[QUOTE="Dove, post: 307431, member: 535"] If someone wants to do that they should be able to. I strongly stand for civil liberty. I just dont want to have to be involved on any level like being forced to teach my kids it's normal like any other thing when gender dysphoria is a valid mental illness. ALSO people with mental illness are not less then nor do they deserve less human compassion and respect.....before you assume everyone hates mentally ill people. I suffer PTSD.....that's not normal either. I don't want to have to spend tax dollars on it either. My broke ass needs my own money for my own problems. I was just pondering why someone would go through all that stressful physical change to be the gender they identify with and then do something that is physically exclusive to their biological gender. Did I type that out right? Bleh. That being said I have zero problem using someone's preferred pronouns. They are aware they are trans.....its not some delusion and I'm not gonna make another person feel like shit over something like this. If you come to me as a female I'll likely treat you like one. I think I would have a harder time with a seeing a transman as a male or treating them as a male. That's more an ingrained tenderness I have towards other women. I would struggle to "get there" more than I do for transwomen. This is assuming I even know. [/QUOTE]
