Now I really am confused.  All this time thinking that I was confused, and now I find out I'm not.  That is confusing.

Sadly, I don't think it's going to slow our detractors down, though.  "OK, so you're not confused.  You're just f*** up.  What's the difference?"

No matter.  We shall overcome!

Well I'm confused now too because if we aren't confused that means they are which means we are normal and they are not haha. Nah, but honestly who cares what our detractors think? If we give into the notion that we aren't mean to be or that we were wrong from the get go, even though I've identified as a woman since I can remember, then we are really confused. There may be a mix up in our emotions while trying to cope and figure out reality mixed in with our own world, but real confusion doesn't exist within ourselves unless we make it ourselves. Hope that wasn't confusing hehe

Oh yeah, this is good..!

But I'm confused cuz I thought I used to be confused, but I must have been confused because they say I really wasn't confuse.

I feel much better now.!

. . . But since their confusion, bless their heart, is because they have a defect in their empathy glands, we can only guide and be grateful not to be them.

Yes, well, some cisgender people I've spoken to, you wouldn't even call them confused. Their understanding isn't anywhere near that level. It's about at the same level as their empathy.

OH yeah I'm just "EFFED" up.  Never was confused though.

I learned this stuff when I was 14 or 15 just from reading psychology books and coming to some conclusions of my own. Oh back then it wasn't "popular". We were shunned and none of us were models or on HBO specials but pretty much the same conclusions with my weak assed brain and mind as this study. Now it seems to be popular with Lavernge Cox, Andre "Whatever" and Bruce Jenner and a few celebrity's girlfriends. The L's, G's and B's went through the same thing. Maybe now it's our turn. I hope anyway.

It is they who are confused. Cis got to two and the confusion of what came next has been with them ever since.
It's evident in their confused excuses that can't quite reach past that two point in their spinning brains when it comes to gender.
I had it explained to me by one who related it to the binary system that computers use. If it was meant to have or would run better on more than just binary...
I was laughing pretty hard as I walked away from that one, even most of the other cis who overheard that one were shaking their heads.
So confused about gender? "Well it's like a computer you see..." yeppers, confused they are.
Really, how can you not be confused when it is right in front of you and you can't see it's there?
"That one could be a zero? On could be off?" I told one once that it's to them like a dimmer switch is to most people.
The screwed up face was priceless. Confused over even a dimmer switch. See my finger? See my thumb? yeah not only are you dumb, but what the hell are all those other fingers in between?
You were made that way, even your feet. Two eyes and ears, yep, but one mouth to speak intelligently out of instead of your one and only...
If we were confused, then why did they make so many studies about it? And still got it wrong most of the time, when they could've just asked someone.
Which they did, but asked so many confusing questions they came up with,.. That's right, confused.
I'd say they are confused, and it really is easy to confuse them even more. Just tell them the truth and it is frustratingly confusing to them.
"But how can,.. but what about,.. well there is this one thing I heard one day that uhh,... What was the question?"

Hi, Folks! Here's a couple of follow-up stories on the one I gave a link to earlier. This stuff is so beautiful. This makes me want to cry. The days are coming, brothers and sisters, when transkids are going to be allowed to be transkids so that they can grow up to be healthy, happy, well-adjusted trans adults.

I don't think I'll live to see that day. But those of you who are younger, when you see it, yell out, "Hey, Foxglove! You were right!" Don't worry. I'll hear you up in trans heaven where I'll be living in my celestial, proper body. I'll give a big smile and a thumbs-up.

Yep. We'll be yelling our heads off like a pair of old fools. Who cares? We'll be over the moon.

By the way, I went to an LGBT group last night that I go to fairly often. I told everybody about these articles, and of course they were delighted.

You know, Shan, I've been thinking about this, and I think this is a huge victory for our side. When two ordinary people talk things over and realize that Kenneth Zucker is full of sh***, that is a big moment. Sometimes you get to the point in a game when you feel that the momentum has shifted to your side, that you've got on top of the opposition and if you just stick with it, they won't come back at you. That was the feeling that came over me when I read these articles.

(Oh, and a (T-)girl-friend of mine and I had a good laugh last night. Her older daughter will soon be doing her first Holy Communion. The girl is the tomboy type and she's declared that she absolutely will not wear one of those communion dresses. She wants to wear a pair of white trousers. I told my friend, "You need to lay down the law. Tell her, 'You are a girl, and you will wear a dress!'")

You're so right about that Annabelle, invariably the pendulum swings the other direction, lets hope as in the Poe classic "Pit and the Pendulum" that it cleaves the guts out of the opposition's arguments.

It's just starting for the friend's daughter having her first communion, having been raised as a Catholic in my youth I can attest to the various pressures. Fortunate for her the parent will understand and she's lucky unlike so many other kids with boneheadedly blind cis parents.
