Also, you would no doubt recognize me from BLOL as we are both a part of that. And, to be completely honest with you, you had made some statements on BLOL that had me thinking that you wanted nothing to do with the trans community. So to actually see you come o here and say that you are trans comes as a surprise to me. If I am wrong about that, then okay. I must have mistaken you as someone else. Otherwise, an explanation might help me to understand some more.
And welcome to MU.

An easier way to think about it is as trans as a spectrum from male to female and non-binary in the middle (it gets more complicated, but I think looking at it as a spectrum is good for an introduction).

Hmm I don't remember saying negative things about the trans community on BLOL, besides maybe that I feel frustrated by the rest of the LGBTQ community in general for not wanting anything to do with MAPs. But ya I'm trans on estrogen, but feel like a mix of a boy and a girl and use they/them pronouns. There is a thread on BLOL about how i voluntarily surgically removed my testicals by the way.

Thanks for the welcome

Yeah, I can understand how LGBT is a spectrum as I too am on that spectrum. But I am a cisgendered gay male who is also a BL. I don't know if I will ever fully understand what you are saying here but if I saw myself as either male or female ( or possibly both ), it is just hard for me to understand where the trans part fits in. Becuase most who identify as trans feel as if they were born into the wrong gender. As of the God ( or the universe, if you prefer ) made some kind of mistake.
And I can say that being a gay cisgendered male who happens to like both adults and minors often puts me in a weird position regarding the LGBT community. So I can understand about your feelings in regards to the LGBT community. I bear no hard feelings towards but I do have a hard time understanding the terminology that had come into use within the LGBT community. None of that terminology was there when I came out as gay many years ago. But I do suppose that is why we have communities such as this one. So that we can discuss these things and try to find some common ground. Again, welcome to MU.
