Current Events > Transphobic Opinions?

(+) Yeah! (+)

First things first I dont go out of my way to be transphobic. I support trans rights and recognize that transpeople are probably the least supported and most misunderstood individuals out there. I cant fathom how difficult it must be to be transgender. Clearly, it is not a choice. To hate your own body, the struggle within, and also withstand how cruel and unforgiving society is It takes a strong person to overcome all that.

I will always call you by your preferred name and pronoun. After all, it doesnt take much to show basic courtesy and respect. Also, Ill fight for your right to live life however you choose. We all deserve to be happy and fulfilled. Life is hard enough to navigate without society trying impose itself on you.

However, in private, I get annoyed that transpeople want you to partake in their delusion. I dont say that to spite anyone, but if you have to take hormones for life, remove perfectly good body parts, and go against nature and basic biology, then it seems like you have a psychological issue. Why then, is it my duty to indulge you? Why be hostile towards someone who misunderstands? That is a you problem.

Ive also known people who have transitioned, and rather than feeling joy for them, Ill feel some level of sadness or cringeyness deep down. Or for example, when I see a transwoman speaking with a clearly male voice, IlI think to myself, thats a man. Ill always think thats a man, even if I outwardly call her by her preferred name and pronoun. Some transpeople are very convincing, maybe even near impossible to tell, and more power to them, but I also find that deceptive in a way. Especially when it comes to intimate relationships.

Am I alone in thinking this way? Am I an asshole for it? Opinions/help? Maybe these are the thoughts you don't put in a public forum???
