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.

@Pendell, I don't totally "agree" with transgenderism either

: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.

@Illyrian I'd say that's the best course for everything.

@taekahn By not obsessing over 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

@DrYuriMom May I just view you as a woman?

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.

I'm a scientist

Got it.

I'm a history major.
