A group of rough looking boys walked past me today and all I heard of their conversation was “he’s got that anxiety disorder bro so I went with him so he’d be more comfortable” and it made me realise the world isn’t all that bad

“sorry i can’t come out, i have plans”

Feel like you missed a whole paragraph earlier how stereotypes always exist no matter what we do to change them.

No one’s saying they are above another gender, no one is saying anyone is should adhere to those stereotypes.

Transgender people break gender norms by choosing which they want even when they don’t match their birth gender.

But there’s a difference between harmful stereotypes and stereotypes

Some people adhere to harmful stereotypes some people force others to adhere to stereotypes

Amazon Description: "Nobody seems to understand that Hannah is not a girl. His parents ask why he won't wear the cute outfits they pick out. His friend thinks he must be a tomboy. His teacher insists he should be proud to be a girl. But a birthday wish, a new word, and a stroke of courage might be just what Hannah needs to finally show the world who he really is."

The idea that there are certain clothes, behaviors, activities that determine whether you are a boy, or a girl is just reinforced with the idea of gender identity. This book basically teaches young children that wanting short hair, not liking pink, wanting to actually play and have fun, not wanting to be "pretty", not wanting to wear "girl" clothes, makes you a boy.

It is so hard to explain the very simple idea that gender is oppressive. Of course kids aren't going to like being taught from birth that you must wear pink, no you can't play that sport, those are boy clothes!, etc... And no, the answer is not to say someone was "Born in the wrong body!" when they express dissatisfaction from forced gender roles. Straying from gender roles doesn't mean anything is wrong with you, your body or mind. You can cut your hair, wear different clothes, play sports, or whatever, none of those things make you a different sex.

You are saying this book is a harmful And being influenced by outside sources.

If you don’t think people can make their own choices on their own accord to be transgender without being influenced by outside sources then you are taking agency of me and the author.

What do you think influenced me? The rampant transphobia online or the anti trans laws enacted around the world? Wouldn’t those influence me against being trans?

You’re taking away other people’s agency like mine and the authors to say that we were influenced by other people, when nobody around me was trans. I live in Texas where it’s ostracized and politicalized. I didn’t choose to be trans and to imply that it was a choice is harmful and dehumanizes me

Every major medical organization around the world agrees that transgender healthcare helps people! You based your opinion off nothing but your own feelings

You make inferences, that there is conspiracy of people influencing a child to be transgender. Do you not think a child can be transgender? What about a child who is gay? Or lesbian?

Also nice job taking away my own agency. My family is half anti trans, my boss at the job I’ve worked my whole life is anti trans. There’s laws against being trans where I am.

But yeah someone once said something online about being trans and my agency goes out the window and I’m forced to be trans

This isn’t about you though? Where did they imply they are better than you? Where did they say you MUST be a boy?

This is a book about ONE person, not everyone.

OK, I don’t know if we’re reading the same book, but it doesn’t look like you think the child has the same agency that the book expressed they did? Do you think somebody is forcing the child to be a boy and they have no choice in the matter? Do you really think they would write a book?

Do you think I was forced to be trans or that I chose to be trans on my own accord

It damn well would be

You do realize this is a true story?

The author is a trans man who based this story of his own experiences with their identity. It’s a story of Someone finding they can’t fit into the gender identity they were born as and transitioning.

It’s not oppressive to let people transition or to let people be stereotypical boys or girls. Those stereotypes will always exist and only change over time. It’s like saying you want to get rid of the night sky. It’s the same sky all day it just changes.

Also every transgender person is acutely aware of their sex assigned at birth. It’s called gender transition not sex transition.
