        I don’t understand how it’s transphobia. When you’re trans you’re just changing from one gender to the other M->F or F->M, right? How does this conflict with thta notion?

          There are non-binary people too. Being bigoted towards them is generally called transphobia, though maybe nb-phobia would be more accurate.

          Edit: also this is usually trying to claim that sex = gender so is transphobic from that perspective as well.

                Is it? Or you’re just making the problem worse?

                A person should feel good about how was born, gender and all. Like to fuck men, women? Who cares, but your identity, gender it’s what defines you. There are things in nature you can’t change.

                  Yes and no, respectively.

                  A person should feel good about how [they] was born

                  Ideally, sure, but that’s not always possible and telling people that they’re not allowed to be trans doesn’t stop them from being trans, it only alienates them.

                    Yes, that’s why some argue they should get psychological care not invasive and dangerous procedures.

                    Of course saying this publicly nowadays gets you censored or even worse, cancelled.
