With only 1% trans, I think if we’re just willing to ACCEPT when they tell us we got it wrong, apologize and leave it at that, that would be enough.

only 1% trans,

That’s the problem. You forgot that the left wants to pump this number to the levels of 10-20% before 2050

I think you have your numbers confused. The right wants to reduce trans numbers to 0%. The left doesn’t care about increasing numbers, only treating trans people like human beings.

Everyone should be treated with kindness and respect regardless of who they are, what they look like, where they are from, and what they believe.

That does not mean that everyone has to accept whatever beliefs anybody else personally has. Everyone is free to believe what they want. That means that it is both fine to believe something about oneself, and fine not to believe what someone else believes about themselves.

Then can you, please, extend your respect and kindness to not indulge the actual transphobic misinformation there? As well as not stoking the flames over a single downvote? This shit is derailing the fun thread.

You accuse me of phobia. I am not phobic in the slightest. My sister is in a loving relationship with her girlfriend since ten years back, and my little brother is literally trans.

Please do not throw out frivolous accusations just because you have your ideas challenged, it is a vile practice and only outs you as dogmatic.

You accuse me of phobia.

No, I don’t. That was referring to the parent post.

Pretty sure they’re actually a bot given that they nearly instantly reply and they’ve replied to every top-level comment in this thread.
