"I'm a guy. I'm male. Doesn't matter if I like pink or any other thing associated with the opposite sex or gender. I'm still what I'm born as. To think otherwise would be a mental disorder."

This. This. This. Unfortunately we live in a current society where we arent allowed to smack people up the back of the head and tell them to stop being stupid. I think it was Ben Shapiro who summed it up nicely and said they arent transgender, theyre transtrender, because just like the whole goth or emo phases that came through in the 90's and 00's, this is the current trend where they can feel different or special.

Why is it also only people under say 25-30 who are suddenly having trouble working out what's between their legs? Why don't the older generations have issues? We've got 10 year olds going around "deciding" that theyre no longer a boy or girl. 10!! A 10 year old doesnt even know what they dont know. There's even accusations from the trans community that if a straight guy isn't attracted to or refuses to have sex with a trans guy who says he identifies as a female, but still has alllllll the male junk between his legs, that this straight guy is nothing but a transphobe.

Are there people who legit have gender stuff wrong and are legit the wrong gender? Sure. But they go and get the surgery and go on all the hormones etc. 99.9% of the current trend of this trans infatuation have zero plan or zero desire to do any of that and we are expected to act like it's all fine and dandy. Guys who suddenly identify as female because theyre attracted to men, how does that not just make them gay? Hell, ive met a guy who identifies as female, who has gone and had implants put in, still has all the male junk, and is in a "lesbian" relationship with a female. Lesbian relationship that has hetero intercourse. How does that even work?

This might be the single most ignorant post in this entire topic. It reads like one of those Christian fundamentalists crying out that evolution must be a hoax or we'd still see apes evolving today.

First of all, do you really think gender dysphoria is a new phenomenon? It's not. The only difference in modern society is that transitioning has become easier and while still taboo (as clearly demonstrated throughout this topic) it's gaining some social acceptance.

Trans people just want others to view them and treat them as their preferred gender. What you're arguing is that someone isn't really trans unless they're getting medical treatments or they've gotten genital surgery. That's absurd. That's like saying that poor people can't like pets because they can't afford them. I would even go so far as to argue that someone transitioning without the aid of medication is even braver than someone who does, because they'll face far more scrutiny in their day to day lives.

At the end of the day, everyone deserves the same level of respect, decency, and basic compassion no matter how they feel inside or what parts they might have between their legs.
