Now i get to share an unpopular opinion 😛

I can't be the only one who thinks this way, but some people make a bigger thing out of transgenderism than need be. Dont get me wrong, I am in full support of the LGBTQ+ community, and I understand where people are coming from with the whole biological sex is different from gender argument. I support that view and think that people should be able to identify with whichever gender they want. But the thing i take issue with is people crying about pronouns and emphasizing "identity", or people believing that their [i]biological sex[/i] is now different because they're trans or nonbinary. If someone calls me by the wrong pronouns, so fucking what? It wont bother me because I know what I am and if they dont get that, their loss. It's not "hate speech" if someone misgenders you. It's a dick move, sure, and you're inconsiderate if you do that, but it's not [i]hate speech[/i]. People lose sight of what those words really mean and try to apply it to their own meaningless problems in comparison to the rest of the world. Its ridiculous

While I do agree with you on certain aspects of it. There are certain things I dislike about it and things I want someone from that community to explain to me. The one thing I think that some people should keep in mind when changing genders is to do it while you're still young & your body is changing and not later in life.

What I want to know this kind of goes hand & hand: Like what kind o pronouns am I suppose to use when I want to talk about their past? Cause I feel like I have to use their old name to understand their past life. Am I suppose to stick with the new pronouns that you want or am I suppose to use the ones that represent your old life. Am I safe when I talk to a transgirl & her life as a boy and use male pronouns & vice versa?

@SW-User usually, trans people tend to see their gender as something that always was, but their perception of it changes. So, maybe a trans girl thought that she was a boy before, but now her idea of her gender has adapted. And it may change later in life to. Maybe later on theyd feel more comfortable with a nonbinary gender identity. Typically, it's good etiquette to refer to a trans person by their currently preferred pronouns and name, whether in past, present, or future tense

Okay. That makes more sense. This is something that has always bothered me.
