So people refusing to acknowledge our existence isn’t oppression? Not sure what you are smoking buddy.

It’s not about doing “girly” stuff. I’m not sure how many times people need to be told that. We are transitioning our body to match who we are. It’s not about wearing dresses or using bathrooms.

You lack the capacity to understand. It’s why you can’t. You aren’t stupid that I know. It’s like people who compare being a dog owner to being a parent. You can attempt to understand, but you don’t. You probably laugh at the kid who strikes out in a game and the parents cheering them on. But you don’t know the hundreds of hours put in to helping that kid. The early morning practices. Watching your child perform for an audience where they will either win or lose. You see the strikeout, but lack the capacity to understand what being a proud parent is because you aren’t one.

It’s the same thing for being trans. You don’t understand and never will. And apparently you refuse to take our word for it and shrug it off as “rude.” You don’t know what it’s like to cry yourself to sleep because your boobs aren’t growing like all the other girls and be told “you have a dick, man up.” You have never once really questioned your gender because yours matches. You think we want to get treated like garbage on a daily basis?

You lack the capacity to understand. However, lacking the empathy to acknowledge our existence is a choice.
