On the issue of bathrooms..find the whole thing confusing. A trans man (a woman transitioning to be a man) at work uses women’s bathroom. He looks like a man, albeit a very short one. Has a goatee and a mustache. Why still use women’s bathroom? Makes me very uncomfortable because he looks like your average (very short) man.

Bathrooms for trans people are incredibly fraught and complicated. My spouse is trans, very recently started transitioning, and he makes a case by case decision. Largely at this time, that means using women's rooms, which triggers some dysphoria, but less than being confronted using a men's room. Sometimes, if he feels like the situation is safer, he'll use a men's room. Generally, we all need to spend a lot less time policing who is or isn't in the bathroom with us; some people are fighting real personal battles over which bathroom to use and we should respect whatever decision they make.

Do you have kids?

I’m sure it’s tough for your spouse, but can you also see that it might be tough for parents of teen girls? Maybe parents of teen and tween girls are not comfortable with the idea of ‘young men who identify themselves as female’ being in the school bathrooms with them?

Biologically, she is still a woman or female, with XX sex chromosome. Being understanding.

Why are boys who feel like girls "really girls"? Why aren't they really boys who don't feel the way society says stereotypical boys feel? I seriously don't get this issue. I don't think it's liberal or accepting to have a boy cut off his penis because he doesn't think he feels like a 'real' boy on the inside. Bizarre.
It's especially nonsensical for children, who are thinking and feeling all kinds of crazy stuff until the dust settles.

I wanted a tail when I was a kid. Should I have demanded I be treated like a monkey?

Good news! There can! And there can ALSO be people who are transgender or non-binary.

You really think there are people who are somehow really girls born in “boy bodies” and vice versa? Really?

Of course! I grew up with one in a very small town, and I'm in my forties.

Or maybe he was an effeminate gay man?

Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. Whatever he was, he was a boy. And whoever he was on the inside should be okay for a boy. It doesn't make him really a girl.

It must be really, really frustrating to constantly be yelling at people that they're being themselves wrong.

First of all, I'm not yelling. Second, yes, I think cutting off body parts and taking hormones is not being yourself, by definition.

Clap clap clap

Most of them are humanity major, I guess. 99.9% people have either XX or XY chromosomes. The toilets are designed based on how one urinate.

Some sex organs ate developed before birth and others are matured as the kids grow to 9 to 10 years old. There are less than .1% people born with abnormal sex chromosomes.

liberals think that sex and gender are different and you can pick your gender. They also now are saying sex and gender are the same and you are a bigot if you believe in chromosomes or that “Caitlyn Jenner was born male”
