Depressing conversations about transness with loved ones. I feel very dented now.

What do you think about people who question the notion of transness because the notion of gender itself is problematic? Like: "gender is not a meaningful concept; we should all be beyond gender, so a desire or need to change gender is pointless or even pathetic." This argument hurts a lot because it shows a real lack of understanding and thats something that is really hurtful to get from people you love.

I wish I had a better counter than i) in a post gender world, maybe, but not here, or ii) easy for you to say...

@Eve

sorry you're having to deal with that crap. sounds like bullshit.

"gender dysphoria is real. my brain feels my body should be different. physical transition is widely acknowledged as the only way to successfully treat that painful dissonance between mind and body."
