I Honestly Don't Get Transgender

I realize this might offend some, but I mean to express that I honestly don't understand the support of being transgender.

I am a humanist, I support the ideas of freedom and life in general, and I fully support and completely understand the nature and lifestyle of gays and lesbians without question. I wish them all the happiness in the world and embrace them.

But being transgender is different.   You're talking about not accepting what you are and trying to be something else.  It's the opposite of why I support gay people.  You're talking about surgery.  You're talking about cutting off body parts to be something else.  I really don't know how this isn't disturbing.  Where is the line between that and a legitimate psychological problem?

And I honestly find it outrageous that people felt the need to give somebody like Jenner a woman of the year award. That's a joke right? There are great women out there accomplishing amazing things, and some guy who cut off his dick and put on a dress is the woman of the year? That's an outrage to women and their legitimate contributions to society.
