It seems quite straightforward to me that everything under the sun in terms of possibilities has to either be accepted if it can happen or rejected if someone wants to hold onto a more rigid gender binary framework.
It rubs me the wrong way, that people can find no contradiction in cheering on what Caitlyn Jenner did but not Rachel Dolezal.

Far from my intentions being bad, it was a genuine discussion point for me and question.
Are these posts bait-y/troll-y? It just seems needlessly provocative and also, despite claims to the contrary, intentionally so.
Thanks for addressing this either way! Love you, mods!
