Yeah, most folks who claim to be full on Gender Abolitionists are really just using that guise to cover for being TERFs, as in "Trans people shouldn't be recognized because abolish gender!"

    As a straight, white, born male, I never understand how people can get so upset about a stranger, who means nothing to them, just because they use different pronouns.

    Like, you're gonna be dead within the next 50 years. Why do you care so much about someone you'll forget in less than a day? Why belittle them just because they want to be happy in themselves?

    I can understand it if you were in a serious relationship with someone, and they realised they wanted to be a different gender. Especially if you're fully straight. Then they became a man or woman, I'm sure it'd be very hard to cope with. From both people. But in the context of people that have absolutely no impact on you? Why do you care so much?

    We're all on a dead rock floating through space, with the only guarantee in life being death. Fuck off. Calm down. Have a pint. It's ain't that deep.

    I've heard people say "I'm worried for their health!" or "They're hurting / destroying their body!" or shit nonsense.

    Yeah. People smoke, drink, do drugs, get tattoos, and fucking whatever. I'd roundhouse-kick someone to the face if they decided that they get to have a say in what I do with my body. Fuck off and mind your own damn business.

    Even if you're a """concerned family member""", you still don't get a fucking say in how I choose to conduct my private life.

    I'm not trans, but holy shit, simply existing for those folks sounds goddamn exhausting. I'll fight for & support their right to be left the fuck alone.
