Have been told this exact same thing by friends and even my teachers in School!
There is a BIG difference between Trans and Gay.
Stop saying "It's a choice"!
We don't choose to be Trans! Those who think we can clearly don't understand what being Trans means!
6. Claim: Trans people might actually "just be gay" and being trans is a form of conversion therapy.
Fact: 75% of trans people identify as L,G,B, or Q AFTER transition. Most trans people hear, "why couldn't you just be gay" from those around them. Even Laverne Cox did!
