A big part of society are transphobic but they think they aren't as long as they don't physically attack trans people

Do you actually know anything about raising children? 🤔 also you do realize that it depends on the child, their age, and whether they really are sincere in their wish to identify as the opposite gender?Children are highly underdeveloped and it is a fact that we don't stop maturing until mid to late twenties, which means people my age even have some years to go until their brains are no longer developing. If our brains do not stop developing until mid to late twenties, how is it appropriate to allow children younger than the age of 18 to decide to change their gender, even going to extreme physical lengths to do so? If you're interested to know, an extreme physical length would be having hormone therapy (very dangerous when you are a youth) and surgery, which is potentially very dangerous to anyone. Many transgendered individuals regret their surgery because they find it has taken the "joy" out of identifying as the opposite gender and introduced them to the realities of physically adopting a new one. A few or some women would say that it's not easy being a woman, but many biological men would say that it's physically and mentally painful to become and live as one. People are so blind to the medical realities of transitioning...it's disturbing and ignorant.

Any good parent will know that they should always empathize with their children. However, one of the most important components to parenting is responsibility. You have to be responsible, sensible, and provide your child with appropriate guidance...submitting to their every whim and not questioning them when necessary is absolutely NOT that. This is how we create spoiled and overindulged children who lack responsibility in life, and who will never come to properly understand discipline and boundaries.

To summarize, if adults wish to transition, that is their decision. Children can't transition and that is something those on the progressive left will have to come to accept. Similarly, you shouldn't be encouraging children to toy with ideas around gender identity and changing one's gender.

You can’t regulate someone’s ideas or feelings… been tried before without good results. Read and understand later part of last century .
what personal issues that a child might be having is between the CHILD and their parents. Nobody else unless the parents decide to seek additional assistance ( obviously within guidelines of the child’s safety)

In the real world, most trans people do not get bothered if they are just trying to blend into everyday society. I think a lot of the ones who do face problems are the "loud and proud" ones.

I am kind of on the fence about trans kids issues though.

I do not think having drag queens going to schools to entertain, even if it is clean, reflects well on the trans community. I do not know why anyone thought that was a good idea.

I do think if someone is going to physically transition young, it would probably be best to wait a couple years from the time they "come out" instead of rushing. Plenty of counseling and living the part without medical procedures.

There is a rock and a hard place though for the young ones -
If they do it too soon and later decide it wasn't right, the damage is done.
If they wait too long and develop secondary s3x characteristics, it is much harder, if not impossible, to change things.

The only good part about the second scenario is that trans is slowly becoming more accepted, even with the recent set backs. So eventually it may not even matter if they pass as their chosen gender or not.
But time will tell.

I humbly disagree. To use "phobic" at the end is to say there is a fear. Many times there is no fear of something like trans, but in fact just out right bigotry. So the best course of action is to not blanket everything as transphobic, but cautiously find the underlying reason for the opposition and call it what it is. If there is fear, then call it Transphobic, if it is a hate, then call it bigotry, if it is a religious belief, then explain that no one can force their religious beliefs on anyone else. IMHO of course.

I see where you are coming from but don't agree with this because the accusation of 'transphobia' is applied so loosely and frequently... I am not transphobic, but have questions/opinions that would be labelled as such.

'fact is its transphobia to be against trans rights'

By virtue of being 'trans', what rights does that entitle someone to, beyond the basic human rights we all have? I would argue against the 'right' of a person who identifies as a different gender automatically and without question taking on the sex based rights of (in the case of a transwomen) people born female. For example, taking part in sport 'as that gender'. Disagreement is not the same as hate. It isn't a case of 'you have to be entirely, 100% behind us or else you're entirely, 100% against us'.

is it transphobic to be against children being chemically sterilized and operated on when healthy? I will gladly take that transphobic label if thats the case.
We dont let children drink, smoke, get tattoos and so on but its now abuse not to let them get all sorts of unnecessary medical changes done to them?
yeah dont think so.
In my book that is straight up abuse

I believe everyone is entitled to live in whichever way makes them feel happy. Providing it isn't harming anyone else.
Now everyone is entitled to an opinion. No-one has to agree with it.
I do however think that the world has gone completely mad regarding the trans community, different genders etc.
Biologically, if you're born as either a male or female you are still biologically either that, male or female.
If people choose to live as the opposite sex then fine, that's entirely their choice and they should do what makes them happy.
There is though only two genders.
People's sexuality is their business.
I find both men and women attractive but choose to be heterosexual. It's a choice.
People's attitudes are divided, how many handle things can be questionable and not always very PC.
Hate is never acceptable, and my belief is no-one should force their views, but still be accepting of how others wish to live, if it isn't harming anyone else.

Phobia is a mental disorder diagnosed by psychologists, it is not something you just call anyone who disagrees with your decisions. We're not transphobic, we just don't like it.

Here’s a question for you how come straight people don’t go around telling everyone they’re straight. It’s because it’s nobody’s business what you do in the bedroom of your own home with whoever you’re with is only in your business. I would be just as outraged if someone walked over that’s waiting on me for dinner and told me they’re straight I don’t care. Why do trans people in LGBT community mostly trans though why do they want to go around telling everyone I’m trans when people don’t care.

To not understand something that is a relatively new conversation in one’s social culture is not necessarily "phobic", as long as one’s willing to listen. What is difficult is to not know and then be immediately labeled "transphobic" for not understanding or for even asking questions.

The true intention is probably to help, but fact is its transphobia to be against trans rights. Such rights as if your teenage child say they are trans, you dismissing it as a phase or immaturity, is transphobic. Whether you like it or not. It's classified as transphobic.

You can "classify" it all you want. It's a mental health issues. There's many who are regretting their actions, some quit life, others try to pick up something of a normal life, alone,

Why do so many trans people say they give great blowjobs

Live and let live people

From what ive been seeing, people would only accept trans people that are attractive 🙃
