Going through the transition from female to male is not the worst thing in the world that can happen to a person, I know many people personally who have gone through much worse and don't whine on about it at every given opportunity.

I'm sure you're not alone in "personally knowing people" who have been through stuff. I'm sure everyone on this forum has both been through traumas of some kind and know people who have. However, just because you don't like Luke A, it doesn't give you leave to trivialise his past because you know someone who may have been through something bad. Furthermore, I have never once heard Luke A use his past as an excuse for anything, and I most certainly have never heard him "whine" about it.
