Hey-- I didn't see your post get removed, but you don't even have to be homosexual/bisexual to post or comment on this sub, allies and heterosexual/asexual people can, too! The only requirement is that posts be on-topic. I have seen a couple other transsexuals floating around here as well.

I kind of think there should be a s/askLGBdroptheT or something for these types of posts; s/lgbdropthet moved to Saidit but has yet to flesh out a full ecosystem of sibling subsaidits and whatnot. Or possibly a s/LGBdebatesQT or something (s/GCdebatesQT is different, many of us on this sub are not GC or radfem). Do you think there are other TQ-identified people interested in having a conversation as well, or were you just curious for yourself?

Wish you well. I am against transgender ideology in any of its forms, including even for homosexual transsexual (HSTS) people who want to transition, but I do respect the right of any adult to follow their own belief system as long as they are not pushing it on others and are not harming others.

I think there are certainly other transsexuals out there interested in an honest discussion, however the trenders and non-binaries? Not so much. They are not willing to challenge their own thinking in a respectful discussion, which really goes to show how young that demographic skews. They're incapable of rational and adult discourse because they are neither rational nor adults. I'm personally sick of them being the face of the T, I personally also believe in dropping the T because we have nothing in common. This is a lifestyle choice and I don't need any new rights, only the same rights as anyone else and the right to not be persecuted or discriminated against because of my transsexual status in employment and other areas. Laws should not be put in place to make a world which triggers my dysphoria in the least possible way because my dysphoria is my own responsibility, I genuinely just want to be left alone.

Gotcha, that's good to know. I have seen a few over on s/GCdebatesQT as well.

Well, that's pretty clear-cut and consistent, fair enough.

Like I said, I am ultimately against trans ideology in any form, and a lot of other people here are as well. (I think it's roughly 50/50 or maybe 33/67 between pro-transsexual and anti-transsexual, on this sub.) So you might get some pushback here, fair warning. I respect your coming onto this sub to engage in dialogue, though, that's really the only way to move forward. Maybe I will see you around. :)

edit: Also I very much agree @ kids being a big driver of discussion about transgenderism. Reading about all of this has made me way more of a proponent of putting limits/controls on how much internet access kids have... simply from a safety perspective, it's a massively neglected topic.
