Is the Transgender Person's Transition Process Selfish?

An article written for HuffPo by Chris Tina Bruce.  Examines the dynamics of people perceiving transgender individuals who physically/socially transition as selfish while perhaps it is actually the people who expect transgender individuals to live a life uncomfortably who are the selfish ones.

“But could it not be said that the person rejecting the transitioning transgender person is actually the selfish one, concerned more with how society will view them for being associated with the person in transition than with the mental and physical health of the person they once called family or friend?”
