@GoWestEh @benroyce Why does it matter to you what people identify as?
My friend's child was born female, but as they approached puberty, identified as a male, and asked to be called by a traditionally male name.
Which is no different than someone saying "Don't call me Charles, my friends call me 'Chuck'."
How does someone asking you to use a different name affect you?
How does their choice of bathroom affect you?
How does their choice of clothing affect you?
How does their choice to take medication that helps them transition affect you?
The answer to all of those, for me at least, is "Not at all". None of those things have any impact or practical effect on my life. What is the affect on yours?

@JustinDerrick @benroyce Adults choices dont affect me. Adults choices that are being promoted to my children and grandchildren affect me a great deal and just as I wouldn't attempt to indoctrinate your children, I am very protective of mine.

How the fuck does a trans person living their lives affect your children or grandchildren?
Can you describe that "threat" coherently please?
Of course you can't
"Trans people exist" therefore... what?
Your grandchildren and children will become aware of their existence? Oh no!
Are you worried about "trans cooties"? Your relatives magically become trans because they are aware trans people exist?
Do you have the faintest clue how utterly deranged you sound?
