(I’m just trying to learn. No hidden mockery in this and this is no gotcha bs aimed at t women. I’m NOT transphobic. Just saw this in a debate and wanted to know other people’s thoughts)
I just want to know:
- Is this factually correct?
- If it is, does it matter? Why or why not?
- How would you logically respond to this?
- How does this statement not contradict with Trans Women are Women
If you don’t feel like answering that’s alright.
Like I said, I wanna know more about this.
I’m sorry for your situation and I’m not in a position to help you, but if I got there, I will remember to help you.
I wanna be absolutely sure I know what I’m talking about.
I haven’t and it doesn’t matter.

It really wasn’t directed towards you specifically. If I was standing around at work and this was asked then this is how I would respond. Which has happened. There is an obsession with this topic that has empowered the dumbest element in my society (American) to take power in my society. Due to those elements (conservatives) I have lost my job (my current pays 1/4 of what I was making), livelihood, and now face an economic collapse. I absolutely don’t blame trans people for this, but recognize that their existence has led to my life becoming worse due to exploitation. Personally I just call people whatever pronoun out of politeness. They deserve equal rights under the law, but unfortunately the law doesn’t mean much these days.
Mine and people like me (the poor) opinion ultimately does not matter, so I don’t understand why the question keeps being asked. Would it change anything?
Damn, wth are you going through?
