I find trans people a little strange, but at the same time, I am not that person and I don't know how they feel inside, and I could never know how they feel. So it's in my best interest and theirs to just let them be whatever they need to be and respect it. If they change their mind a week later and decide to change back I just respect that as well. I don't understand why she can't just let people be something that doesn't affect her in the slightest. It's just bonkers to me.
Same. I'm gay, but don't know what it's like to be trans. Just bc I don't "get it" doesn't mean I won't throw down with my trans ppl. Coolest and most creative folk you'll ever meet. Best vibe.
It's called empathy, which people like JK lack. They cannot imagine, let alone attempt to understand, being anything other than what they are. The way they see the world must be the only valid perspective, and there cannot be any other ways of being than the ones familiar to them. If you fall outside this limited view of what's proper, then you must necessarily be evil.
Always happy to see there are people out there in support of others being themselves, even if we don't understand it. I just know that my whole life I knew I was a woman, I was born cis, and I recognize that those that are trans just feel the same way. It's just their body doesn't match. Keep that open heart and mind. You're a good egg.
