Please tell me you actually know nobody trans thinks surgeries—or ANYTHING involving the medical community—defines your gender? Tell me you’re just being ignorant for the RTs. Please.

Oh lord. Now, I went with you as far as “internet arguments are silly.” Now you want to start an internet argument with me that shows you don’t even understand the basic principle I was talking about in the first tweet. Really?
The basic idea is: the gender you are assigned at birth is just that, an assignment, the medical community making an (arguably) good-faith guess at what your gender is and telling everybody that’s what you are. But what the medical community assigns doesn’t dictate your identity.

Sometimes, they get it wrong, and they assign “male” to someone who is actually female. (This is the basic, simplistic version of a trans narrative; many people experience it this way, many others do not).

Or they assign “female” to a person who is actually male. Or neither of those gender labels fits a person’s identity. In any case, sometimes ppl want surgery to bring their external appearance in line with their internal identity. But the identity comes first.

I think you’ve been watching too much Disney Channel. I’m aware of that argument. However. I’m not arguing. I’m simply stating “how can y’all wanna be accepted ... but don’t even accept yourself ?” If you’re a man that’s that. No ifs ands or buts

OK so just say you don’t believe trans people and you don’t support them and go. If that’s the case, why go through the process to prove a point?
