It's not the same at all. It's all fiction and most people understand that this is not real. And the whole point of acting is to pretend you're someone different from yourself (sometimes, completely different). To keep with Houseplant's example, just like Daniel Radcliffe is not actually a wizard, he won't became a woman if for some weird reason he plays a female character in his next movie. Also, Daniel's character would be female, just problably not a convincing one.

On the other hand, people who identify as trans claim to be something they are not and expect us to go along with it as this were the truth and not make belief.

Which is what actors and actresses do. They claim or pretend to be something they are not. The only "difference" between acting and the TQ belief is for acting, people understand that's not real while for TQs they think what they pretend to be is real. Damn, this makes me hate acting even more.

What...?

Ok, I've been giving you the benefit of the doubt untill now, but I can't help but think you may not be arguing in good faith. Honestly, I don't think you are even QT as I doubt they would refer to trans identities as acting. So, what do you even believe in? If you don't believe in transgenderism/transsexualism why are you not debating them insteas of us? If you're in the fence, why are you not questioning them alongside us?

This poster never engages with their actual views, only absurd hypotheticals. Honestly surprised they are allowed to continue to waste time with bullshit like this.
