no man should be compelled to lie
no man should be forced to change his beliefs to suit intolerant people or to put a handicap on his reasoning ability.
This is why I just can't call transgender people by their "proper" pronouns. I just cant believe you are what you say you are. I think the best you can do is look like the gender you want but you can never BE that gender. I can't change what i believe no more than i can change any other immutable part of who i am. You could be forceful and try and make me by being rude or using force, but then i would be lying. You could try and emotionally manipulate me and make me feel bad about my beliefs but then i would be putting a handicap my my reasoning ability to suit your desire for me to change. The world is a better place when we are tolerant of other people, and this includes their beliefs too

whats your opinion on the topic?

trans women are men
trans men are women
gender identity is total bullshit
gender dysphoria is total bullshit

why is pink feminine?

I don't think it matters, just because I'm not trans and don't quite get what they're going through doesn't mean I can't give them the benefit of the doubt and treat them with dignity. It costs me nothing to use someones pronouns even if to me they don't appear to be what they claim. I am not a smart man by any measure but I can tell you that the more you learn the more you realise you don't know, and there is a lot we don't know about how and why people think and feel certain ways.
I disagree with you and I think people can live an experience opposite of their birth sex but ultimately arguing about the intangible hurts my brain too much, it doesn't matter just be good to each other.

desu i don't really care if you consider me a man or a woman, as long you're nice and you don't want to stop me from transitioning, i'm okay with that
