Nobody has a child going to school as one gender and returning as another.

Trans people are not attacking women (or anyone else) in bathrooms.

Nobody is going through the hell of transitioning, putting up with the shit people give them etc for 'fun'.

All trans people want to do is just get on with life, doing what they want to do which harms nobody else whatsoever so they don't have to spend an entire lifetime miserable.

The rhetoric to suggest otherwise is 100% bullshit.

@VModifiedMind exactly. The attacking is by cis transphobes in bathrooms.
They are projecting themselves onto their victims, blaming victims in advance to justify the fear, anger, violence, they feel when their complete lack of curiosity, grace, compassion, their own sense of self comes crashing down around them.
The phobe part of transphobia is real.
But it’s not really trans they fear. It’s themselves. Knowing they might not know who they are themselves having led unexamined lives.

@JoBlakely It's certainly a complex thing and I don't expect people to understand conceptually why someone might not cope with life in the assigned gender at birth because it's a very difficult thing to understand - like many things that have a huge non-physical aspect to them.

But to make out that there is some massive problem with forced gender transition, attacks in bathrooms and all that is just ridiculous.

The 'harm' to people is coming from this, not the fictional forced transition.

@VModifiedMind I agree. It’s such bullshit.

@JoBlakely put it this way, I feel considerably safer in a room full of #trans people than I do in a room full of cis males…

…so…

@VModifiedMind SAME.

@VModifiedMind @JoBlakely ok, so now I am trying to envision myself in these two rooms. The former seems more fun to me than the latter.

@VModifiedMind @JoBlakely is the room full of trans people a mix of trans male and trans female? I need this information to complete my mental image.

@DanadasGrau @JoBlakely I generally draw no distinction. Indeed the only reason I distinguish between trans and not trans is sadly because we still have these fake boundaries of needing to label anyone.

Whether a trans person is female or male or anything in between doesn’t really factor - and I’ve seen everyone share the same bathroom spaces without issue too.

I have yet to see or hear of any attacks by trans people in bathrooms on women, or men. Or at all.

@VModifiedMind they presume to know the mind of another and what is best for them based on what they feel is best for themselves, having done no critical examination of their own hearts and minds.
