[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't agree with transgender; however, I appreciate your openness in this thread and I feel that I've learned something. Thank you.[/quote]

Not OP. I don't really understand what people mean when they say they "don't agree" with someone else's gender identity or the way it's expressed. There's nothing to agree with. Are you trying to say that you do not believe that anyone can truly be transgender? Are you trying to say that you do not support transgender rights?[/quote]

Some people don't agree when people dress up like goths or have 19 children either. You don't have to agree with every choice another person makes to support their right to live how they want.[/quote]

I just do not understand the use of the term "agree." It seems that what you mean is "approve." [/quote]

Agree: have the same opinion about something; concur. The pp doesn't agree with the opinions surrounding transgender. Not that hard to figure out.[/quote]

There are no "opinions about transgender." It's like gravity - it exists whether your opinion coincides with its existence or not. [/quote]

PP who was asking about the terminology: I agree with this statement.

I don't understand how someone can agree or disagree with someone else's experience of their own gender. Say, "No, you don't feel like a woman, I disagree with your feelings"? Say, "I do not believe that you really have those feelings?"

I get that people think that transgender people have many issues, are maladjusted, need to get over themselves, or whatever, but I have never understood how someone can hear someone else's sincere experience of their own lives and say, "I don't agree."[/quote]
