Great list! I have heard almost all of these and they are definately not true! The one cracked me up about trans women not being successful as men, though. When I went to SCC a few transwomen asked me to go to dinner with them. We went to a VERY fancy restaurant. They were all doctors and one was a neurosurgeon as a "back up" She had 3 houses and aprivate jet. As a college grad, she founded a company that supplies medical test results to hospitals and Doctors offices. Then she went to med school "for fun"
ReplyDeleteI got this list from a facebook transgender page. I had to share it and put my input on most of them. Yeah, I already have one degree in Business and now I am going to school for Psychology. I just am going for fun I am disabled and cannot work so it give me something to do.
