Hell yeah. One of my best friends is trans, knew him since we were really little. He’s not doing it for attention or anything. If he was he wouldn’t have gotten kicked out of his family for being trans. He worked his ass off and got treatment and a healthy relationship. I’m fucking proud of him man

There’s two kinds of people. People who deserve all the love and respect in the world, and those who push their ideas to children who deserve a cell

Gender’s meaningless anyway. Why should I give a shit about which pronouns someone prefers? That’s their business.

Tbh I’ll probably never see them as “true men” in my head but if they wanna identify as that, I got no problem

Okay, real talk: I have always personally believed, ultimately, in "I don't care what you do or engage in, as long as it doesn't negatively affect my life and/ or that of my close friends family." In theory, you can identify as whatever you want, m, f, other, moose, zamboni, I don't care. There are plenty of "weird", or "different", or "out-there" people in the world, and most of them don't harm or bother others. They should be left alone if they behave civilly. However... 1/2

Jesus, the amount of no votes here is really saddening and messed up. Transphobes suck. Trans men are men, this isn't up for debate. Trans women are women too

I’ve seen people online and in person do that. It’s rare but it happens

I mean I’ve seen incels push things online and in person to children a lot more than I’ve seen any trans person go “be trans” to a kid

I’ve seen both sadly but incels more for sure, but that’s cause there’s more incels. I’ve seen trans people or teachers encouraging students to embrace switching genders and it’s fucking awful. Other than that trans people can be chill

I mean my friend knew he was trans since he was a kid. He was extremely suicidal for years, nearly succeeding twice. Doing things “like a guy” made him feel more himself. Then when he got old enough he got injections and surgery and stuff. Now he’s one of the happiest people I know and is engaged. Expressing who he was saved his life. I agree that kids shouldn’t get hormone treatment as that can fuck with puberty but if being treated as who they feel like makes life worth living it’s worth it

...this is where my real gripe comes in. Most of my life, I did not care about this topic. Suddenly, around 2013-2015, I start hearing about it nonstop; people I knew for years identifying as things I's never heard of, and wither you're chose to an "ally", or you were a hateful bigot that should rot. Not to mention, suddenly, the simple, fundamental concepts of "men and women" were being thrown on their head, diced up, and mashed around by certain groups. Basic facts of life that made 2/3

...sense, suddenly made no sense to me whatsoever. Not to mention, many people were, are, outright HOSTILE if you try to question this shit at all, even hypothetically. TLDR, as I said, do whatever you want in your own life. But am going to have an issue, when you start trying to rewrite concepts that have been well-known and established for most of human history; try to warp numerous aspects of society, culture, and language around you; and act infuriated when I dare to even slightly 3/4

...complain that the world and culture I is being forcibly shifted/ altered in front of my very eyes, day-to-day, and I'm just supposed to site here and not question any of it, but rather accept all of it with open arms.
