Until someone wants bottom surgery, then everyone must stampede to their GoFundMe before they kill themselves.

Also, trans people are allowed to have their sexual preferences, "because reasons, bigot!"

That's the most frustrating thing about all this. I think there is definitely room for trans people in society, but everything is cast in terms of people ceding ground on very personal boundaries. There are trans people I've met who are "t4t" and feel that they'd be best off with someone who understands their dysphoria. That is perfectly rational.

I'd like for a society where people can be open about things like transitioning and LGB identity, and for everyone involved to state their desires without fearing for their livelihood (or lives). But these sorts of demands are cruel, and do not give anyone (not even the trans person) an opportunity for a happy, fulfilling relationship.

I don’t support this transgender stuff, but whatever. If a man wants to become a woman and look and act as such, it’s none of my business. But I am bothered that I am expected to support it, and that I’m expected to sleep with people with vaginas. And frankly, I do think that trans people would be happier if society was just ambivalent towards them and didn’t put them on a pedestal.
