2. I can't begin to understand what transsexuals go through
I just know it's very real and that they don't feel comfortable in their own skins until those changes are made.

Their brains are very different from those of us who accept the gender our bodies developed.

Right now, we know enough to do body surgery. We don't know enough to do effective brain surgery/medication/alteration.

While it would be nice to think everybody should be just like we normally developed people are, that is just not happening.

It's not our job to understand what they're going through. It's our job to accept them for who they are at any point in the transformation and support them as fellow human beings.
