quietmind, how is it being a special snowflake to have gender confusion? It's no different than any other human struggle with identity. To me, it's being a special snowflake to act like no one else has ever suffered or experienced anything similar, or that they are more deserving somehow of special treatment. All pain and confusion is valid. I, too, have gender confusion and identity problems. The reasons for it may differ, but I don't think it's super special or that other people think it's special. I say, go ahead and let yourself voice whatever is going on.
