It would be so interesting if humans didn't have a gender assigned at birth and could choose who they want to be.

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.
Is it possible that any of them ever got it wrong?
The amount of people who detransition is incredibly small compared to the overall trans population, and even then most people detransition because society didn’t accept them and battered them down until they gave up.
I take that as a yes, people can be wrong about themselves and who they are.

People can be wrong about literally anything. That is not an excuse to say “fuck everyone else in this group.”

If you extend this argument, we shouldn’t believe what anyone tells us about absolutely anything because they might have made a mistake. Truly a great basis for human society.

Why would you presume that questioning someone’s beliefs would mandate to treat them like shit? What a bizarre worldview. Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, whatever they believe.

But your beliefs about the world do not dictate my beliefs about the world. That is surely not a hard concept to grasp?

Because there’s an explicit bias in your questioning. You wouldn’t question if I’m really cis-hetero, but you would question of I’m reeeeeeeeally gay or trans, even thought I’m sure there are more people who come up publicly as gay after having children than there are trans detransitioning.

This is the same as the maga mentality, where any man in a position of responsibility is accepted by default, but for women they demand justification for the role.

Bruh I don’t know what that means. I don’t keep up with the nomenclature. And genuinely, you need to check your own bias before accusing others. It’s always accusations and moral condemnation. Like, I don’t care. You do you, I do me. I just try to treat people nice and leave it at that. You don’t get to dictate what I should or shouldn’t feel or think.
