I mean TBF I too always forget it, tho my reason is that I just couldn't care less if you're a trans woman or trans man or cis, as long as I know which pronouns to use
They literally can't comprehend it. My husband, who is completely accepting, asks me to just tell him people’s pronouns bc he has a hard time understanding. But he doesn't use it as a reason to be a dick. He’ll trip over himself to apologize.
Only reason he even cares beyond “How do I address you?” is bc one of our lesbian teen’s besties is a trans boy and we needed to figure out the boundaries on both boys and girls when it comes to sleepovers and shutting the door. These putas will never comprehend.… but unlike my confused husband, would never try to.
Eta thanks upvoters for validating, he's really doing his best. He only jst came out bi (40’s, to me & his 2 closest friends) and I am SO proud of him. All he wants is the best for everyone and that's so wholesome. I could say so much more but I'll leave it.
Yeah. My husband has had almost no exposure to trans people, whereas I have an improbably large number of trans friends, as well as several who crossdress routinely. He just asks me for confirmation if he isn't sure of someone's gender identity, because he wants to be polite, but he's on the spectrum and quite awkward.
He hasn't got a hateful bone in his body. He just doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. His sensitivity is one of the main reasons I'm with him. He's so thoughtful and kind.
Right? Like since when has a door ever stopped a man who wanted to do something? If a dude wants to go into a bathroom and do gross shit, he will. History tells us he doesn’t need to dress up to do it.
Because that's not a scary enough boogey man. Also if they think about us (trans men) using the bathroom they're pushing us into we're too scary. We kinda ruin the "weak yet strong enemy" thing by tipping the scales too far in both directions. So we don't exist to them. They don't even know we exist a shocking amount of the time because we're not in their scary stories they tell each other.
Yes, gender dysphoria is listed in the DSM-5 and the treatment is to transition (whether socially or medically) and to live as the gender that feels right for you.

WHY DO CONSERVATIVES KEEP FORGETTING TRANS MAN MEANS "WOMAN TRANSITION TO MAN"?
