I think people who are obsessed with hating trans women need to touch grass. How does one’s gender identity affect you in the slightest. Just focus on yourself and your own life instead of hating people who don’t know you.

Your argument is essentially "leave them alone".
Problem is proponents of trans ideaology want to see non believers censored and jailed.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
I have many trans friends who just want to be themselves, they don’t want to see nobody jailed and censored. That’s a generalization to all trans folk.
I won't discredit your personal experience, I certainly believe you, but nonetheless, increasingly across the Western world, legislation is being pushed that flies in the face of biological reality.
I'm a voluntarist, if a trans person wishes me to refer to them as male or female, that's between me and them as far as I'm concerned, but the problem with that picture is that increasingly there is a policemans truncheon just out of frame.
The majority of people hating trans women couldn't/can't tell before they were told.
Wouldn't/won't handle/be around a cis woman on her period, think it's disgusting and want to do anal anyway🤌🏾
exactly queen, they just are mad bc they think they’re hot
this is in reference to this note btw. smh. i can’t bring my loved ones to nostr when yall acting a fool like this… nostr:note1ep9cemynw6l4cmenywckf08xm866d84uuvhj4r9ehzhnwamelyxqfvsqth
exactly let people be people and do whatever they want
Two reasons: it affects women in our lives, and in a country with big government and public education, it affects the broader culture of the society and future generations
If those issues were no longer factors, I wouldn't care what grown adults decided to 'identify as'. Live and let live, but it goes both ways
I also have sympathy for many people who have been sucked up in the current wave. Two classmates of mine got surgery a few years ago to remove their breasts and now regret it. I'm not saying that's always the case, but this is historically uncharted territory which usually isn't actually based on 'loving people for who they are'
I went to public school in the era of the “they’re forcing wokeism in our public schools”
I graduated high school in 2019, there were maybe 2 trans people in my school, alot of gay people (me included), and i promise you there was no propaganda bullshit everyone is continually saying is happening in the schools.
Live and let live is the perfect way to say that. I love that.
As a young person surrounded by a diverse community of people, straight, white, gay, black, trans, brown, all of it in between, none of us are trying to force our personal beliefs on anyone, there may be people that do that, but not every single person. I’m on nostr everyday, but i’m not like “IM BISEXUAL EVERYONE HAS TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY BISEXUALITY OR THEYRE CANCELLED” nah, i just live and let live.
Live and let live 💜✨
I graduated high school in 2019 too. I'd say it was closer to 20 people that I personally knew of, in a school of about 1200. We had pride flags, lots of messaging about equality and tolerance, and we had a gender unicorn come to our (mandated to graduate) health class and teach us about the gender spectrum.
I'm not saying this because I want to be argumentative - but the youth is being hurt. The hormones of the average teenager, and even american in general, are being damaged by a number of different factors. The prevelance of pornography also plays a role in this.
I've been to bars here (BTV) where my girlfriend has been harassed in the bathroom by a 40 year old man wearing a dress, and nobody bats an eye. I've seen peers go into massive medical debt to undergo procedures which effectively sterilize them. I've worked with coworkers on hormone therapy who talk about depression, headaches, and joint pain (from high testosterone in a female body).
Again, for the people who legitimately just want to live their own way, good on them. No problem from me. But this isn't some kind of liberation movement. This broad cultural trend is the result of a lot of unhealthy physical, mental, and social dynamics which we should be cautious of or work to reverse.
Hey I agree with you on pornography, I speak on here about the disgusting and deep issue of porn addiction. That’s awful what happened to your girlfriend, that shouldn’t happen to anyone.
I appreciate you taking the time to discuss with me this issue, you have incredibly valid points i agree with. respect to you zach. 🫡
Respect to you too! I'm hopeful that we can all reach a better equilibrium on these difficult topics. The tribal thinking on both sides is what leads to human rights disasters, but communication and legitimate attempts to understand one another are the cure.
