>>81482200I made a distasteful joke, although not without purpose. I want to see how you react to understand your values. To be clear, I am sorry. I did not mean it. Based on your response I can tell you are serious and that your reasoning is based in disgust, so something good came of it.
To begin, I will preface this by saying that I am trans. Not off to a great start beating the "hating women" allegations, I know.
Speaking for myself, I don't see this. I hear this everywhere, that I have to be a fetishist, or hate women. I just don't see it. My reasons were deeply personal, not particularly sexual.
I don't think men and women are very dissimilar. I know I can't see things from an "outside" perspective, but I see the same traits reflected in the ways men and women speak about each other. It hurts to see this level of animosity. I have a very visceral reaction to divisiveness. I see gender essentialism as antithetical to equality. I have much to say on this topic.
Do you have any questions? I just want to reach an understanding.
