I'm not debating anything! I admit I don't know which is why I was asking for information! I see that OP links to research in the screenshot, but I can't see any links for me to click in this crosspost OR the original post! I said my opinion and welcomed facts to prove me wrong, and at no point have I tried to argue I'm correct! You're right, there is no debate, I'm not trying to debate! But I figured someone, maybe even OP, would at least link the studies from the screenshot. Especially since I don't know what community the discussion originally happened in!
Maybe the wording of my post drew some ire, and for that I apologize. But I sincerely think that having a misinformed opinion is not cause to shame someone, especially if they're literally asking for information! If you think that all I'm going to do when I see the studies is call them bullshit, that's fine, I get it. The internet is hostile and there are bad actors everywhere trying to get people to waste time and energy. But are you seriously going to just shit on me for being ignorant and just tell me "uhhh stop it dumbass" without even trying to educate? I get that I have internalized transphobia... kinda comes with the territory of being a rural trans woman. I just thought this would be the fucking space to ask.
I explained exactly why I felt your response didn't address my original question, which indicates that you're not actually reading my responses. You're deliberately ignoring my other interactions in this thread to call me a bigot. But I guess there's bad actors on both sides. Even the other person who let me know I was wrong didn't spend this much time clashing with me. They just informed me I was wrong and that it wasn't their job to educate me. And you know, I thought that was an unhelpful response at the time....
I should hope anyone reading this can see the interaction I had with flamingembers where they "wasted time" trying to educate me, and it worked.
It's extremely disappointing that you're ignoring my apologies, attempts to understand your side, and, furthermore, the clarifications I added to my original post. You're offering the type of discourse that keeps people rooted in their beliefs.
