You say you are a transgender woman but have you relied on the politically correct establishments that you apparently know to be corrupt to confirm that diagnosis? After all, the American Psychological Association controls the DSM-5 and the World Health Organization controls the ICD.

Taking into consideration the massive increase in people who identify as transgender over the last decade, has it occurred to you that your own diagnosis might have been based on research that was influenced by political thought?

Whether one believes in a conspiratorial reason for the increase or an environmental reason for the increase or just gross incompetence by those who are blinded by their politically correct beliefs for the increase, it would appear there is flaw in the methods leading to all of these diagnoses.

    Um... no. None of those things are trans things. You're just a really feminine cis guy.

    Yet 20 years ago if you'd had done all that and lived your life the same way you wouldn't have called yourself transgender. The whole idea has been created recently and you sucked it up.

    Probably not, but it's good to have terms to describe things. It's not my defining trait or anything, and I'd rather just be a "woman" rather than "transwoman", but people still categorize each other into cis and trans.

    I'm transgender because I like wearing feminine clothes, wearing makeup, acting feminine, having long hair, etc.

    You do realize that gender non-conforming women exist, yes? You can't throw on a dress and lipstick and stake a claim on womanhood. It's insulting as fuck having men reduce the entire god damned sex to this reductionist stereotype.

    But assuming you didn't intend to post this on r/writingprompts and got confused...

    You're either a gay man in drag or you suffer from autogynephilia and the myriad of psychological disorders that often accompany the fetish.

    I would question the womanhood of women who don't follow gender norms. They have the right to do so, but they shouldn't get mad when people refer to them as men.

    I'm romantically interested in women, actually, not men. Sexually, I'm abstinent.

    you throw on a dress and heels and you think you're more of a woman than someone with an actual female reproductive system. a woman is an adult human female. not an adult who wears dresses. get over yourself.

    What does reproductive organs have to do with how you dress, your pronouns, your name, etc?

    [–]lmaonope333 6 insightful - 10 fun6 insightful - 9 fun7 insightful - 10 fun -  (0 children)

    it doesn't. I have female reproductive organs so no matter how I dress act or or feel, I'm always a woman.

    That's called being a transvestite.

    I've never heard anyone below the age of 60 use that word.

    but why cant you just be a feminine man?

    [–][deleted] 11 insightful - 2 fun11 insightful - 1 fun12 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

    I prefer feminine pronouns and names and socially interact as a woman. I'm biologically male, but I don't know if that counts, lol.

    [–]lmaonope333 5 insightful - 9 fun5 insightful - 8 fun6 insightful - 9 fun -  (2 children)

    what does it mean to socially interact as a woman?

    [–][deleted] 11 insightful - 1 fun11 insightful - 0 fun12 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    There are certain ways women act, dress, etc. and how others perceive them.

    [–]lmaonope333 7 insightful - 11 fun7 insightful - 10 fun8 insightful - 11 fun -  (0 children)

    basically stereotypes. you're reducing females to stereotypes

    [–]Realwoman 2 insightful - 11 fun2 insightful - 10 fun3 insightful - 11 fun -  (1 child)

    Do you get turned on while doing that?

    [–][deleted] 12 insightful - 7 fun12 insightful - 6 fun13 insightful - 7 fun -  (0 children)

    No, not at all.

    There is a lot of research showing that men have lost a lot of testosterone compared to older generations. If you could be "cured" of transgenderism by taking testosterone supplements would you do it?

    This. I agree with everything else he is saying. So what, he's got a problem. If he aint out there screaming in my face when I say he's a he not a 'she', then I see him as a great individual with one flaw. Everyone has flaws. And if he wants to stick with this one, that's up to him. But good luck getting the left to agree with everything else he believes. Deep down, he's a more conservative and therefore he is welcome to join us.
