Okay, so I just got out of anthro class, and today it was not so boring. I know, I know, it just seems really weird that such a thing could happen, especially with our teacher. Well, that is the only way it could happen. Without our teacher J.
Today we had a guest speaker, a transgender individual.
Very odd. You could really feel it in the mood of the class. This was a female to male person, and he has been the way he is for about two years now. He started taking the hormone stuff about six months before his actual operation. Ill try to list off a few details if I can remember:
You have to declare yourself (and sign papers saying so) mentally ill, with your condition being gender identity issues.
It is way easier to go from a female to a male, because (get this) testosterone overpowers estrogen. Plus, if you were a guy and went to a girl, then you would have this girls body on a guys frame. Weird.
There are some things that are inappropriate to put on here, but they were kinda interesting.
He has a girlfriend, and she has been with him for two years strong now.
He underwent surgery when he was about twenty, and he is twenty-two now.
He finds that guys are actually more receptive of the fact that he is a trans-gendered individual, as opposed to the women.
Pretty interesting. If you just saw him on the street, you would really have no idea that he was a girl at one point. He just looks like a normal guy. A little small (not really, but compared to me he is), but indistinguishable to tell from other people.
My nose is stuffy.
