It's 100% luck if you find someone like that. You're actually better off trying to engage with woke LGB people and slowly inject sanity into your conversations. Most genuinely same-sex attracted people will come around eventually, as long as you don't out yourself as an EEEEVIL TRANS HATING BIGOT too early.

Agreed, unfortunately. Don't write off the wokies too fast, a lot of gendercrits were once woke too. Sometimes it does work out to slowly discuss your way into understanding sex-based oppression and attraction

Yes that's true...I used to be "woke" too, back when I was a teen. Then when became adult, I was able to think/see for myself without peer pressure.

I was testing this out with "pansexual" coworker who considers me one of her "besties". We ended up talking about transing kids. I told her I don't agree and she got offended...then I said "I meant, I don't agree with putting them on hormones or doing surgery" [which is a lie, because I DON'T agree with ANY transitioning but wanted to see what she'd say] but she sorta ignored that and we talked about something else...

I mean...I detransitioned...I know what it's like. I never did hormones or surgery though. I always KNEW it would NEVER be the same as being born the opposite sex and that's what used to depress me.

That's what these TRAs don't understand. It won't help kids AT ALL.

We need to just let people be.

Just because I am more...masculine?? Doesn't mean I HAVE to transition to be a man. It's just as bad as back a few decades ago when society say "You must change your masculine personality and ACT like a lady". Now it's "You must change your biological female body to match your masculine personality"

It's a load of shit.

I'm...going to try the JKR thing instead for now on as a "slide in" conversation that many mentioned here.
