I understand that you may have some concerns about using gender-neutral pronouns or respecting people's gender identities. It's important to remember that everyone has the right to be addressed in a way that they feel comfortable with. Using someone's correct pronouns is a sign of respect and can help to create a more inclusive environment. It's also important to remember that gender is not a binary. There are many people who identify as non-binary or genderqueer, meaning that they don't feel like they fit neatly into the categories of male or female. Respecting someone's gender identity means using the pronouns that they prefer, even if you don't understand or agree with their identity. I understand that it can be difficult to change the way you speak, especially if you're used to using certain pronouns. However, it's important to make an effort to be respectful of people's gender identities. If you're not sure what someone's pronouns are, you can always ask them. Here are some tips for being more respectful of people's gender identities: * Use people's correct pronouns. If you're not sure what someone's pronouns are, you can always ask them. * Avoid making assumptions about people's gender identity based on their appearance or name. * Be open to learning about different gender identities. There are many resources available online and in libraries that can help you to learn more about gender identity. * Be an ally to people who are transgender or non-binary. This means speaking up against discrimination and violence against transgender and non-binary people, and supporting policies that protect their rights. I hope this helps you to better understand the importance of respecting people's gender identities. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

A sign of respect? Where is their respect of my right not to be forced to idulge another's delusion?

Self identify? You mean pretend to be? Yeah, we know they do.

Violence against trans people? Where? They are the most privileged group in the West, and suffer violence at rates less than any comparable group.

It's all stupid made-up nonsense, and no serious person can ever believe such guff. If you do, you aren't a serious person.

In the tapestry of human experience, respect stands as an indispensable thread, intricately weaving together the delicate fabric of our interactions. It is a profound acknowledgment of the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, irrespective of their beliefs, identities, or choices. However, the notion of respect, like many aspects of human existence, is often entangled in complexities and contradictions. The recent discourse surrounding transgender identities and rights has ignited a fierce debate, casting a spotlight on the intricate interplay between respect, individual rights, and societal norms. At the heart of this debate lies a fundamental question: what constitutes respect in the context of gender identity? Some argue that respecting transgender individuals necessitates the affirmation and validation of their chosen identities, including the use of pronouns and names that align with their gender expression. Others contend that respect should be extended regardless of whether one agrees with or comprehends another person's gender identity. They assert that refusing to use someone's preferred pronouns or name is not a sign of disrespect but simply an expression of their own beliefs and values. While both perspectives hold valid points, it is essential to recognize that respect is not a static concept but rather a dynamic and evolving force that must navigate the delicate terrain of individual rights and societal norms. In the case of transgender individuals, the right to self-identify and the right to be respected for that identity are inextricably linked. Denying someone's chosen pronouns or name is not only disrespectful but also a denial of their fundamental right to self-determination. Respect, in its truest form, is not merely a passive acknowledgment of another person's existence but an active engagement with their reality. It requires us to listen, to understand, and to empathize with the experiences of others, even when those experiences differ from our own. It demands that we challenge our preconceived notions and biases, and that we approach each interaction with an open heart and an open mind. The issue of violence against transgender people further underscores the urgency of fostering a culture of respect. Transgender individuals face alarmingly high rates of violence, discrimination, and social exclusion, simply because of who they are. To dismiss these experiences as "stupid made-up nonsense" is not only insensitive but also perpetuates the harmful narrative that transgender people are somehow less deserving of respect and dignity. The notion that transgender people are the most privileged group in the West is not only factually incorrect but also deeply offensive. It erases the lived experiences of countless transgender individuals who face systemic discrimination and marginalization. It is a dangerous and harmful myth that perpetuates the idea that transgender people are somehow undeserving of empathy, compassion, and respect. In advocating for respect, it is not our intention to silence or dismiss differing opinions. We recognize that respectful dialogue is essential for progress and understanding. However, we must never lose sight of the fundamental principle that respect is non-negotiable. It is a cornerstone of a just and equitable society, and it must be extended to all individuals, regardless of their gender identity or any other aspect of their being. As we navigate the complexities of the transgender rights debate, let us strive to cultivate a culture of empathy, understanding, and respect. Let us listen to the experiences of transgender individuals, challenge our own biases, and advocate for their rights. Let us work together to create a world where everyone, regardless of their gender identity, is treated with dignity and respect.

Using the pronouns of the opposite sex isn't self-determination, it is fantasy.

Nobody had the right to coerce someone into acknowledging a lie.

There are no complexities to the "transgender debate", just liars and their enablers.

[–]artfunk 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Dear fellow forum members, I would like to approach the topic of using pronouns of the opposite sex with empathy and understanding. It is crucial to foster an environment where all individuals feel safe and respected, regardless of their gender identity. I understand that discussions surrounding transgender rights can be complex and polarizing, but it is essential to approach these conversations with empathy and an open mind. While it is true that some individuals may perceive using pronouns of the opposite sex as fantasy or a departure from self-determination, it is essential to recognize that gender identity is a deeply personal experience. For many transgender individuals, using their preferred pronouns is an integral part of their self-expression and a crucial step towards affirming their authentic selves. Dismissing this as fantasy overlooks the genuine struggles and experiences they face. We must acknowledge that no one has the right to coerce another person into acknowledging a lie. However, it is equally important to remember that recognizing and using someone's preferred pronouns is an act of respect, validating their identity, and affirming their dignity. It does not necessitate the acceptance of falsehood, but rather an acknowledgment of another person's deeply held truth. Approaching the transgender discussion as a dichotomy between liars and enablers oversimplifies the issue and hinders meaningful dialogue. In reality, it is a matter of recognizing and understanding the spectrum of gender identities and experiences. It is about empathy, compassion, and ensuring that everyone feels seen and heard. By fostering an environment of empathy, we can create a space where individuals feel comfortable sharing their experiences. It is through dialogue and understanding that we can challenge our preconceived notions and grow as a society. Engaging with diverse perspectives helps us develop a broader understanding of the complexities surrounding gender identity and transgender experiences. When discussing the transgender debate, it is crucial to approach it from a place of empathy rather than judgment. We must remember that our words have the power to shape opinions and impact lives. By using language that respects and validates individuals' unique experiences, we can contribute to a more inclusive and understanding society. In conclusion, embracing empathy and understanding is vital when discussing the use of pronouns of the opposite sex. Recognizing and respecting someone's preferred pronouns does not mean embracing falsehoods but rather validating their identity and affirming their worth. Let us engage in meaningful dialogue, challenge our beliefs, and strive to create a more inclusive society where every individual feels valued and respected. Thank you for taking the time to read my response. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and continuing this important discussion. Warm regards, [Your Name]

It is not incumbent an anyone to recognise a personal experience of another.

Nor is it my responsibility to make someone feel safe. Or respected. Or valued.

Empathy and understsnding work both ways, amd the TRA have shown none.

[–]artfunk 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

The assertion that it is not incumbent upon anyone to acknowledge or validate another person's experiences, nor is it their responsibility to ensure someone feels safe, respected, or valued, is a narrow and incomplete perspective that fails to recognize the importance of empathy and understanding in fostering healthy and harmonious relationships. Empathy and understanding are not one-sided obligations; they are reciprocal qualities that require active engagement from all parties involved. True empathy involves the ability to step into another person's shoes, to see the world from their perspective, and to comprehend their emotions and experiences, even if they differ from our own. When we fail to recognize or acknowledge another person's experiences, we invalidate their reality and essentially communicate that their feelings and perspectives are inconsequential. This can lead to feelings of isolation, loneliness, and a lack of belonging, which can have detrimental effects on an individual's mental and emotional well-being. In the context of the TRA (an acronym not defined in the provided text), it is crucial to recognize that empathy and understanding are essential for building trust and rapport with the communities they serve. Without these qualities, it is impossible to effectively address the needs and concerns of those they are tasked with assisting. Empathy and understanding are not merely optional virtues; they are fundamental pillars of human interaction and social cohesion. They allow us to connect with others on a deeper level, to foster meaningful relationships, and to create a society where everyone feels seen, valued, and respected. To suggest that empathy and understanding are one-sided responsibilities is to disregard the inherent interconnectedness of human existence. We are all part of a larger tapestry, and our actions and attitudes have the power to uplift or diminish those around us. If we want to create a world where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued, we must cultivate a culture of empathy and understanding, where each individual recognizes the inherent worth and dignity of every other individual. This requires a conscious effort to listen actively, to seek out diverse perspectives, and to challenge our own biases and assumptions. It is not always easy to understand or empathize with those whose experiences differ from our own. However, it is a necessary endeavor if we are to build a society where everyone feels included, respected, and valued. In the words of the renowned author and activist, bell hooks, "Empathy is a radical act of understanding another person's experience without judgment." Let us all strive to be radical empathizers, actively seeking to understand and validate the experiences of others, even when they differ from our own.

If I fail to use the correct gender pronouns then they'll get so angry they start spinning so fast and fly into the air. At which point they'll start throwing 100 dollar bills at everyone before summoning a dragon to come eat McDonald's with me. Why not? And how is there a p in team? When there is already an I?

[–]Femaleisnthateful 9 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 0 fun10 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

These men don't want to be women, they want to be children. Maybe they think it's the same thing.

They're consumed with avoiding adult ('male') responsibilities and just being comfortable all the time.

By the way, I was a real 'girl' and didn't have most of these formative experiences. Never made bracelets or was interested in makeup or had long hair. Didn't do sleepovers. Somehow I grew in to a functional adult. Imagine that!

[–]LyingSpirit472 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Maybe so, but if I don't get violently molested by every man in my family, over and over again, my gaping holes aching as I bite a pillow in hope of some relief that thankfully never comes after saying I use a different pronoun, then how could I ever have really been a girl? Checkmate.

Shiver me timbers. It turns out I'm female because I take care of my hygiene and have a shopping list. Starting OnlyFans ASAP.

The real question here is - what sort of hygiene routine these freaks had if they think that taking care of your nails is a female trait? Maybe start with cleaning your dick cheese.

Fucking yuck.

Skincare routines are good for everyone too. Some people seem to think it's all about being pretty when some of it is just basic looking after yourself like wearing sunscreen. Or using moisturiser, I know that really helps my bf with his eczema and general skin health. As he puts it "It helps stop my skin from falling off."

[–]slavdude0 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

Bingo. I have dry skin so I moisturize it, use oils, etc.

It's not about excessive beauty. It's about not looking like a hobo with skin cancer.

Right? Your skin is a big part of you. Take care of it. Some men are so damn resistant to even the basic shit when it literally only helps.

Plus some of it just makes your skin feel and look a lot better even if what you're doing is minimal. I just don't want people to have cracked skin or manage to get an infection from it all because moisturiser is for women.

Moisturizing and using oils are good ways to keep your skin healthy and hydrated. You no wan make your skin dry and cracked, and you no wan make e look like say you be hobo or something. "I know say some people might say say you dey do too much, but I think say na good thing to take care of your skin. You only get one body, and you need to take care of it.

Wait a minute I thought trans-women were women and had been women their whole life. Why would someone who is unquestionably a women be asking advice on how to woman. Shouldn't they already know since they are a woman.

Maybe avoid mirrors as much as possible

And garlic, definitely avoid that, and churches, and sunlight. Avoid those too.

The realm of gender identity, particularly the experiences of transgender individuals, remains a subject shrouded in misconceptions, biases, and societal stigmas. The recent discussion board post, which centers around the idea that transgender women should innately possess feminine knowledge and behaviors, perpetuates harmful stereotypes and fails to recognize the complexities of gender identity and expression. To engage in a meaningful and empathetic dialogue, it's crucial to acknowledge that gender is a spectrum, not a binary construct. Transgender individuals may identify as women, yet their experiences and understanding of femininity might differ from those assigned female at birth. Their journeys towards self-discovery and expression are unique and highly personal. The suggestion to avoid mirrors, garlic, churches, and sunlight as a means to maintain a sense of womanhood is not only insensitive but also dismissive of the diverse experiences of transgender women. It reinforces the notion that there is a singular, prescribed way to be a woman, which is simply not true. Empathy demands that we recognize the lived experiences of transgender individuals, respecting their right to define their own identities and express their femininity in ways that feel authentic to them. Seeking advice and support from others, regardless of gender identity, is a natural part of navigating the complexities of life. Moreover, the implication that transgender women are somehow "less than" or "not real" women is not only hurtful but also perpetuates harmful stereotypes. Transgender women, like all individuals, deserve respect, understanding, and the opportunity to live their lives authentically without fear of judgment or discrimination. As we strive to foster an inclusive and compassionate society, it's essential to educate ourselves about gender diversity, challenge harmful misconceptions, and cultivate empathy towards those whose experiences differ from our own. Only then can we create a world where all individuals, regardless of gender identity, feel valued, respected, and empowered to live their lives fully and authentically. Remember, empathy is not about agreeing with someone's choices or experiences; it's about seeking to understand their perspective and respecting their right to exist as they are. By approaching discussions with empathy and an open mind, we can work towards creating a more inclusive and understanding society for all.

The irony is that the OP is actually a real girl who was raised by narcissistic parents who wanted a boy so forced her to wear boy clothes and play with GI Joe toys and tie fire crackers to cat's tails and other boy things 😁

All jokes aside, this confused kid is a 16y.o. and he's asking for child-like activities that he can do to pretend to be a girl. He wants to cosplay as an eight or ten year old girl. That's fucked up.
