Unless they bite you in a park or sh!t on your lawn, why the hell do you care?
Nobody cared until people started demanding to be addressed as a dog.
Exactly. If the trans-species people started claiming that a persons "species" was merely a social construct and all animals are actually the same, they just act out different roles that society assigns to them and if you disagree you should lose your job and be charged with hate crimes, then there would be backlash.

This is the same brain fart people were having 20 years ago about gay marriage.
The line then was that if you let men marry other men, then what do you about people wanting to marry their pets.
It was a stupid argument then and is equally stupid now.

I'm wasn't making the argument that transgenderism is going to lead to transpeciesism (although I wouldn't be surprised either), I was making an analogy. You people need to learn to read.

Just a shot in the dark but I feel like interacting with trans people or dealing with their opinions (rightly or wrongly) is not something you've ever had to deal with, you just like being outraged towards them.

I just find it remarkable that bud light has been canceled by the right. I thought y'all were against cancel culture? And, you are cancelling bud light because they are woke. Isn't cancel culture a woke ideology?
Of course you would think that trans people have never existed in schools when most students, teachers, and administrators would have treated them with absolute ostracism, at best, until fairly recently. But a 45-year-old trans woman was a 15-year-old trans girl 30 years ago, and many of them even realized it then, at least to some extent. Even for children being openly trans, it's been longer than you think, but people who have been out of school for decades (for which I'm very thankful) always have an outdated image of what it's like.
Your claim that "no one had a problem with dressing up as a woman" is a transparent lie to anyone with any sense of history.
By the way, we agree that gender dysphoria is best treated with therapy and drugs.
We just don't agree on what those consist of.
I think we had a transgender student in my elementary school back in 1970s. I wrote "I think" because I am not sure. There was this "girl" who never wore dress or skirt. The kid had short hair, similar to most boys, had masculine mannerism, and never played with other girls. We were never in the same class, so I didn't know much about this kid. When we entered a junior high school, I saw this kid wearing the girls' uniform. That was the first time I ever saw this kid wearing a skirt. Shortly thereafter the kid withdrew from school, and was never seen again. I don't know what happened to this kid.
In hindsight, I think this kid was a trans boy. Back then, we had no idea what "transgender" was, and I am not sure whether the kid or the parents had any idea.
1.) you are not sincere in your beliefs. This is a stupid RW joke that only you fools think is funny
2.) Because you couldn't handle being a black woman.
3.) People culturally self-identify ALL the time. Religion is basically 100% self-identification and you demand all sorts of special treatment due to said religion.

Actually no it's not the same at all.
Gay marriage is about 2 consenting adults marrying one another. Their marriage has no affect on anyone but them.
Pretending to be a woman (or a dog) and then expecting the rest of society to participate in your delusions is a completely different situation.
I identify as a black woman, even though I’m biologically a white male.
Why isn’t this valid?
Now be sure to "act like a black woman" by doing the most stereotypical "black woman act" you can think of. Ta Da! You are now black according to the trans community.

Gay marriage doesn't affect anyone else and that was what we were telling conservatives at the time.
But there were many who made boneheaded arguments that if gay marriage was allowed then what about inter-species marriage or people who wanted to marry inanimate objects.
Being trans doesn't affect anyone else either and here you are making the same arguments. What about people who identify as trans-species? What about people who identify as inanimate objects? What about people who identify as trans-racial? It's all just recycled homophobia.

Literally no one here is against someone having gender dysphoria or identifying as the opposite sex. It's the drastic, illogical shifts in culture and foundations of knowledge in science that people have the problem with. It's like you can't even accept that people aren't being transphobic, cause that would force you to contend with opposing ideas.
