You obviously don't have someone very close to you this effects. I feel this way about the person I care about, doesn't mean I feel this way about every person.
All we are saying is that the onus is not on us to tiptoe around so as not to offend the weird. It's not up to you to feel guilty about your brothersister. It's up to himher to make himher's family feel comfortable.
And I never said anyone on here had to do anything. I just expressed things that are going on in my head because this hits close to home. You may do whatever you want, and I will too.
I am not related to any trannies. I have however, like everyone else on the planet, had a family member with issues/life style choices that I did not agree with. It does no good in my experience, to tread lightly simply out of an unstated request by the other person to keep quiet. You can be honest without being cruel. It's a typical human trait to contemplate a potential conversation or interaction and then blow it out of proportion. It's why some folks get fired via text or dump a partner by email. Things rarely end up as bad as we think it will. I just happen to think that a relationship goes much better if you are straight up honest.....unless of course a girl's ass really does look fat in her jeans.
Who said I don't agree with this person? Its not my place to agree or disagree with someone for being who they are. They are who they are and being someone that is connected to me by blood, I can support them or just be a selfish dick. I choose not to be a selfish dick. A lot of people who go through what this person is going through commit suicide, and I'm just going to do my best to be compassionate, and supportive. I have no idea what this must feel like. It would tear me the fuck up if it was me. Maybe I would be a weak person and just end it. I don't know. Me airing on the side of caution with my words, actions for someone I care about doesn't seem like too much of a burden.
Not that I know of, but there must be some in me, because I'm 100% ass man. Female ass that is, don't want to confuse anyone in a Jenner thread!
As are you my friend. As are you. Don't you have as much right to be yourself and have your opinions? That's really my point. They can support you as well.....without implying or calling you a dick. People the world over have issues that "other people don't understand". I don't know if trannies have a genetic predisposition to suicide or not. I do know that people who have other genetic predispositions are just as responsible for their own life and their own feelings. It does no good IMO, to use kid gloves and pretend everything is okay. Look, I already said you are not the type to say or do anything cruel. That doesn't mean you can't be honest. Honesty does not equal cruelty. Your family member has just as much responsibility to accept you for you as you seem to feel for them. Does that make sense?
