Do your RESEARCH!

I am really tired of hearing guys make definitive statements regarding different aspects of the transition process when they haven't done their research. What is even MORE annoying is when you try and educate these knuckle-heads and they want to argue with you. For example when people make statements about how "bottom surgery doesn't work!" ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME! I know plenty of guys who have had lower surgery and their penis' more than work! Also what the hell do you mean "work?" What kind of word is that for describing someone's penile function anyway?! Then you can site sources and all that but asses still don't want to hear it!

There are also the ones who you will be telling them what happened to YOU and they are telling you it's not possible.

"You can't get your ID/DL changed anywhere without surgery"- NOT TRUE!
"You can't change your name unless you are on T"- NOT TRUE!
"You can't have top surgery without being on T"- NOT TRUE!
"You can't get T without an Endocrinologist"- NOT TRUE!
"You can't legally marry ANYONE if you transition"- NOT TRUE!
"You can't get T/Top surgery/ hysto/lower surgery covered by insurance"- NOT TRUE!

With all of the things mentioned there are SOME situations in which they might apply BUT in many situations THEY ARE NOT TRUE!

Stop making damn generalizations! If you aren't sure do your research and if someone gives you information to educate you DON'T BE AN ASS! Listen to them and find sources or examples of where you can see this information for yourself if you are skeptical!

  1. Word. I also hate when guys ask for resources and when you give them some, they don't use them. And they bitch some more that they have nothing around them.

    If I'm going to help you out, use the information. Don't waste my time.
