But these people don’t feel that way. That’s the whole thing-they are NOT content in the body they have- they feel absolutely that they are living in the wrong body.
I find it all quite confusing at times, but that’s because I’m fairly uneducated about it, even after having read two books trying to understand it all. I think your attitude is the correct one-admitting you don’t get it, but erring on the side of tolerance. Many people who don’t get it seem to think that the fact that they don’t understand it automatically means it shouldn’t be tolerated, that it is inherently bad, or that these people can’t actually feel the way they do, or that they are delusional and should be shut down.
