I don't really understand what you're trying to get at, but don't feel the need to continue. I just don't understand why you continually post things to your sub basically hating on trans people. You seem like a nice person. I don't understand.

That's too bad, and you're correct, I'm a nice person, and not hating on anyone. A great deal of what I write is usually generalized, meaning that if you reread much of what I wrote, it's generalized towards all of society. To be clear, and specific on one point that you seemed to focus on, was the nipping, cutting, and scrawling. A small example would be the Pamela Anderson barbed wire tribal tattoo; do you realize how many people got that, just to fit in? You saw the tat everywhere, it went from super cool, to super humorous. This is an example of what I'm talking about; people jump on trends as a means of perceived elevated status for little more than recognition.

The cabal, and their mouthpieces scream we all have special choices, but as long as they're within (insert approved special group here), and not outside of that. The only thing I've been trying to say, is people in general have their own reason for what they do, disapprove of, or approve of.

If a young girl doesn't feel comfortable, or secure showering with anyone else, and due to the fact she sees male genetalia, it should be her exclusive right to say no.... Simply because none of us have walked in her shoes. We don't know what triggers, or just dislikes she may have, and to tell her 'tolerance' on such an intimate time as changing, and showering, is wrong. We all need to get along was, and is my point.

I mean, trans women are usually (this is a very general statement) not so happy with their male genitalia either. They wouldn't typically be exposing themselves in public - if so, I'd assume that they'd have some other type of issue, if you know what you mean. As a trans male, I would NEVER openly change in a public space due to my dysphoria and not wanting to make other guys feel uncomfortable.

I agree that we need to get along, and I agree that a little girl shouldn't have to see a penis. I don't think very many people are arguing that.

Hi Ezra, It's me, Sundog, aka Sancho. Simple story, my significant other created sundogsplace, and now finally, I'm just me.

I had wondered, but now from your last post, I see that you indeed find this topic near, and dear; I can comprehend that, and the emotions that go along with it.

I find common ground in your last post on a multitude of things; I also don't like being naked in public, lol....... But more so you touch upon others emotions, and perceptions; which I applaud you for, more people need to learn to think of others, but on their own without force.

I won't bore you any longer, you were already wanting to move along, but have you ever listened to Camille Paglia? I just recently stumbled upon her, and find a lot of common ground in a lot of what's said; I don't take her as authority, but someone with at least an original thought, or more.

Never heard of her. A quick google shows she's a trans women who doesn't identify with being a woman, not really sure what that means. And she's very anti-puberty blockers. I'm actually a minor who started cross-sex hormones at 16, so I guess she'd hate me.

Interesting. I fundamentally disagree with her. Trans women are women in my eyes; trans men are men. I've spent a long time debating this with so-called gender critical people on reddit, who she may identify with. Who knows. Interesting to see differing opinion, though.
