Is it bad that I genuinely feel sorry for the stupidity that transphobes suffer with?
All of the arguments transphobes make have valid counter arguments that they refuse to accept.
Religious reasons? Not everyone is religious. People can interpret the same religion differently.
The internet is to blame? Trans people existed before the internet and not all trans kids even have access to it.
They’re butchering their bodies!! What about tattoos, cosmetic surgeries, piercings, dyed hair, or any other body modification?
It’s rooted in sexism and complying to gender ideology!!? So suddenly gender nonconforming trans people don’t exist? Femme trans men and masc trans women aren’t real anymore? (not to even mention nb people)
It’s unnatural! There are beyond hundreds of animals that can change their sex. Humans have evolved to have a complex sense of self, that includes gender expression and gender identity.
They’re mentally ill and we’re just fueling it! Mental illness and being transgender don’t automatically go hand in hand. I didn’t get so unwell that I decided to be transgender. I went through a period of depression because I realized the social stigma that will be placed on me as I come out but I love myself more than societal approval. I’m happy.
I find it wrong and gross! Okay. I don’t care about your opinion. I think tongue piercings are gross so I’ll never get one but I won’t tell others they shouldn’t if that’s what will make them happy.
What about detrans people? People make mistakes. Sometimes doctors aren’t amazing. Most of the time that person is still trans and can’t handle their environment anymore. Though if you really believe a cis person who thought they were trans is “ruined” for going on HRT or having gender confirming surgery then maybe you’re just an asshole.
I understand the arguments about not knowing how transgender minors should be allowed to medically transitioning. However, that mostly comes down to a lack of research and acknowledging that no one child is the same.
Puberty blockers are proven to be safe. Yes, HRT has permanent changes so kids shouldn’t be starting HRT before they’re old enough to understand what they’re doing and have been mentally evaluated. If a kid has been saying for YEARS they know they’re a different gender- it’s not a phase.
There are countless ways to be transgender. Transgender people owe society nothing. Transgender people don’t need to fit neatly into boxes. We have our own views of what being trans means for ourselves. It’s not our fault that there’s people who struggle to understand that.
