As a woman, I strongly disagree with the transgender shit. Here's my reasoning. (holy shit I can say this without a ban!)

A man wanting to become a woman only wants the beauty of being a woman. He doesn't want the menstrual bullshit.. The roller coaster of emotions, the pain of bearing children.. No he wants to be able to be accepted for wearing dresses and makeup and YASSSSS gurl accent. He wants to perpetuate the female stereotype, all while screaming "ThErES nO gEnDeR!"

Being a woman isn't all grace, beauty, fashion...it's pain, suffering and confusion...its just being human is what I'm getting at. You're not a woman by cutting off your dick or by putting on a dress and being good at blending your makeup. That stuff doesn't make a woman. Those are stereotypes.

Tell me how you feel like a woman? What does that even mean? The only time I'm reminded that I am a woman is when my female organs start yelling at me and stabbing me from within.

By wanting to be the other gender, you're just admitting that gender stereotypes are true for you.

Is this line of thinking sound? I'd like some feedback honestly. Especially from an opposing side so I can discuss it.

I can get behind this. I do think that gender dysphoria is a mental illness (not in a derogatory way) but that it deserves professional treatment and therapy, and that the ACTUAL number of people who should transition should be incredibly rare because it's so often regretted and is more of a trend now because someone said "I wish I had boobs" once or felt feminine for a month.

I don't think it's unreasonable though for diagnosed gender dysphorics who go through a transition should be respected as humans though, but I also don't think it's unfair to say that they aren't actually women and that shouldn't be treated as hate speech.
