I hope that you are against Transgender politics, and not against Trans people

I don't have a problem with individual trannies for the most part. At worst my interactions with them are similar to interacting with a religious zealot. If they say irrational things and won't listen to reason it's annoying, but I can tolerate it. What I have a problem with is when they can't show others the same tolerance. If they take any disagreement as a personal attack or moral failing on the other person's part, then we can't get along.

Trans politics unfortunately are mostly dominated by the latter kind of people trying to codify beliefs that are at best subjective as law.

Since another user brought up autogynophiles, let me just say this: They're perverts but that's fine as long as they can follow the first rule of ethical perversion*: Don't involve unwilling people in your fetish! Unfortunately a lot of them do seem to have a problem there, but maybe those are just the ones we notice?

*I may have made that name up, but the concept is real.

These trannies you speak of. Do they call you "cisgender"? If you tell them to not call you "cisgender" do they respect it, do they get violent or do they screech and get away?

Hmm, I don't recall if that has come up. Good question though.

Yes. There's different profiles. I do want to know from your experiences, genuine curiosity.
