Why to transgender people judge transgender people?

This has been on my mind a lot lately. It’s bad enough that everyone runs around judging everyone else. Putting down, condemning, bullying, and treating those who are different in any way shape or form. But that is life. However, when people who are a part of the minority group who are on the receiving end of that start doing the same to others within that same community, there is a very big and very real problem. Why would a transgender person who is persecuted, judged, bullied, and made to feel less than, do that to another transgender person? Because you don’t understand how they can identify as one thing, but act as another? Or because, even though you don’t fall into the societal norm, you judge others in your community because they don’t match up with your normal, even though they are a part of that same community? Really people! There are no norms, everyone is different, and we are not called “Individual” for nothing. Each and every one of us are different on so many levels.

It was around this time that I started asking friends if I could try on their sister’s shoes. Some said yes, and others no. I had one friend who had an older sister who wore bell bottom jeans and platform sandals. I always tried to get him to bring me a pair of her jeans and platform shoes. One time I spent the night and he finally did it. Late that night he painted my toenails red, and I put on the bell bottom
