I agree. Children are very impressionable and there are bad actors who will try to convince them that it's better to be trans.
/s right? Because that doesn't happen. But I mean they are getting all these bad actors telling them it's better NOT to be trans. That only affects the trans kids. Telling a strait kid that it's better to be trans will be met with scoffs. Telling a trans kid that being trans is bad somehow will fuck them up.
No, it definitely happens.
I see it all the time and they're not even ashamed of it.
I may joke to male friends that they should be femboys but that is the extent of what I've seen. Whenever anyone says that they actually are questioning their gender I give them as much space as they need to figure it out themselves but am always open to questions. The trans people I know are the same and most trans people on the internet seem to be too. I wouldn't be too surprised if there are some people who are not like us and do try to force others. I think cis people trying to force trans people to be cis are more common.
Yeah, that's how it starts. It's how neo-nazis wriggle their way into places they shouldn't be.
"It's just a joke, bro." Until it isn't.
I mean you're not wrong about jokes being used like that. In this case the jokes at most encourage them to explore their gender expression, I'm not suggesting that they transition in any way.
If you want to directly compare like that it would imply that I (a trans person) am sneaking into cishet places. This alone should probably show that it's a bad comparison because friendship isn't something that should be discriminated by gender, sexuality, race, or idk nose position.
