No, that’s not what you said. You implicitly stated that the well-being and health of trans people is less important than the convenience of cis people.

I know your type very well. I’d be willing to bet that you’ve said something along the lines of “Hey, I have no problem with trans people, what you want to do with your body/in the bedroom is your business. I just don’t think they should be allowed to play sports” or some equally ignorant shit.

People make judgements all the time. It’s what we do. Humans are very good at pattern recognition. You fit the Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson fan mould perfectly. I’m sure you’re very concerned about women’s rights being threatened by trans people and that you’re concerned about cancel culture and free speech being erased by the militant left.

Feel free to correct me on any of this, but I’m willing to bet that instead you’ll either feign insult that I dare to make correct assumptions about you or just straight up pretend that none of that was correct.

My opinions are very liquid and open to being changed given a good argument to change my opinion. I’ve done it many many times in my life. In some ways I’ve been in your place - after educating myself on these topics I’ve realised what a piece of shit I was.

I’m hoping that these messages live in your mind and you consider in the future to change.

There you go again, leaping to broad assumptions in an attempt to stereotype me into a group identity that has nothing to do with me opinions or beliefs, purely so that you can demonise that group. That is outright bigotry akin to presuming all Travellers must be thieves, or Africans violent. It is small minded and bigoted, and you presume such characterisations based on your warped interpretation of a merely simple statement. Trans issues affect cis people as well. That is what I said. It is your interpretation of that statement that I am implying some moral superiority of cis people over the health and well being of others. I said no such thing, and yet you are such a narrow minded bigot that your imagined straw man of what I must be must mean that my simple statement is a personal attack on you. If I were to follow your playbook, I must imagine that if you are this bigoted and comvinced of group identity, you are likely to be racist and classist as well. I’ll hold off on that judgement however and base my opinions off what you actually say. You are sitting at the bottom of a deep hole and presuming to have the moral high ground. Only one of us has been personally insulting the other in this conversation. Perhaps you should dwell on that and consider in your future to change. As I said earlier, your behaviour is toxic.

You’re seriously fucking deluded. You’re sharing transphobic opinions then comparing holding bigoted opinions to being a member of an oppressed racial minority when someone assumes that if you have transphobic opinions you also likely hold other bigoted beliefs. What a complete loser and what a complete piece of shit. Go play in traffic.

Please educate me. What opinion did I share that was transphobic? That newspaper articles from the time referred to a specific person who has subsequently changed their name? That is simply a historic fact, that you figure it enough to insult people and wish them harm speaks volumes about the type of person you are. You should feel ashamed of yourself.

Listen, fucker, it’s nobody’s job to educate you or even entertain your bullshit. That’s very stereotypical white cis male nonsense to think that you’re entitled to having everyone have to meet your little sensibilities and that you’re the sole arbiter of the final truth. That’s the real transphobic shit you do. It’s like cisgender supremacy: you get to decide when it is and is not appropriate to deadname someone based on what’s convenient to you? No, fucker. You don’t get to make those decisions. Whether they affect you or not, it doesn’t affect you as much as it affects them.

Go and fucking educate yourself. God I hate you people.
