Those people lack empathy, they'd sing a different tune if this shit ended up on their doorstep. If it were their opportunities being stolen, or their child being told their body is wrong, or if they were facing social pressure to date outside their sexual preference, or even if it were themselves being pressured into thinking there's something wrong with them because they don't conform to gender stereotypes. And what about fucking truth? Does truth not matter to these people?

But, that's part of a bigger problem than genderwoo: because they lack empathy, they wouldn't sing a different tune, because the tune they sing is "Look how special I AM". They lose opportunities, "look how special I am for stepping aside to give [x] an opportunity!", child's body is wrong, "Look how special I am for being the parent of a [insert]gender child!", social pressure, "Look how special I am for having a partner who is [x]!"
