    I don't think you're really trying to understand others you find opposition to. I think you're talking to mostly 50 to 60+ year old men with nostalgia over 93'-95' years because they're Rockets fans. You're not exactly reaching across the aisle to the very people you're trying to understand. You're creating threads centered around transgender people catered to the exact demographic I already described as though they are the unified voice on behalf of the entire transgendered community. Mostly 50 to 60+ year old straight men who can probably crank out stats of Dream and Glides U of H days while drunk in public, but probably don't have the faintest idea of what a trans person really thinks and experiences day in and day out beyond the social media content that they consume and is presented a certain way about this particular topic.

    I think if you really wanted to understand beyond the scope of opinions shared by mostly 50 to 60+ year old straight men, you'd seek out trans support websites, read trans author books, journals and blogs, lurk online forums where trans people frequently post in their own iterations of the Hangout section, if only to understand what the issues are within that particular community without being a trolly creep about it, which again wouldn't be a fully unified voice on behalf of the entire transgender community. That, to me, would be making a genuine effort to understand perspectives you're not at all comfortable or familiar with.

    Chances are trans BBS Hangout forums are people probably talking about whether the 93'-94' Rockets could beat the 94'-95' Rockets in a best of 7 with interjections from trans Spurs fans that say the late 90s to early 2000s Spurs could have taken both teams which I think we can all agree is absurd.

    When have I voiced opposition to any of the transgender discussions?

    Actually, this thread is not intended to be about transgender in specific, but about peoples' perspectives about the social acceptance of different trans types.

    I created this thread to intentionally ask mostly-non-trans people how they feel about social acceptance and adjustment for different types of trans people (including transracial and transspecies). The primary purpose of this thread is not to directly ask trans people how they feel.

    Yeah - you've levied the "50 to 60+ year old straight men" thing and the "nostalgia over 93'-95' years" thing multiple times (in one post). Maybe you should say it 10 or 11 more times more. Just hit ctrl-c and ctrl-v.

    This is a ridiculous conversation topic, but not too much, so..

    You can't say you'd never meow at a person if that person believes he's a cat and asks you to meow at them? o_O

    Supertroopers had a hilarious opening scene about saying meow, but that was for laughs.



    :D

    Anyway, I called people soft, spineless in one of these threads because their attitude amounted to everything goes.

    The attitude is why the hell not instead of why. Why not, do whatever you want... that is just so weak. Why seeks a purpose and forces a person to find that purpose. Why not is for children.

    It's also the type of attitude that deletes the word normal from existence. I mean, would you consider a person that believes he's a cat abnormal?

    Imagine all these girls working hard as hell to compete in these sports only for some dude to come and kick their asses without even trying. Their opportunities to achieve something is literally being stolen from them.....
