Let me get one thing out of the way: Jenner is an absolutely TERRIBLE representation of the trans community. In fact, most of us actually extremely dislike her for what she has done to us. She is a joke.

You weren’t wrong, I AM an asshole. Just so happens you and I see eye-to-eye on this issue :)

Nope.

I like what you’re getting at here. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, Caitlyn is the worst thing to ever happen to the trans movement. We were doing just fine without her.

None of what you said makes any sense lol. Please stop fear mongering...

But as I told you, over several decades, possibly even a whole century; has science been researching ways to “fix” trans people. And after all that time, it’s almost unanimous that the only way to do it is through transition.

Ah, another case of “I know a trans person, so I know what I’m talking about”. My mum also knows me...she hates me, wants me to be the man “God intended”. So knowing is really only half the battle.

You know what No1451. I totally want to apologize for what I said in the Bill Nye article.

Preach girl!! ♥

Wow, you’re much more understanding than that other guy. :)

It’s adorable that you think these decisions are made with so little thought put into them. I’m guessing you’re assuming that they put as little thought into major life decisions as you do?

Welcome to fucking bodily autonomy dude. You don’t get a vote in what others do to THEIR body.

Before you continue posting consider educating yourself, body dysmorphic disorder exists and if bringing their body into line with how they feel works....why are we arguing with it?

Them wanting to not be murdered, assaulted…

You keep using the wrong terms - surgery for this is not treating depression. If any pre-op trans is depressed, its a factor of their gender situation. What you argue is like saying we shouldn’t give chemo to cancer patients because they are depressed they are dying. Depression is a completely different mental illness…

That’s not what I’m saying at all. You don’t need to know the cause of something to know how to fix it. I don’t need to why my lightbulb blew to replace it with a new one. Now, if my lightbulb doesn’t work after I changed it, then I need to look further.

You’re denying trans people the pursuit of happiness.

Oh yes, that was a legit question. I agree. :) But, the question came as a response to me saying that we don’t really identify as “trans” unless we absolutely need to.

Wat.

Don’t worry, he was making a strawman argument about trans kids. It’s not like he actually wants to listen to...facts! lol

I out myself up front. Because the extreme hate exists where if I don’t, I will most likely get murdered. And at the same time, I’m not post op...and some partners are just attracted to a body part I do not yet have...so might as well get it out of the way immediately.

Seriously? The only trans people who wish to be recognized as “trans” are Tumblr special snowflakes. The vast majority of us want to change our gender and leave it at that. If we had the power, the word trans wouldn’t ever be involved.
