What fearmongering do you find laughably wrong? What do you witness everyday that makes others clutch their pearls while watching the news?

    The fear that trans people want to convert your children and diddle your wives. Meanwhile conservatives turn a blind eye to pastors and elected the king of child rap*sts to the highest office.

    I only laugh because it’s better than crying

      What’s crazy about it is literally nobody’s pressured to become trans, like, at all. Nobody wishes anyone to be trans because gender disphoria sucks.

      It’s literally just “feel free to express your gender however the fuck you want, you do you, and we’ll still respect you as-is”.

      Despite that, I never once thought about transitioning or being trans or fantasizing about growing a pair of boobs. As a cis man, looking like a women would just make me feel disphoric and want to be a man again ASAP. I never once felt pressured to transition either, and I hang out with a lot of very fruity people.

      This idea that it’s contagious and gives bad thoughts to people is just plain wrong, nobody becomes trans that weren’t trans already.

        That’s how being trans felt before transition for myself (that was over 10yrs ago)

        To add, we’re already at higher risk of violence just by means of being trans. Why would someone pretend to be trans to “prey” on women in a country where sexual predators are treated better than trans people?
