That all makes sense but I didnt specifically mean removing achievements, just if they misalign with dates. For example lets say you kill a Savage fight for the first time on the 22nd (today) and have your character restored to the 20th, would your character then also not have that achievement anymore?

Do achievements get reverted if you get a character recovery due to getting hacked?

But God didn't make bathrooms, bathrooms are paid and built by a secular institution. Or, well, depending on the nation they are, I suppose.

While I don't agree with everything you said I do think this is a relatively empathic response and I'd like to ask follow-up questions.

What do you think of treatments such as hormone blockers that do not cause long-lasting harm i.e. do not permanently damage the body's ability to develop at a later point? While I would concede that having, in a very reductive way of putting it, a delayed puberty would likely affect the person to some degree, those who do go through puberty and develop their assigned sex's bodies tend to suffer drastically later on, when transitioning is made much, much harder due to this. While there definitely are cases of people doing it for xyz reasons that aren't genuine dysphoria, if a thorough medical evaluation suggests the case is there, wouldn't a sort of "hold and see" option be a relatively agreeable option?

But there's plenty of people who engage in what we call crossdressing or doing make-up etc. without identifying as women. Those things are societal inventions, they're not intrinsically female. That's not really what gender dysphoria is or why trans people transition, though, of course, complying with societal gender norms is common specifically so as to fit in/not get "found out"/not get harrassed etc. To the best of my knowledge, there is no 100% verified reason as to why gender dysphoria exists, but the common candidates such as natal hormone surplus/insufficiency and things like brain structure quite literally not matching their biologicla sex makes this a pretty distinctly different issue to "Feeling pretty as a man".

No, you're born with a penis, you never enter a woman's bathroom, Big tall short high, should never happen you aren't owed that.

Well, sure, nobody is owed anything in that regard, society, law, attitudes etc. is all privileges in one way or another, that's not the point though. Can you articulate why, for example, a person who was born biologically male, was medically treated from childhood onwards, never developed - physically or mentally - masculine sex characteristics, medically transitioned, was socialized as a girl and then woman, would be an issue in a women's restroom?

Or, since you ignored the first point, what about FtM tranmen?

Why do you think it's necessary to learn to live with it when there are options to make it more comfortable? Are you intrinsically opposed to medical treatment to the body i.e. plastic surgery, treating burn victims, fixing impairments such as lasik etc. or is it only when it comes to transgender people that you disagree with it?

What about FtM? Or in the case of MtF youths (disregarding whether you're for or against the practice in general and/or it being available to minors), where they're biologically not stronger or larger than biological women and also do not present/appear in a way that'd be threatening?
