"cisdude", "your opinion isnt valid", your opinion isnt wanted" etc. Ok lol. You are simply horrible person. Who talks like that? Who you think you are? Who elected you as the spokeperson for transpeople?
You sound like a South Park character.
See, when i want to know what it's like to live as a sexual or ethnic minority or their experiences, I ask a white cisdude
Also I'm a transwoman who has had far morepersonal experience with these matters than
@TheMeInTeam could ever hope to have unless they too decide to transition, both physically, emotionally, educationally and being on the recieving end of.
The problem with people like you is that you think you can gleam the totality of someone's experience by merely reading about it, but that doesn't fully encapsulate it and it doesn't allow you to fully understand it either, there is a degree of detachment inherent in learning about, but not experiencing, it.
Unless of course you wish to argue otherwise,
@Inhalaattori? I don't know what it's like to be your nationality, so instead of basing my opinions on whatever i can read on the internet or on literature and using that to argue about it, I will instead default to those that live within your country or have come from it and have spent a good number of years living in it.
i default to the African American community, the Asian-American community, the Hispanic American community, the Indigineous American community, the Gay community, the lesbian community, the bi community etc, when i want to talk about their issues because i don't have personal experience with those issues but im not going to be so pig-headed as to speak for them if i don't at least have a basic grasp of what the general or trending consensus is within those communities.
And on the matter of "valid opinions" I don't consider the opinion of a cisdude, be it in the affirmative or negative, to hold the same weight, not even necessarily lesser or greater, as someone who has a lived experience being within the transcommunity, just like i don't consider the opinion of a layperson and a person trained in a specific field that i am looking into to be of equal weight. You probably do this all the time, but for some reason you feel the need to attack me under the guise of insinuating i am a terrible person for pointing out a common sense fact.
I welcome other transpeople, especially transmen and non-binary individuals, to engage in this topic, some of them won't precisely because of the reaction i've gotten and because it's incredibly exhausting to have to defend your right to exist and your right to not be discriminated against both socially and legally.
I do think it's interesting you mentioned South Park, because it's quite appropiate to the topic at hand; transphobic beliefs and rhetoric.
. This is a RD thread, and those are supposed to be taken seriously and adhere to pre-agreed rules. I would prefer that this didn't devolve into an ad-hominem spam joke, but here we are.
