Sex is just a physical form, behavior is personality

As most of my friends know, I have what is known as gender dysphoria. For those of you who need that dumbed down; I wish I had been born a male and think more like a 'man'. Weird to say it out loud. The reason this is my state of being is because all my life , instead of hearing things like 'Elle is Elle' I heard 'oh my god everything you do is what little boys do. that is what boy do. Little girls don't act like that.' so I grew up with the notion, that instead of just being 'who I am' my gender was what defined my actions, or should have. I grew up with the idea that because I was female I was supposed to act a certain way, and because I did not, I was acting like a man. That is the root of the issue of gender dysphoria. Now. to expand. I am aware that what I think is me wanting to be a male, is just me wanting to be myself. I don't want male anatomy. I mean, okay yeah if I had it I would be doing some things that a girl DEFINITELY would not do. The thing is. I want to be me. I want to wear cargo pants. I want to sit with my legs open. I want to make crude jokes and play video games. I want to do things typically considered 'male' activities. This is who I am. The issue people have with this, is that it is not 'female' behavior. Stop that. That is the issue that causes gender problems. You assign actions to gender. No. Don't assign color. Don't assign actions, or behaviors to one gender or another. That is what causes people to question their gender. THAT is what causes the confusion and causes people to think they need to CHANGE their gender to make themselves fit who they are. They are already perfect as who they are. stop telling them their behavior is not fitting of their gender. Suicide rates are high among trans people because they realize that even though they changed their gender, people are still judging them. They can't handle the physical changes. They don't understand how changing their outward appearance did not help and their depression grows worse. You want people to stop being trans? Stop fucking labeling actions and behaviors to genders. Gender is just what you are born with. Sex is just what you are BORN with. It does not define your personality. It does not define your interests and it should not LIMIT your behaviors and capabilities just because of standards set by society. People want rights to fight for? people want acceptance in the world for who they are? Then fight for that. Fight for people to be able to be who they are without their actions being considered masculine or feminine. I will never act on my urge to want to be a man, because I know that the urge stems from years of hearing how my behaviors and interests were not fitting of a woman. I know that my being a 'fuck boy' is because of social conditioning. For those of you who are struggling with the idea that you are not your right gender because you don't 'act' right. Please, don't feel that way. You are perfect the way you are. What is between your legs and on your chest does NOT define your personality. does not DEFINE who you should and should not love. You are beautiful just how you are and you should not have to change to be better! Those of you who believe you want to change because you truly do not want to stay your gender I wish you luck with your transformation and I accept you as who you say you are. what is between your legs and on your chest does not matter to me. You are who you are and I love you or hate you regardless.

You can only control You

I love the ideal world that I know some people live in in their heads where everyone can win and no one can ever lose and no one is ever going to suffer again because human suffering is the bane of our existence and we need to fix it all (joke was in there on purpose thank you). I really wish I could live in that world too. Except, in that world, humans will eventually over populate the earth and destroy our ecosystems by causing a lack of resources not only for EVERYTHING THE HELL ELSE but also US. Yeah. I really wish Famine, war, death, destruction and disease weren't a thing. I really wish Kids weren't starving in Africa, and that the media would stop crying about it and actually do something about it. I wish people weren't justifying dumping oil and all kinds of things. But you know what? they are. The world is a terrible place. Humans are terrible creatures. But you know what else? You don't have to be one. You don't have to be racist or dump oil in the ocean, you don't have to starve kids in Africa or hunt or do w/e makes you uncomfortable. But you shouldn't force others to go out of their way to make others comfortable either. In this world you get one life. One chance. Leave the mark you want to leave on it. If you want tattoos and your high alcohol tolerance to be the mark you leave. go for it. If you want to make a difference and try and save thousands of lives. Go for it. Try and come up with something Ecological. Do your thing. Stop judging others. The worst crime humans commit on this earth, weather they are activists or lazy af like myself, is judging others. Activists judge just as much as anyone else and don't say they don't. They judge others for not doing enough, not caring enough, not being involved enough. While the rest of us who don't really care judge others for doing too much, not understanding us, forcing their crap down our throats. Then you have the other extreme where they are doing WAY TO MUCH BAD STUFF. And yeah. we judge them too. Because seriously? Chill... No need to be racist, dump oil in oceans, starve kids in Africa. Chill. Everyone. Just needs to chill. Some more than others. If you ever find yourself sitting there hating someone because they do something or don't do something. Just remember, You can change yourself. Not them. You can't control what the people around you do. The more you try the more unhappy you make everyone else, and yourself. You can only control your own actions, your own emotions, and your own involvement in the planet. When I was playing sports my mother used to tell me that I shouldn't hate on my teammates, because I flipping hated most of them most of the time. They would blame me for everything, turn around and yell at me for mistakes they made and never take the blame. SO I would turn around and do it back. Then my mom sat me down. And she flat out told me 'If you keep blaming them for everything. You can't change a thing. You tell them to fix it, and if they don't, it's not going to change. However, if you take responsibility, and you decide to fix it. It will change. You can only control you. So do it. Take responsibility.' That is one of the best things I've ever heard. 
The rant started a bit weird sorry about that. But I hope all my friends are remembering, that they can only take charge of them. Remember, be the change you want to see. Because you are only able to do so much, start with yourself.
