My favorite was the football boots quote. In light of the obvious emotional suffering Elliot nee Ellen Page went through that eventually pushed her to medically alter her body and "escape" womanhood, quotes like that are extremely important. So many people are conflating pain associated with not fitting in, and the temporary comfort of a coping mechanism that escapes a tortured existence, with a false phenomenon called "being transgender." In fact, transgender individuals are those who have transitioned. Some of them will be comforted by this coping mechanism, for some time period, perhaps even for life, and many will not. All will pay some price in health issues. Anyone who has not transitioned, but wants to, is just someone looking to escape/avoid their problems - not an insult, as we all want to escape or avoid our problems. Nobody is born "transgender." Keep up the "fun" imagery. :)
