1) I'm more GC because it's more based on reality and I see those beliefs and values being more protective of more people and QT views as more harmful. The idealist in me would favor a world where anything could be anything, and in a certain sense I do believe it can.

2) I suppose I had more QT views beforehand, just because I was ignorant and didn't think anyone was being harmed by them.

3) men are adult human males, women are adult human females

4) transwomen are males, transmen are females

5) I don't really have any feelings on "cis", other that now that I know some people don't like being called that that I would rather abstain from using it (it's just synonymous with non-trans in my mind, so I just say that). "Biological" and "natal" seem like a way to maybe ease the sting of gender dysphoria for those who live with it, they're a way to be mindful of a trans person's self-perception of what sex they belong to; I prefer to use them because it's honestly still a shock to me that I'm male, and if I can soften that shock in any way, then I'd like to do that.

6) Not without disadvantages and advantages inherent to sex, no I don't believe so.

7) "Misgendering" is when a person is deliberately addressed or referred to as being a member of their sex when they would prefer to be addressed or thought of as a member of the opposite sex or having no sex at all.

8) Gender is a summation of behavior attributed to sex as either boy or girl, woman or man. Sex is a summation of qualities attributed to reproduction.

9) I'm still a bit new to these ideas and this dichotomy, but I think I know people who lean heavily towards both camps, all of them friends and family. My friends and family all probably lean a bit more towards being QT, I think out of striving to be tolerant and open-minded, but even they hold some GC views. I don't know anyone in my life who is dead-set in either area of thinking.

10) They tend to treat me very well, especially the more I get to talking with them! 😊

11) I think transmedicalists are much more GC than QT, but they are generally averse to embracing the desire to eventually eliminate transsexualism altogether. Generally.

12) I wish QT understood that the desire to prevent transsexualism and gender dysphoria is one of compassion, not hatred

Extra (optional--Put N/A if you choose not to answer, it's okay)

1) Homosexual

2) Transwoman / biological man

3) North America

4) I learned about GC a couple months ago after working on connecting with other trans people online in regards to trauma and discovered transmedicalism and truscum. I learned a post I made on Reddit was shared on a site for radfems (who I knew of as a different name) and thought that they hated trans people because that's what I had been told, but discovered that wasn't really the case. I got to talking with them and making friends and finding I agreed with everything they were saying, so here I am!
