    Of course you’ll have a better time talking about gender with other gender enthusiasts. It’s like complaining about how normies can’t have a conversation with you about cars for as long as car enthusiasts could.

      ‘Gender enthusiasts’ is probably my second favorite euphemism for trans people now. The first being from an old lady who was trying to politely ask if a woman was trans and asked if she was “a woman by choice” 😂

        I rather like the sound of “a woman by choice”, since it implies she is a woman, that it is a choice, and that the choice does apply. I’d be curious to hear opinions from trans people about that, but it seems very respectful.

        Is it really a euphemism? A trans person inherently has to care deeply about their gender, whereas a large amount of the cis population is sorta just like “well it’s easiest to vaguely conform to these societal expectations” and not like, hyper masculine/feminine.
