Your opinion of transgender people

[Tavok]

I don't understand why people care so much how other people define themselves. Until the use of tax money comes into question, there is no conceivable issue whatsoever.

Fuzzy handcuffs? Wouldn't leather and velcro straps serve you better?

But men in dresses! Women in tanks! Children with open minds!

When I was younger I frowned upon Gay people and Transgender. Now I've reached a point where I just don't really care anymore. I am supportive of gay rights and I would support a transgender person if I knew one. Let's just all get along.

But who would feed us men?

[Zottistan]

I'm going to stop using those words. From now on, biologically male/female and psychologically man/woman/whatever else you may be.

We are all people here!

We can still categorize people without taking away from personhood.

Dear god... will I have to make my own dinner?

You will.

We could, but I don't really agree with all the categorization, because with all of the categorization come labels and boxes.

You must return to the old ways of slim jims and vendor hotdogs.

Yes sweetie. Now get right on it.

Isn't that why microwaves were invented? Just put it in, push a button, food.

I think "gender" is a useless term because if you're a woman, everything you do is by definition feminine and so on so fourth, so I'm not sure I believe transgender people exist.

I have no problem with someone choosing to change their appearance, and I have no problem with someone identifying as a women. But I think that this notion that gender doesn't matter and that men and women are fundamentally the same is quite dangerous and factually wrong.

Women and men are very different psychologically because we have different brain structures, male brains are 10% bigger and have 4% more brain cells, but women have more cellular connections which allow quicker speed of thought and problem solving. Men have four times as much grey matter and women have ten times as much white matter. Men predominantly use the left hemisphere of the brain which is based in rationality, but women have a bigger corpus callosum which means that they transfer data between the two hemispheres more easily and are thus more in touch with the right side of their brain that is responsible for both art and communication.

This means that men and women are fundamentally different, women have evolved neurologically to be better communicators, and men have a greater capacity for rationality and are more detached from their emotions, they also (due to a lesser ability to communicate) tend to think in terms of themselves rather than the group.

Both of these skill sets seem equal, I am in no way trying to suggest either male or female superiority but I am trying to show male and female difference. You can change how you look all you like but inside where it counts-inside of your mind, you will always think like and be your original gender.

Does that matter and should it effect someone's choice in changing their appearance? Ofc not, people must be free to alter their bodies however they wish, but they shouldn't delude themselves into thinking that they have changed their gender. It just isn't true, it isn't transgenderism I have a problem with, it's self-delusion I don't like.

Hello, Stove, Microwave, Oven, Refrigerator, Kitchen Sink, and Pantry.

I'm going to kill all of you.

I keep beginning to understand this and then losing it.

The solution to people being stupid isn't dumb down our practices. People not being able to distinguish between a characteristic and a stereotype is a fault with people, not categorization.

I'm not sure where you're losing it so I don't know what I can do about that.
