I don't know if feeling like you're the opposite gender of what you were born is natural or unnatural. I don't know if undergoing hormone therapy and even surgery to correct such a feeling is right or wrong. Just because we can do something with modern medicine, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the right thing to do, nor does it mean it's the wrong thing to do.

I know exactly how I'd feel if a loved one came out to me as gay. I wouldn't care. If someone came out as transgender though? I don't know how I feel about that. I don't know how I'd react in the first five minutes after such a revelation and I don't know how I'd feel about it a year later.

I'm not saying I hate transgender people, or think they're awful for feeling the way they feel and taking the actions they take. It's not my place to judge them for their decisions as individuals if their decisions aren't hurting anyone. I don't know if it's healthy though and that's where my doubts come from.

ps her name is Laura, it's really rude to use the wrong name+pronouns

Fixed. I think. Thank you.
