:l no, what you said about abolishing gender is exactly what TERFs say to argue against the validity of trans people and to strawman and deny our struggles.

The fuck you talking about? I clearly stated Im against abolishing gender. I'm not against a man transitioning into a woman and being referred to as a woman. I'm against erasing the terms man and woman from existence just so others feelings don't get hurt. There is significance to what you were born as, but you can change that all you like. And I will treat you as what you identify as. I've done nothing but show that here with my actions.

Name is correct. A very common stance held by TERFs is that transwomen (specifically) are becoming women in order to find ways to undermine the historical progress that was made to benefit women.

So... multiple rooms or something? Because I feel like traffic for public places would be impeded big time.

Theres women and men restrooms. But women dont feel comfortable with trans women being in their rooms, and I think vice versa.

We dont really have a consensus on how to handle it besides unisex bathrooms.

I mean, I wouldnt exactly be okay with a trans guy being in my bathroom. Though I guess saying it out loud makes it appear transphobic?

I dont think thats how it works. It would be for the protection of trans people too.

If I understand correctly, they definitely dont seem to think trans woman = woman. I dont recall the exact words, as this hasnt come up in a while, but I think it was because its... a guy first, that turns woman.

I mean, theres different degrees of trans, yea? Like, if someone doesnt do surgery, or do the voice thing, is that still a trans person?

Ill be honest, Im not very well informed on this. I still thought it was a mental illness for example. But now people are saying its a physical one. So I mean no offense to what Im saying or asking.

There are transpeople that have taken the effort to appear as the gender they identify as. In that way, it's possible that many people have shared restrooms with transpeople without even knowing it. Not to mention in most public restrooms I'm familiar with, there's not a lot of scrutiny going on as it is. People do their business and leave.

Do you think these people you've spoken to/articles you've read are simply just insecure knowing that as opposed to not knowing that?

Can be. It's up to the person in question.

It's actually not even an "illness" by definition. You might be thinking of what's known as "gender dysphoria", which is the emotional distress a person can feel when they're not comfortable with themselves from a gender standpoint. Not every trans person goes through this.

Simply being transgender is not an illness. It's just a state of being.

I guess thats a good point. I think its just the idea of it. Like, the complaints and whatnot Ive read were probably cases where the trans person didnt not look even somewhat transitioned. I imagine if people looked more convincingly, people just wouldnt know. But I dunno why the knowledge itself increases tension tbh. For women, I get. Cause a guy in a restroom poses problems. But not others.

Surgery is elective. Some trans people may really really want surgery for the purpose of their own mental health and dialing down their own personal gender dysphoria, but it's not necessarily required.

I was watching a video that was exactly that earlier. And this whole topic was focused on trans people. Obviously it's not all or even most of trans people. Just like it's also not all or most of everyone else. All I'm saying is I'm not for it. You are also not for it. All that's left is to argue is who to blame most. I'm good on having that argument.

Not necessarily. Like I said, not everyone gets surgery. The only thing that defines someone who is transgender is that their gender identity does not match up with the one that was assigned to them at birth.

Not really. He just has to identify as the gender that the symbol on the door represents.

transitioning* Transgendering isn't a word.

Cross dressing is just wearing clothes of the opposite sex, but socially transitioning involves living as the gender you identify as, which can include voice therapy, learning new mannerisms, all sorts of things. I appreciate your open-mindedness to learning more about this topic.

Exactly. Someone is transgender when their gender doesn't match up with their assigned sex at birth. This can cause the person to feel distressed when referred to by the incorrect pronouns, being viewed as the wrong gender by society, having to live life as the wrong gender, not being accepted by their parents, etc. They might choose to socially transition or medically transition. Medically transitioning can include various types of surgeries (top surgery, bottom surgery, facial surgeries), or going on hormones (testosterone, estrogen, etc). Here is a great article to read too:

Which gets into the idea of the idea of why we even have gendered bathrooms in the first place. And if the worry was getting attacked, there's nothing physically preventing anyone from attacking anyone else in a restroom, be they cis, trans, male, or female. I'm not saying there's a perfect answer to this, but it's something to think about.

Someone doesn't even have to transition at all to be transgender. It can just be a feeling the person has but chooses not to transition for whatever reason. You can never truly know if someone who appears cis-gendered is transgender.
