    This is informative but kinda of rude. The OP just said they don’t know if that’s a valid concern or not they didn’t “want to be upset” at anything.

    Sorry to jump on this, but I just find that people immediately dogpile on anyone who says anything other than “pride good”.

    Appreciate the link and info though.

      I was plenty nice. If you had to constantly defend your existence, you might get a little touchy about it too. You do not have the right to tell me how to react to that… are trans people not allowed a bit of frustration when we have to deal with this 24/7? I do not owe anyone pleasantries when they’re pushing propaganda, and whether they meant to or not is irrelevant when the outcome is the same- propaganda being pushed. You’re welcome for the link, but please stop telling trans people how they should act, yeah?

        I hear you, that seems like it would be frustrating. I just think you’re doing your own cause a disservice by attacking folks that admit they don’t know. I think in OP’s case you’re painting them as a adversary when they’re mostly on your side.

        Anyway, you do you, I’m just hoping you’ll think about it a bit. All the best.

          Trans folks do not owe you kindness as payment for existence. Do not respond, I’ll be blocking you cause you’re still trying to tell me how I should act in the face of anti-trans propaganda, which is pretty fucked up.

          Do you tell Jewish people they should be kind to antisemitic remarks? Being nice to bigoted shittakes is not a way to live

      I’m just asking questions…

      A person can choose to learn by repeating lies on social media so they can be “dog-piled” and have their statements picked apart, or they can google “what trans healthcare can minors access in Canada?” If they choose the former, they probably have thick skin by now.

        I getcha, I’m just saying that engaging with people who ask a question by implying they’re stupid or malicious isn’t a great way to reach them, or others that read what you’ve written.

        Maybe you disagree, but just think about it some.

          Actually, I directly suggested they were misinformed and not malicious, rather than implying anything. Since then, they confirmed their intent by moving the goalposts away from their clearly disprovable point, rather than acknowledging that they might have been misinformed by an irresponsible source.

          I’ve thought about this issue plenty, thank you for implying that I’m acting thoughtlessly.
