This. I'm like a circa 2010ish progressive. Or in today's terms, a racist nazi bigot misogynist.

Anyways, I've never taken much issue with trans people, outside of the drag queen story hour bs, which has apparently evolved into bringing kids to drag shows. All that aside, there are countless cases of "trans women" that are just some fat neckbeard in a sundress. If you want me to be respectful, you need to show you're actually trying. I'm not saying you need to pass, ffs, you can at least not have a six+ month if you want me to even pretend to believe that you actually believe you're a woman.

Also, of the tiny handful of trans women I've interacted with, all of them acknowledged at some point, on their own without anyone bringing it up, that no, they're not actually women.
