• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    Hiikaru: I read your entire post and I don't have any arguments for the parts addressed to my crossdressing anecdote (why would I? I agreed with what you were saying about it being harmful, after all) and no right to speak on the rest of the stuff you posted but I do want to address this: As I...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    I wasn't looking for a trans* person to tell me they were fine with it; I was looking for a trans* person to tell me if they would find this crossdressing theme offensive and (hopefully) give reasons. Jolty gave some reasons why he didn't think it was offensive (that is, that crossdressing and...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    yes. cis people are oppressing you. no one is denying that. however the way you're wording it it makes it sound as if ALL cis people are oppressing you and that they don't want to change the fact that you're oppressed. I'm cis and I can't help it. But I don't go around arguing that trans*...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    I'm done arguing because I feel like this has been derailed enough and I don't want to get deeper into it, however I do want to address this one point: when. "Hijacking the conversation because a couple of statements offended me" is not necessarily "anti-trans*". I do apologize for turning the...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    Point taken. I suppose because this conversation is the ongoing one it seems easier to ask questions, though?

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    This is true. That is fair! However, no one's asking you to immediately trust the cis community, but more simply to not get defensive and angry when they haven't expressed any outright anti-trans* sentiments! I suppose you have a point! However cis people are not the ones seeking rights...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    As I mentioned, I was going to stay out of the conversation until the cis-hate came up. Which isn't exactly endearing :/ but I mean often uneducated cis people will have a lot of questions about the trans* community! Asking questions should not be grounds for anger!

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    But at the same time, the general consensus here seems to be that the cis community is one of ignorance and hate. By not letting them take part in a trans* discussion, how are they supposed to understand the trans* community if they genuinely want to? It seems like it would be easy for a cis...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    okay I was going to stay faaaaaar away from this discussion but I just want to say. This seems like a gross generalization. Like cis people, by nature of being cis, are automatically oppressing and hurting the trans* community. While it is true that the prevalence of the idea that "cis is the...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    if sexuality can be a spectrum, it physical expression of sex can be a spectrum, if gender can be a spectrum, why can't the interaction of gender + sex be a spectrum?
