The assertion that cis people are physically incapable of understanding trans people...Eeeeeeh.
Also, a decent portion of those statements are unequivocally supportive as written, then mutilated.
E:Wait, cis people might miss nuance? Oh, yep. Makes sense.
I didn't say physically incapable. Some perhaps are, but it was more of a psychological thing I was referring to.
For example, there are trans people who go full bore for the post-op stuff and some that are happy to identify as the opposite gender of their sex without surgery, while they're both referred to as trans. I don't understand this (meaning I exist in a position of ignorance through lack of knowledge, and don't have an informed opinion, so I pretty much don't have one beyond "huh?")
Even the concept of being trans is difficult for me, personally, again through the lack of knowledge/being ignorant/no informed opinion. While I like to think I'm quite an empathic person, I'm also pragmatic; aesthetics have never really bothered me, so... it's hard for me to put myself in the position of someone to which aesthetics appears to be
* quite important. Also being comfortably cis probably makes it difficult. It's apparently quite difficult to explain succinctly, sorry.
The fact that it's also lumped into the sexuality argument (LGB
T) is... weird too. Being trans isn't a sexual preference... is it?
*an observation, rather than THIS IS HOW IT FUCKING IS GUYS
