In general 'any' physical difference in a peson to me is not a consideration as to who the person is themselves. Having grown up openmined I just dont see people in boxes. Tho over the years I have found myself more drawn ,to the for lack of my mind finding anything better, to those who are the underdogs. Perhaps its the empath in me or just the way Im wired. I just see people as unique individuals however they are.
So yes, I am accepting of someone that feels they dont have the right body and did or didnt do anything about it.
I was raised to not judge any group of people. I taught this to my kids by example, and have watched them grow up treating anyone that was in any way different as they would anyone else.
My motto let people live the way the want. Accceptance goes along way, even if not understanding.
People are drawn to the people that fit their likes, nothing wrong with that. Its how one is wired I guess.
I could go to alot depends on how you were raised, location, preconcieved notions. But I guess Im far enough off topic and the original intent of the thread.
As far as the OP, is she looking for validation that she is passable, since she stated that other than passable not 'within her defination' should not be validated just as honestly. I honestly cant figure out even with her trying to valilate her OP is just for a specific group. I find her specifics still somewhat vague.
If she is just worried about how people are going to react to her at this event, my guess is it will probably be as mixed as this thread is, just in a smaller group.
The topic brings out alot of thoughts of varying degrees so I'll stop here, since there are so many veins leading off from original post that I find interesting.
