im happy to know some one out there tries to understand, someone who cares... because people hear just think im a freak and think that i should be shot, I'm 15, my parents think im a freak, my mom kinda knows and i told my dad but he grounded me sayin im brain washed...
-hugs tight-
I'm so sorry you have had to struggle so much in your life sweety. You are such a beautiful and strong person to be able to stand up in the face of everything and STILL hold true to who you are inside. That takes real strength; hang in there, things WILL get better. I know it doesn't seem like it, but they will not control you forever. One day, you will be your own individual and going through all this will build you up and make you better and stronger than you could ever believe.
I am open to talk if you ever need someone.

and it's ok to vent every night. that does not make you weak, my friend. keep staying strong. You know that you have this whole community to vent to, and if you need a shoulder to lean on, you can always give me a holler
I too, have been picked on, beat, spit on, molested, felt sooooo out of place everyday. I may not be transgender, but most of the time, honestly I do feel more like a male than a female (henceforth my male fursona, Ace. I even got him tattooed on me to show that I'm serious), but luckily I have my mate who likes BOTH sides of me. I didn't have much of a problem with puberty, it was more in high school that I felt more like a male, due to the cliques around me, totally turned me off on what I was born as, and STILL does to this day, I CANNOT stress how much I dislike the female majority today (MOST of the majority, excuse me).
but ANYWAYS, back to you lol sorry...like I said, just because you break every night, doesn't make you weak. If you always kept it in, it would be seriously gnarly if you let it out all at once, it's not good for you, so it's much better for you if you let it out every night if you have to. *hugs*

You have done a wonderful job defending the transgender community. I had a transgender cashier (first one I've actually met ), and he was the nicest person there (it was at walmart). And I witnessed this managed completely ignore him, and the others treat him like garbage...it's disgusting, so I made him feel better by telling him I liked his make up and that walmart is full of communists, and he laughed and hi-fived me, it made his night
You've summed things up accurately in the art as well as the description. That's really as complimentary as I can get when dealing with artwork of this subject though. The hell won't end until we evolve into one gender, or are able to remove our brains and encase them in synthetic bodies. Sounds far-out perhaps, but I hope it will become reality very soon.
I know how they must feel. I want to read Garvey and Baraka and agree with what they said, I want to enjoy basketball and listen to the Philadelphia sound. I look at the red, black, and green and feel jealous. I consider myself a "trans", in a different way and my fursona is a reflection of that.

And once I get that fursuit head, I won't have to ask "What if?" anymore.

I am not ''trans'' but maybe something near, sissy (as I don't want to become a female). Maybe my experience is more gay-related tho.
I kept silence and became an expert liar overtime...The hardest part in all this is the privation of a capital need: Love. It is true that all my friend were talking about how they like girl and all and I was just there, not feeling a single thing, socialy mentaly blocked of thinking farther than that. 10 years later I still never met anyone, wasn't even searching, until i just breaks those fucking idiot socials barriers. And yup many scars remains from that lonely trip to hells.

I can't say I've experienced said abuse personally but that's because I keep that aspect of my life to myself and a few close friends, the one time I did mention it to my parents they did however say it was a "phase". Guess my point is for 27 years I've lived a lie outwardly portraying the "guy" people expect whilst online I can acually be female like my head says I am. Puberty has made it nearly impossible for me to even dress up anymore as I feel ugly and know I pretty much look it, girls clothes are designed for feminine figures not a males like mine.
Add the fact that you have to get approved by pyschologists to get Gender Reassignment treatment and I think it's 2 years in the UK as living as a "female" even when your physical appearance doesn't work for that has meant I am basically stuck as a male till I die, thanks life for giving me the wrong chromosomes XD
