regarding self IDâŚsorry but why would you WANT anyone to go through years of discrimination and be forced to get certain surgeries (that carry risk like any surgery and may not be right for that person) just to be considered valid?
No man has ever had to self identify as trans to go into a restroom and assault somone
Don't 100% remember what this ask was talking about but...
It previously wasn't considered socially acceptable for a male (who hadn't done anything medical to transition) to go into women's bathrooms. Now, a lot of places have a culture of "do you think that person doesn't belong in your bathroom? Mind your own business" & it's a lot more socially acceptable for any old male who isn't even transgender to enter women's bathrooms, because you're not supposed to question who's in the bathroom. How can you tell the difference between a genuine non-passing trans woman who's just in there because of a need to pee and a cis man who's in there because he's a voyeur?
Also like... if you don't want to get medical transition and surgeries, just don't? Nobody is forcing you. I am fine with people dressing however they want regardless of anything about their body, as long as it covers up the important bits. Rad-aligned people in fact typically don't agree with people getting cosmetic surgery unless it's to do something like fix chemical burn scars that are causing severe issues. But if you don't do anything to even attempt to get secondary sex characteristics resembling your desired sex, nobody outside of very specific circles is going to accept you as equivalent to a member of that sex. It's probably difficult to hear, but it's true.
