i have nothing against trans, i do not understand it, but i do not condemn it. i just dont think they should be part of the gay community. The gays have fought for so long to be accepted and we finally are, but throwing a wrench in there like trans can scare off those who were starting to accept

Downvoted for the title

I don't think outsiders will see trans & gays as one group, so they will keep acting differently to each one.

People are going to associate them anyway, this way the two communities can support and help each other.

Ah yes, the old "I'm doing fine now, why should I help the less fortunate?"

I hate that trans people are grouped with trans people, I hate that anyone is grouped with anyone for anything except the personalty...
Chereazi
You're still a dick for thinking that has a bad influence on gays though :P
squidjism
Technically, twinks dress pretty 'trans' themselves. Should they be thrown in with the trans?
Chereazi
Everyone knows gays are just trans that are too afraid to transition anyways, common knowledge really #totallyserious

Wow. "i have nothing against trans" Sure, buddy. First, you do know trans people can be gay too, right? Second, trans people aren't 1/

Found the trans person.

grouped into the gay community. LGBTQ+ encompasses a large selection of people, not just gays.

The only problem I have with the trans community is allowing young children to get reassignment surgery. They should have to be at LEAST 16.
LuckySiduri
While I do agree that it's a bit touchy, the earlier therapy/surgery starts, the less likely you are to find a chick with bruce wayne's chin
Chereazi
That has nothing to do with surgery, the only surgery required if started early is for genitals, and doing that while the patient is still
Chereazi
growing is just asking for problems.
Chereazi
Lol, they don't. Requirements by any decent surgeon I read up on: 18+, below 20 permission from parents required.
truthsmiles
I feel like in some cases it's actually the parents pushing the kids, which is obviously really concerning.
ShoeDenim
Yup, pushy parents are out there. But imagine the social stigma a child would face and the emotional trauma for 18 years before the surgery
Chereazi
Would be terrible, yes, but I have never heard of that actually happening, it probably would get obvious fast,
Chereazi
wrong hormones can cause depression/suicidality.
truthsmiles
That's good to hear. I'm sure the alarming stories I've heard are quite rare.
Chereazi
You might mean puberty blockers, that can be started at a younger age, but that is reversible.
silber
Not just rare, but outright lies. The only thing minors would be given just delays the onset of puberty.

That's really reassuring - thanks! :-)
