Sorry, the example I gave is not an opinion, that is just plain biology. I have nothing against trans people, don't care, everyone can live their own lives and find happiness. If transitioning makes you happy, then by all means, go.
However, it is a cosmetic change, your genes do not change. You don't M2F and suddenly start menstruation because you don't have the plumbing and right now that's not something any doctor can fix. Who knows, maybe 20 years down the line we can make those changes at the genetic level and install plumbing and all, awesome, then you'll M2F for real and be an actual woman. Until then, though, you're trans, not a woman. Same goes for F2M trans, afaik you don't get a working penis because you lack the required plumbing for that.
I'm not trying to be a dick, not at all, it's just reality of our current abilities in the medical field. It also doesn't make any trans person less, we're all the same, we're all flawed humans with good, normal and bad parts. Being trans is neither good nor bad, it's just part of your life
Fooled me.
Yeah that's the typical reaction to this but tell me honestly, is anything I said wrong, a lie, twisted truth or anything like that?
There is nothing wrong with being trans but for some reason when anyot states a very simple basic biological fact, you people go nuts. "Trans blood is red", does that statement make me transphobic or a dick too?
This "we can't deal with simple facts" behavior is what turns a lot of people away from supporting LGBTQ+ you got all my support, hell, I'm in one of those letter myself, but I also live in the real world where facts matter.
The problem is that these "facts" you're talking about aren't in dispute, yet people like you and Rowling are always the first to bring up genitalia. It's creepy and rude.
MtFs don't claim they menstruate or get pregnant, and FtMs don't claim to produce semen...yet y'all never fail to insist that we do. So when you insist on making a counter-argument to an argument we're not making, it comes across as if you do have an issue with us but can't find a valid place to point those feelings. That's why everyone is calling you a dick.
