Ahh yes, the trans activist community is well known for their reasonableness.
Just ask any female NCAA D1 swimmer.

Saw this is incorrect firsthand in law school with a female transitioning to male during out second year she went to he.
She was almost expelled for going on ballistic rants and attempting to get other students expelled for not using her new name and gender, which you canāt legally force people to do. And these folks did not do it on purpose.
Again, thanks for sending that. Very charismatic speaker
To respond to a few of the main points
Kids: Yeah, hard to argue for giving experimental treatments to kids. Iām against it too - therapy, or simply āwaiting it outā should be the approach taken with them.
āTrendinessā: In my experience, I simply havenāt seen this happening. Every trans person I know arrived at that conclusion after a long period of doubt and uncertainty. A great deal of thought goes into when if if they come out or act upon how they feel. If a population doing it because itās trendy exists, Iād imagine that itās mostly kids/preteens, who are pretty easily talked into these sort of things. And again - I donāt support irreversible medical procedures being preformed upon that population.
Social media: Social media in pretty much every form is an abomination (I am aware of the irony of me saying that on a forum)

More āthe specific flavor of Western European culture that became globally predominant over the past ~500 yearsā than āan entire human civilizationāsā
Plenty of cultures around the globe have had people analogous to transgender people for as long as theyāve existed.
But aside from that, yeah, pretty much.
Iād guess I have more anecdotal experience than you around trans and LGBTQ+ folks living where we do respectively, and negative interactions have been extremely rare for me. Admittedly, anecdotal. Like I said, if they are an asshole, theyre an asshole regardless of their pronouns or orientation. Do what you can to be a nice polite person and move on with your day.
Also, second year law would not be my first suggestion of when to go through a F-M transition. Woof.
These people are exceptions to the rule, there are pricks in every subset of the population. In my experience, most of them would be far more likely to refrain from commenting on your mistake, and then feel shitty afterwards over the fact that people still perceive them as their assigned gender. Maybe go and complain to some friends over discord, lol
I was trying to avoid taking the low-hanging fruit of a California joke, haha.
Also worth considering that a trans person in Mississippi would likely be (necessarily) more defensive about if their identity than one in CA
Well at least you donāt try to duck your odd beliefs. I find it very unfortunate that society embracing ideas like yours is resulting in prepubescent children concluding that they are trans. I
Trans activism targeting children is not about raising better children. It is about the adults seeking perverse validation through indoctrination, couched in false terms like compassion and tolerance.
All at the expense of kids who will believe anything because they donāt know any better.
He started the process then and didnāt have the surgery until after we graduated. I never had an issue with him or her before the change. We were always cordial. Last I heard he got a bad infection from the surgery and it went really bad from there.
I wouldnāt doubt that for a second. They are definitely more rare in my area. I know a lot of gay folks though. Never had a bad experience with any gay person personally.
I donāt think it is necessary - especially not in law school in Memphis.
Just curious, how many trans people do you know? I donāt know any personally, so I was just wondering.
How does he/she explain his/her dominance? Does he/she think that he/she has worked harder than every other female NCAA swimmer? I just donāt understand how he/she can really believe he/she doesnāt have a massive advantage.

I was in a club that brought me into contact with pretty much every openly trans person at my high school, so quite a few of them.
8, maybe? Sounds about right.
Yeah, this is flagrantly unfair, and the NCAA is spineless for letting it happen.

Iād guess she looks at it like any other physical advantage. I.e. Michael phelpsā giant ass hands and feet, Britney griner being taller and stronger than other women, etc.
She sees herself as a woman, and has God given abilities to swim faster than most other women.
Thatās my guess on the rationalization.
Probably, but just seems half baked when you were already swimming against men as a man and getting your ass kicked, so lets go kick some female ass as a biological male lolā¦
Wow. I know a lot of gay people, but no trans people. I attended 3 high schools, 4 colleges, and 1 law school, and have lived in 15 towns in 5 different states but donāt know a single trans person. Seems like SOMEONE would have popped up on Facebook or something, but no one has.

Iām living right outside of Washington DC at the moment, so itās pretty much a hotbed for this sort of stuff. Iām equally surprised that you havenāt ever met one, though.
Youāve been on this website longer than Iāve been alive, Jesus
