Think they’re something they’re not
Here’s the problem. Gay men aren’t attracted to men. It’s just a phase. A choice.
Is that what you’re saying?
The trouble is that understanding transgender people is harder than understanding sexual desire. A number of structural MRI studies have reported that, on average, certain brain features in transgender people may resemble those of the gender with which they identify more than those of their sex assigned at birth. This suggests that the concept of having the brain of a gender that is not your body is somewhat of a possibility. Of course, These kind of studies are few and far between. But the lack of those studies does not mean there is no evidence to support it.
I find a lot of this comes down to one thing: why the fuck do you care? This is something going on with another person‘s body. I believe that everyone should stay out of it. There is a small group of psychologically damaged people who try to push against anything that is different from them. These people have been very vocal about seducing people to their way of thinking. They are able to even seduce gays and lesbians into thinking that transgender is something they should fight against.
I think in 100 years, society will be looking back on this with as much disgust as we look back on burning witches, and denying same-sex marriage.
So I have another question for you: do you discriminate against transgender people? Discrimination would be voting for something that would deny them rights. Or, do you feel that you can’t discriminate against them because they don’t actually exist? Which is exactly what they used against homosexual people. Calling it a choice.
