Survey Results

any of the categories applied to me. Perhaps I was simply very lucky or things were better in the UK years ago than they appear to be in the US at present.

I heard many things that happened to me; however, I never made the big step. Still, I am happier knowing the inner me. There are no do overs.

I remember when

it was that bad in Canada.
Now, things are dramatically better than then.

Stupidity is a capital offense. A summary not indictable.

We know what's wrong with the system

One survey after another and the problems are still there. Hell, let's take a few more surveys and see if it gets any better! I want to throw up! We need solutions not surveys to tell us trans are usually caught between a rock and a hard place. How many have to be caught in limbo not able to afford the medical, buying drugs off the black market manufactured only God knows where, selling their bodies, stealing, shunned by society as unclean, dying when found out or committing suicide..., The list is almost endless.

If we can have welfare, foreign aid, trillions put into bailing out banks, Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, and hundred of thousands paid to each politician each year. Why in the hell can't we spend a few million on the smallest minority and give them a start to their life so they can have a chance to live as normal a life as everyone else?

Sadly...

...the prevailing political attitude in the US (and increasingly the UK) is that spending government money on companies is good, spending government money on people is bad. With the US and health coverage, it seems as though no attempt at reform could stand a hope's chance in hell of getting passed (or even voted on by any politician from either party) if it didn't substantially increase the revenue / profits of almost any company involved in health insurance or provision.

There's also an attitude among some groups of people that taxation is robbing them at gunpoint, and if you can't afford anything, tough luck, it's your own fault, and you shouldn't expect to get any charity - especially not from the government.

As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!

Believe

I participated in the survey and can attest to having answered in the affirmative to some of the questions. My experience being that I lost a job due to false complaints regarding my performance, after I came out at work. I was black listed in my region and unable to get a new job for 14 months, even with 19 years experience as a nurse. Something that I had never experienced as my male persona. I was kicked out of my home and had to live with a friend until I was able to find a new place to live, 4 months waiting for that to happen.

Overall, it suck to have to go through this but I persevered and have overcome. I now have a great job and love what I do. To my fellow persons who feel there is no improvement, there is if you continue to strive forward and keep a positive attitude.
