I was born in America, a chance occurrence selected by nature. I was quickly diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum, giving me impairments and poor tolerance to stress. From the age of 8 or so I became aware of a great visceral need for sex reassignment surgery. In my early 20s, I learned the United States was one of the few developed countries that did not typically cover sex reassignment surgery (SRS) and brooded over that fact. I hated having such a great visceral need, having no coverage, and because of my impairments being unable to do anything about it myself. This brooding led to a suicide attempt and a great period of mental instability. Once I had stabilized and found out I could possibly get covered, my mood improved greatly, but the long-drawn out uncertainty of the process took its toll and the process continues, and I fear I haven't anymore the resiliance to see the process through without falling again into turmoil. It depends on the maintenance of my job, but the uncertainty of this process and the emotional toil it has wrought in me has begun to threaten my job, and even with the offer of legal assistance by TLDEF, I may not last through the process, because it depends on keeping my permanent full-time position (which is being threatened by my dwindling remaining FMLA hours, which as of yesterday only 88 remained), and waste all that legal assistance by TLDEF, which would include the hiring of a law firm pro bono on the condition that if we win my name, face, and story would go out in a press release. I am wondering if I should just tell TLDEF to quit, because I know they would just waste their resources on me, the money they would spend to retain the law firm, and the time taken by their summer student interns. Perhaps, though, in my emails to the staff attorney, the staff attorney is already getting some hint that I would be a waste of time and resources.

It is obvious that this is a setup by nature. Nature instilled in me this great need, but has organized events around me and given me just enough impairment that the fulfillment of this great need could never be fulfilled. Therefore, I say, f**k NATURE! Because of that, I seek to support policies and actions that I know would harm the environment, that would move us toward a toxic, uninhabitable planet.

I know that anthropogenic global warming is pretty well established, but with that knowledge I will take steps to make it grow, worsen, and cause jeopardy in nature. I cheer the massive chemical spills that have recently struck West Virginia! Perhaps I will work for an oil fracking company and do just enough of my own damage, little and subtle (so as not to cross the line into illegality), that I can make the process even worse for nature!

Maybe, just maybe, if I can make nature scream in pain, I can get him to finally concede SRS to me!

Why did you post this in PPR?

I'd say it would make more sense in The Haven or in LGBT Discussion.

Objectifying nature as a malevolent entity to be punished is a recipe for only hurting yourself and everyone else. It is like blaming a rock that you've accidentally stubbed your toe against - the rock neither knows nor cares about your pain and getting angry at it and "punishing" it isn't going to help you in the slightest.

This is very serious. It is the path the fictional 'Sith' take from anger --> hate --> psychopathy.

If it consumes you, then 'bad things' can happen.

You may ...
- snap at people
- you may be mean to people
- develop irrational anger about trivialities
- decide not to like someone because you cannot feel past your hate
- ... and it gets much worse

Perhaps this is already happening. If no one helps you, then will you let this happen to yourself ?
Can you find anyway to live in peace without the SRS ?

May I suggest you download and try Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic online (it is free to play), and play Sith where you can
be ruthless to other people and the environment, and engage in psychopathy.

If you really want to punish nature,become a republican and hold office.

Or elect another democrat who will drop more anonymous drone strikes on children in an oil/mineral/opium war. :P

But it is oddly therapeutic. :lol:

Not if it becomes an obsession rather than an outburst. Carrying an unrelenting hatred for an unmovable object isn't going to change the object but it sure will consume the hater.

Thats actually kinda funny. The OP saw the phrase 'nature made' on a grocery store edible one too many times, thought about how she herself cant "go with whats natural' in his/her life, and then flipped out, and now wants to vote for a Republican who would allow strip mining. Strip mining just for the sake of strip mining - even if its not for any valuable mineral ores! Strip mining just to beat the crap out of nature!

Lol!

But that same Republican would also vote against having the tax payer pay for the OP's operation. Not to mention also voting against same sex marriage, and against everything else that eases life for the LGBT community.

But consider the semantics.

In the USA there is common belief that there is a certain anthropormorphic entity who kinda runs nature like a CEO. They call him "God". So you could take the word "nature" in your OP, and substitute the word "God"- and the meaning would hardly change.



The OP would make the same amount of sense (or lack of sense).

Instead of "nature did this to me" it would be "god did this to me" so "Im gonna beat up on God".

But instead of voting for James Watt the result would be that you would go on rampage of vandalizing Churchs, Mosques, and Synagogues.

That would get you arrested. But it would not change your intergender situation. It would be just as dumb and pointless as blaming it on 'nature'.

You could also substitue 'nature' with the phrase "the cosmos", or with "the Universe". Blame your troubles on the "Universe", and then procede to burn Carl Sagan in effigy!

As long as the only property you burned was your own you would not likely get arrested. But burning DeGrasse, or Sagan, in effigy would not do much to change your situation either.

That seems like a very negative counter productive way to deal with your internal conflicts and problems functioning in society. You're unhappy therefore we should all do our best to destroy nature and kill the entire planet? Its not natures fault SRS is a long drawn out complex process, that is just how far humans have got with it its not natures fault they havent found a way to make it 'easy' at this point.

Sorry but that is very selfish....I can understand being fed up and what not, but to seriously want the planet destroyed and attempting to help with that process is really just going overboard.

I hate nature for many, many reasons - not just because of gender but because of cancer, Alzheimer's, mental illness and many more.

But I realise that this world is all I've got; if I trash nature, I'm basically pissing in my own bathwater.

A better analogy would be pissing in the public swimming pool.

An even better analogy would be pissing in the public swimming pool because nature had provided the wrong gender swimsuit.

How you were born is no one's fault, but is society's fault for not providing access to healthcare. So being angry at society is fairly rational in this case.

But the OP is not angry at society, they are angry at nature and want to support things they think will hurt nature and essentially the planet as a whole....it would make more sense if they where angry at society rather then the planet which provides essentials to life.
