    Curious to what your second and third paragraph is referring to. As for the fourth- is there a possibility of that? I see an obsession online with “egg culture” and people fetishizing femboys at time and flirting with themselves. Also the infamous Chris Chan case (although I would be among the first to call out that using Chris Chan as a model for all trans people is MASSIVELY disingenuous.)

    I feel like it’s a topic that requires a lot of research. I find my opinion constantly shifting (although I think as well, opinions aren’t necessarily important anyway, we should be legislating on statistically what is best for woman’s safety and transgender people’s mental health. But we shouldn’t be enforcing that people must hold certain opinions either)

    Starting to think that maybe people from all sides should drop their pitchforks, accept that opinions may differ and it’s okay to feel differently about the subject, but then actually write laws that benefit and keep everyone safe and mentally healthy based on statistics.

      We have to draw a line when some people’s opinion is that some other people shouldn’t exist.

        That is true if it’s what they’re actually stating, but some would do mental gymnastics to claim that “if you don’t 100% agree with me, you’re claiming some people shouldn’t exist”
