^ Very true, but you could say that about anything - don't read, watch, look, care. It's the antithesis of discussion, which this was intended to be.

I skimmed your post.

I don't see much value in it for me, because I'm not trans. But I do see the potential value in it to some trans kid who really NEEDS to read someone else' average trans life story just for the simple lesson to learn that they, too, can lead a normal average every day life & that just because they're trans doesn't mean they're some sort of fringe circus freak.

Just because there isn't value in it to you, doesn't mean there isn't value in it to someone.

Gay people like myself now have decades worth of "out" gay people's lives to learn from. Trans people? Not so much.. yet, so, these relatively early autobiographies could have a major positive impact on some kids' lives.
