I have personal beliefs that prevent me from totally agreeing with transgenderism but I generally respect pronouns and I do agree that transphobes are assholes.
But I also agree that bills forcing people to recognize pronouns are pretty shit.
:p
I want to be jack!
Let me rephrase that, may I be honest about something?
Go ahead! 😃
I think the best course for gay rights at the moment is to normalize it by not obsessing over it.
:v
But aren't you trans
I wish people would stop drawing attention to every gay couple in reality and fiction.
It doesn't help anyone.
Same.
It does the opposite of normalizing it.
Yes.
Like annoucing how many women and how many people of color got elected to the house
Just because I am trans and had to transition to find peace doesn't mean I find it "normal" or preferable
its like....STOP ALREADY
Life would have been a lot easier for me if I'd been happy as a dude
you're making it a thing by doing that
Please
My wife does
My staff do
I can do that.
My colleages do
I'm sorry if that was a stupid question.
I never talk about being trans IRL
I'm generally for doing more research into the psychology of gender dysphoria so that maybe someday we could find some sort of psychotherapy that can help? Or some sort of psychological medication?
It's certainly far away though
Speaking of gender dysphoria, may I ask a question in regards to that?
It's irrelevant but then again I am lucky enough to blend without any ripples at all
Go ahead
For now I recognize there isn't much else that can be done so I do my best to respect transitioned individuals
Gender dysphoria is the condition that necessitates sex-change surgery, correct?
In many people, yes
Which would mean that transpeople, before undergoing the surgery, would have gender dysphoria, correct?
Before, yes. Afterwards, hopefully no more.
Therefore, it is not transphobic to point out the existence of gender dysphoria, correct?
I'm not gender dysphoric anymore except when I feel threatened by laws that could place me in danger - mens bathrooms or jail cells with guys. Stuff like that. Or ID that doesn't match my obvious appearance and anatomy.
I wasn't saying you did.
