    Why do people think that bodies are immutable and descriptive of who you are but brains and identity can be changed by thought?

    Just like telling people with mental health issues to get over it and stop.

    Why can’t they just be happy being a male and just wear feminine clothes?

    My god, you’re a genius. No trans person has ever tried “just being happy” with how they are. They put themselves through the misery and surgery and social stigmatisation, when all they had to do was “be happy”.

    I bet you could solve depression too, if you put your mind to it.

    If you go through life upset with how others are you’re going to have a tough time because you can’t control how others are.

    Life will be a lot easier for you if you learn to accept others for who they are since it’s beyond your control.

      Good news for everyone is, your belief or approval is not required.

          I for one, find it entertaining. For the rest, I think you just put yourself into this situation. Reaping, sowing, Actions consequences, all that.

          Because we actually do want to spend the time standing up for our sisters. The fact you posted this means you were looking for feedback. Well, here it is, and maybe you will educate yourself more about this issue.

      You’re a transphobe and an asshole. Got it.

      You’ve had your shower thoughts, everyone is telling you why you’re wrong. At best your ideas are from the last century. At worst you’re just a troll. We can’t make you get with the times or summon the smallest amount of empathy for other people, but we can shun you for your offensive attitudes.

    Having to be OK with them going into our bathrooms, not knowing if they could be a predator or not

    Let me ask you something. You just outlined how much time, money and effort someone has to put into trying to transition. Hormone pills (and all of the problems that come with that), a change of wardrobe, a change in how they’re asking people to view and refer to them… Dealing with people like you, who look down on them for trying it… Hate from far right groups, persecution from some governments… General social stigma…

    Do you really think someone is going to go through all of that, and more that you haven’t even covered here, just so they can walk into a women’s room to… do whatever it is you’re afraid they’re doing? Really? I think the chances are better that any random woman you run into in the bathroom is a predator, honestly.

    Pretty sure you’d be able to spot a predator, unless they were using that cloaking thing. They are huge and have weird tentacle-braids, and no concealed weapons permit.
