That is not at all what i am saying at all. That's the second one on this topic to twist my words to fit what they think is the kind of person I am. If you want to read negatively you'll find it everywhere.
Let me state the obvious here. People who are in this situation have to make some tough decisions. I know it sucks, I have friends who went through this and yet I can't even begin to imagine how tough it gets first hand. It does drastically change their lives for the better, but it has consequences. They lose family, they lose friends, and in case of the subject at hand they might lose their job too.
That sucks, but for the vast majority it's still worth it big time in order to be yourself.
As easy it would be if we never had to challenge any of the norms that society has decided.
Could you elaborate on what you mean by that as a response to my post?
