Below is my opinion on Trannies, feel free to read it or simply offer your own opinion on Trannies. Do you feel one can ever truly be the other gender or is it a practice in futility?
I believe that being a Tranny is a pointless venture, why? Simply put, one born of their sex can never fully become the other. They can say, "oh I was meant to be a man/woman." But they couldn't possibly understand the other sex, there's things that are simply inherent to men and women that make us fundamentally different from birth. This stems from cultural influence and natural gender enforcing factors.
A woman will never know a man's desire to be a father, nor can she know our inherent irrational behavior to defend our honor over small things, a will to fight simply to fight over testosterone and such. She can't fully understand what makes a man a man in the same way a man can't understand what being a woman really means. I've seen things occur between a mother and daughter that are baffling, a woman, regardless of how close I get to know one, still acts in ways that I can't predict, unlike say, my brother, whose feelings I can very well guess and know where they stem from.
Honestly, a tranny is essentially an insult to the gender they attempt to copy. As if one born as a male can ever fully understand the complexity of a woman or a woman ever becoming a man like a penis is the only thing that separates genders.
So why do trannies do it to begin with? I suppose it's all up to the individual, but if I had to take a stab at it, I'd say they some how feel lost as an individual and either their effeminate or masculine nature in contrast to their sex (possibly due to hormonal imbalances) pushes them to believe happiness will come to them if they fully embrace the opposite sex and become them. Although one could argue a mere placebo affect and that their unhappiness is more of a psychological problem and not a "I have one penis too many/few"
I think it would be much easier and a lot less expensive to simply embrace the gender you were born as.
