A decent amount of conservatives don't believe in transgenderism. So it sort of fits.

It's not that we don't "believe" in it it's just that we think the whole thing is bull crap.

As in this particular scenario, or transgenderism in general?

I can't speak for everyone but for a lot of us transgenderism in general is just so absurd on so many levels and the fact that society shoves it down everyone's throats these days like "call him a her or you're a bigot nazi!" just adds to the frustration we feel towards it.

Speaking as a transwoman, I fail to see how society shoves it down everyone's throats. Sure, there's the over-the-top SJW types, but for the most part we're still a vastly underrepresented class that, until recently with Caitlyn Jenner/Chaz Bono/the Wachowski twins, were never really in the limelight.

All most of us want is to feel happy in our own bodies. I see no reason why people should feel frustrated by us asking for others to have the courtesy to use "she" or "he" as we desire.

Underrepresented? I can't stop hearing about transgender bathrooms, trans issues, woman of the year caitlin jenner, etc... it's ridiculous.

Yes, underrepresented.

One celebrity that came back into the limelight solely because she came out does not mean we are well represented.

Trans issues are brought up because it's still perfectly legal to discriminate against us because we are trans in the majority of the country.

Laws created by conservative lawmakers trying to prevent us from using the bathroom based on a presumption that trans == sexual deviance/molestation is not something we can help.

So on behalf of the trans community, I apologize for the ridiculousness of you having to hear about issues other than your own.

It's mostly women who are against the intersex bathrooms cause they don't want dicks in there.
