If I don’t forget

I haven't slept with my bf yet because its long distance but we're meeting irl in a week

>bf

*sodomy joke*

I’d never date over the internet

they're trans, so they have a boy pussy

therefore not gay

female to male

o o f

I don’t get trans people

Eh, long distance is trash but wholesome love makes it all worth it. We just had our 1 year anniversary

shid

I can’t trust someone enough to e-date

Hell I can’t trust someone enough to regular date

Hah

I’m awkward with people a lot of the time

Women moreso

Well, if it helps, he's trans because of a diagnosed mental illness, not frivoulous bullshit. It's not a debate I wanna get into but he's not the liberal stereotype

Gender dysphoria is a fun topic for research nowadays

Wish it was better researched. I've had a lot of interesting debates with him about it but most of the solutions we've come to come done to speculation.

Pre-2007 it was essentially a low key thing

I wouldn’t mind it if it wasn’t shoved in my face by the left

I still think it’s icky but you do you

Now? I dislike them wholeheartedly

I cannot support trans gender people

Agree

It’s not the solution or treatment they need

Agreed. My bf agrees too, strangely enough

And when you look at the statistics on depression and suicide in trans people you it’s very clearly a bad idea

To him, transitioning is a last resort when medication and therapy fail. which, they sadly have for him. He's had it since he was 9.

Transitioning is a heavily flawed idea

It’s a questionable hardware solution to a software issue

“Doc chop off my arm, I’m actually a pirate”
“No, please take some antipsychotics”

One with gender dysphoria to that degree will not be “fixed” by mutilating their body

“Doc please chop off my dick”
“Congratulations Ma’am”

When all else fails transitioning is a suitible coping method, but the dangerous and experimental surgeries make it a huge danger. I don't think theres an argument against "soft" transitioning like name changes and crossdressing though.
