It's because of the society most all Americans grew up in. Gods society, Adam and Eve, the nuclear family, thats why people aren't educated about transgender people. Because education system in America was and is influenced by religion and the American governments supremacist ideologies. have Yall seen how much the media pushes people to hate people? How much they push people to take sides on issues, instead of just accepting people for who they are or want to be.. And for all Yall out there, transgender is a umbrella term for people outside the standard gender binary of he and she man and woman

The ignorance on this thread makes me cringe so hard. I understand if you aren't educated about gender studies, but at least show some respect to other people's choices to be agender, or any other gender that they indentifying themselves as. Just because you're uncomfortable about the idea of people who don't fall into the gender binary (male and female) doesn't mean that you should make fun of them/troll or the idea of their equality. Don't say that it doesn't exist, or intersex people don't exist, because they do, even if it's a minority. And just because you're a minority doesn't mean you should be ignored. You definitely do NOT need to go under the knife to be trans. You can full on identify as a man if you still look like a woman, because you think you have more masculine personality traits. Gender=Based on the mind (your choice) Sex=Based on your genitilia (not your choice) The jokes about identifying as a helicopter etc are not appropriate at all, because it shows that you aren't taking this seriously. Why should it be taken seriously? Because this affects people in the minority, who are more susceptible to violence based on their gender (or lack of) to feel as if they aren't accepted. It also affirms people that it's okay to bully or make fun of people who choose a third gender, which can lead to gender based violence. |

In all seriousness though, you can call yourself whatever you want, doesn't mean I'm (and probably most others) are not going to call you a idiot. |
