  I keep hearing this. If gender is not sex than gender is not real, you can be whatever you want whenever you want, right?

  Still, if a dudes is a dude it’s a he, if a woman is a woman it’s a she.

  The only time I would actually bother ask someone what they like to be called is if they have an intersex condition. That’s it.

  Have you ever, in good faith, talked to a trans person?

  Yes, it was the exactly stereotypical “call me mam” hairy dude. Yeah, that’s never gonna happen. First time in my life I told someone to never talk with me and pretend I don’t exist. I don’t want to interact with these kind of lunatics.

  No but I would love too, that seems genuinely interesting. I’d have so many questions to ask

    How does “you can chose” make something not real? Also, it doesn’t appear to be a conscious effort to be trans. Do you really think trans people go through all that just for the fun of it?

    Still, if a dudes is a dude it’s a he, if a woman is a woman it’s a she.

    And if a women is not a woman and starts HRT and everything, he’s a dude. You’re exactly right!

    Can you tell that just by looking at people?

    Yes, it was the exactly stereotypical “call me mam” hairy dude.

    What if it was someone who visually fit in your expectation? Would you treat them with basic respect? Can you tell me the sex of those people? people?Image Image ImageImage

    Wouldn’t it be interesting to talk to a trans person, too? Understand their perspective? Maybe you already met someone intersex but called them slurs and walked off because you thought they might be trans.

    Your baseless hate for trans people only brings evil into this world. Maybe try giving people a chance. We’re all human.

      Do you really think trans people go through all that just for the fun of it? I honestly think they have mental problems that won’t be solved by mutilating themselves. It’s not me to make that decision for them and it’s their body but I try to keep myself as far away as possible.

      And if a women is not a woman and starts HRT and everything, he’s a dude.

      What do you mean a woman is not a woman?

      Can you tell that just by looking at people?

      Most likely not, but by interacting with people, yes.

      Can you tell me the sex of each of those people?

      Only from faces? Most likely not. First pic looks like a woman, second like a man, 3rd pic that dude might be a woman, 4th the dude is a woman and 5th I have no damn idea

      called them slurs

      I don’t call people slurs mate, I just avoid interaction.
