if thats the case then i probably couldn't be friends with someone who takes their transgender too seriously

That's also fair, since you can associate with whoever you want. But I have to ask whether 'taking gender seriously' is actually unrelatable to you.

If you were in some kind of weird Twilight Zone kind of fiasco, and everyone all of a sudden started calling you a she, would you honestly just shrug it off?

(i'm not him but i would)

If you say so, but most people who are born into that kind of situation don't just shrug it off. At least not for their entire life.

i dont understand where your getting at but i mean if every other guy was still "he" but im being called a "she" yeah that would upset me because i'm physically a dude.

If you are male/female I guess you would expect to called so

[The Resonte!]

If you are male/female I guess you would expect to called so

as in, if you wake up someday in twilight zone fashion and
everyone calls you by the pronouns opposite of your love gender (if you're male everyone is calling you a "she")

You don't understand what I'm getting at here? What if everyone also expects you to start wearing female clothes and the like? Are you telling me that your own gender expression wouldn't take a pretty big priority in your life at that point?

If you are male/female I guess you would expect to called so

I don't actually have any problem with presuming that people's identities will match their love. It works for the vast majority of people, and the only other alternative is the super New Age-y, SJW approach to parenting that tries to paint all children as gender-neutral by default. No thanks.

idk if i can blame people for not understanding trans stuff in general because that's the status quo. unless you experience it yourself or you know someone who experiences it, i don't think it's very easy to actually get what it's like or why that's the way people are. it's hard for me to imagine, but clearly a lot of people have the traditional view of things so deeply ingrained that it's legitimately difficult to actually understand and i can get that. maybe some people call that common sense but it's not a completely irrational situation, it's just what they know. my only issue is when people try to assert themselves over others without trying to understand each other, and that's a general human problem that can apply to both sides

I thought gender was a social construct

I thought gender was a social construct

Where did he imply that it wasn't?

The usual feel I get is that gender is """""a social construct""""" so I can change it when ever I want
