Thanks for answering
I've tried asking similar questions before but no one ever seems willing to answer.
1. Yeah, I know the definition. I guess I wanted to know specifically what it means to you.
2. How do you know that you are a specific gender? I understand that some people have a condition called gender dysphoria but how does that make you something else (I've seen the brain scan studies, but they were done after the participants had already taken cross-sex hormones)? Also, seeing as the suicide rate doesn't really change post-transition, do you believe that hormones and surgery are always the best thing to offer to a person with dysphoria?
3. I disagree with you, but respect your opinion. I definitely do not believe that all trans people are predators or anything, however self-identification has been misused on numerous occasions. I think people should have to go through a lengthy process to be legally recognised as a member of the opposite sex. Agree to disagree though.
4. Fair enough. I was asking because the majority of "non binary" people I've seen are left-wing. I agree to some extent that LGBT rights aren't/shouldn't be a political issue, however it is mostly left-wing groups pushing to have these issues taught in schools. What is your opinion on adding LGBT lessons to the curriculum?
5. (Extra question, if you don't mind). Do you think people should be forced to use someone's "preferred pronouns"? Although I probably would use someone's pronouns to be polite, I don't think anyone should be compelled to do so - and I certainly don't believe that not using certain pronouns is an "act of violence" or requires legal repercussions.
Also, just in case I come across as such, I'm not trying to be inflammatory or anything. I'm just genuinely curious as to what your opinions are. I support LGBT rights - marriage, adoption, being able to do everything that other people can etc. But I do take issue with some of the "agenda" (probably not the correct term, but you get the gist).
