Yeah I think I miss read your comment as saying you wanted it lgb… my bad I assumed something and didn’t fully read what ya said…my comment is deleted somehow wish it was still up anyhoo I’m super confused on the nuance on this because ive never heard any transgender or transsexual person in my life not support the other or say they dont exist but Ive only had a handful in my life at different times so you probably know more about the community… just be supportive and accepting and your alright in my book… and honestly Ive never once heard what you are saying come out of any transgender or transsexual friends mouths your the first Ive heard of it… very confused on why someone would say you don’t exist cause you do
Well I’m pretty careful when I use the acronym. Personally I consider myself, and support “LGBT”. There’s an “LGB” movement that I find myself aligned with, albeit disagreeing with. Then there are the people who use “LGBTQ” or “LGBTQIA” and other such things, and I find myself opposed to them.
ive never heard any transgender or transsexual person in my life not support the other or say they dont exist but Ive only had a handful in my life at different times so you probably know more about the community… just be supportive and accepting and your alright in my book.
Yes, it’s unfortunately the case that on this topic there’s a few different worldviews/beliefs and they contradict each other, which leads to a lot of hostility and upset feelings in both directions. I agree that we should try to be kind, understanding, and supportive. But to do that means I need to disagree with some worldviews that may end up hurting some people’s feelings.

The issue is because many people with transvestism conditions identify themselves as “transgender” and hold the belief that they have a “gender identity” that differs from their natal sex. In many cases they argue that this is due to having an oppositely sexed brain. The problem is that that view is simply untrue. There are sexed brains, and there are people with oppositely sexed brains, but that condition is transsexualism, not transvestism. And so these transgender/transvestite people try to argue it applies to them, and then deny that people outside of their situation (namely transsexuals) exist.
One of their big ideas involves “gender dysphoria”. They believe that gender dysphoria arises due to the sex of the brain differing from the sex of the body, and thus dysphoria results. However, transsexuals like myself prove this to be untrue; as we do not experience “gender dysphoria” (or any other transvestism symptom) at any point.
Due to this, these people often start saying I’m “not actually trans” or that I’m “being a bigot” or that I “actually do have such symptoms and am lying/mistaken” and so on. a very hostile response.
I’d really like there to be some mutual understanding and arrival of views, but I don’t think it’s likely the way things are going…
