Welcome to Tumblr.

I know people sometimes feel like they're of the wrong sex, but it's gotten to the point where it's the cool thing to be.

You can't know for a fact whether or not someone is truly trans - so it's best to act as though they are. If you did the opposite and treated everyone like they're "fakers trying to be cool", then you risk severely hurting someone.

I like to think that it leaves the impression that "I'm not here to entertain you."

You cannot win if you let someone control how you feel when that's exactly what they want. Shut them down, kill their buzz and move on. If that's not something you can do, then I guess we're on different wavelengths.

i wish i could do this, honestly. maybe you could give me advice sometime? i get anon hate sometimes and i feel the need to retaliate because im hurt. would you suggest deleting the message from my inbox and pretending i didnt get it as opposed to responding and giving them that "satisfaction"?

THIS THREAD IS TURNING INTO A HUGE ARGUMENT AND I DON'T LIKE IT

@Shiro
I said in the OP that if you think this thread is stupid, please keep it to yourself.
I was curious about a psychological side to the subject.

No... I don't see any arguments.

Hmm, isn't that that city slicker fad? I don't think it occurs naturally in the wilderness. Or does it?

No, and I don't appreciate your "humor".

I'm being honest! I don't know much about it. I've never met any body like that.

It doesn't? Maybe I shouldn't have slept through sex ed ?_?

stop stop stop stop

OK

gender is a mental thing. whether or not you're a man is completely wired in your brain. your body doesn't determine that. sex and gender are two entirely different things. theres plenty of places where you can read up on this, just google ****, man

its common misconception that sex and gender are the same thing and that your body determines your gender. this is infact very false, but this is not the place to talk about this AT ALL and you should really just google **** and read up on trans people and stuff like that. im one myself and saying your sex determines your gender is p offensive to me, and its offensive to mephisto as well, and any trans person ever

dammit now im sad

reindeer i thought u were cool ):

i dont think im the wrong sex, i know im a man. my sex has nothing to do with my gender, and trans people dont exclusively exist on tumblr?? theres even actual science evidence that gender identity IS something wired in your brain and your body/the way you were brought up really has nothing to do with it?

THIS THREAD WAS NEVER ABOUT TRANSPHOBIA HOLY **** how did this happen

beary, this is what i meant. this is exactly what i meant when i said it didnt serve a purpose. because i saw this coming.

you see, the reason i said that is because, oftentimes, "complaining about complainers" is just as bad, if you get my meaning? by this, i mean, it stirs the pot. and the pot is being stirred. you make valid points, but i am telling you, this is exactly what i predicted.

Now would be a good time to brush up on your Googling, rather than making dismissive comments about it then, don't you think?

Honestly, you could have, but you just didn't realize it. I mean, in their daily lives, trans people don't go around exclaiming how they're trans - in fact, most hide that fact, for safety reasons.

If you predicted it, you should've said something in the first place. Then I would've had it closed before anything happened.

HOLY **** this is blowing out of control

That's exactly why I made it.

Without arguments we would still think the world is flat.

Closing thread.
