Actually, [b]if you at all believe in science, some things are relatively simple, because they are stated facts[/b]. Please don't tell me that I also have to convince you that climate change is real, or perhaps evolution? Are you making up your own facts there, too?

Correct. But according to science, the relationships between chromosomes, genitalia, sex, and gender are actually not simple. Some of us like to believe that they are, but the fact is that they're not.[/quote]

+1 and op of this comment and others, you ended your own argument when you said no one gets to tell you what you think. You don't get to tell trans* people what to think and what it means for them either. So I guess we all agree on something! Case closed.[/quote]

Do I "get to tell you" that it's not going to be 90 degrees and sunny outside today?  Or that 2 x 3 does not equal 15, no matter how much you wish it did? Or are you going to dispute those fact as well?[/quote]

No, just like I don't get to tell you that your feelings about yourself are false, or that you're not dressed properly, or that people think you're hideous. See how that works? You stay in your lane, and I'll stay in mine. Your calling things facts don't make them so, you do realize that, right? Wait, I'm sorry, I forgot. For people like you things are ONLY black or white, there are no shades of gray. Simple, simple person. [/quote]

Big difference. Those things are not facts, merely your opinion.  There are plenty of "facts" in this world. That you choose to deny reality is your personal little problem, but it doesn't change science -- biology, geology, math and so much more.[/quote]

And one fact in the world is that trans people are MUCH more likely to be the victims of crimes in a bathroom than to commit crimes against non-trans people. What is not a fact is that this silly law is going to prevent bathroom crimes.  In fact it will probably lead to more attacks against trans women by men who are angry to see them in their bathrooms.

Then here's an idea. Maybe women shouldn't go around dressed as men, and vice versus, and expect everyone else, including violent crazies, to just look always?  If I decide to paint my body purple and run naked through a shopping mall skipping and singing, am I really to be surprised that some look at me askance and perhaps try to chase me down with the proverbial butterfly net?[/quote]
Well...yes. You do you. If your painting your body purple and singing isn't harming yourself, me, or anyone else around us, who cares?[/quote]

I tell you what. You stay in your Ritalin-Zoloft-pot induced state of denial-- what problems? I don't see any problems, no sir.ee, nothing unusual at all-- and the rest of us who are slightly more engaged in the world around us will continue to live our lives as well. Ok?[/quote]
