Ok I know that I didn't clearly state this but the whole bathroom thing was not my opinion. I was stating a stigma that the people agianst trans rights have so that, agian, people could refute it.

The overall idea is to get people thinking. Show them what "stigmas" people have and help them better formulate responses that aid thier causes.

I went into this knowing that alot of the information is wrong but not knowing what was the truth. To the best of my knowledge (and agian, might be wrong) I asked in a very open manner that was not combative.

Format intention: My ideas/stigmas -> others explanations as to what was wrong and what is right

If I made it seem like a lecture that was not the intention. They were ment to be discussion prompts.

I noticed reoccurring theme of people asking my age. Here is the thing. Iv never been exposed to these ideas becouse I grew up in a very conservative household. This is all completely new to me. It's probably new to alot of people who are willing to hear you out. I'm trying to understand. The only reason Im not scared away is becouse I only made this post becouse I'm determined to understand.

If you can show me a good resource for information on what is happening then I would be happy to see it. I have a personal preference for talking to people and not spokesmen. That's why I don't google. If people don't want to talk about it then they can ignore me.

- puberty blockers

Was ment more like a question. And it was awnsers by a lovely individual who cited the organizations responsible to production and distribution.

- the stigma of men dressing as admin and attacking children and woman

Agian, not my notion and not promoting it. We are trying to get people to understand trans rights? How do we do that if we don't know how they are confused?

List a notion -> articulate where it is wrong -> figure out how to fix the stigma.

I'm just saying, if your trying to get someone on your side, slapping someone with a "your wrong, your a dipshit" and then walking away is not the way to do it. And it's not even that I'm personally offended by it as much as I see it to much. Instead of sitting people down and talking to them and understanding why they see things the way they do and then trying to explain it people slap them with an insult and walk away. That essentially take someone who might be an ally and turns them strait into an enemy.

I'm ashamed to admit that's what I said. Please believe me when I say that's not what I meant to say. I was looking at it in a surface level way based on my background. I did not think about the deeper implications.

I strait up didn't know that and I'll admit it. I have the "stigma" that trans people are relatively rare. Iv never knowingly meet one.

The first 1/2 last paragraph really explains why you are so mad. The first 1/2 of the last last paragraph is also wrong and shows you doing the same thing that you are accusing me of. (I don't know how to put that softer.)

You have a stigma that anyone who gets facts about trans rights wrong is trying to hurt them. And maybe that are hurting them, and I'm sorry for that, but at least I'm not TRYING to. And you seem very convinced that I am.

In conclusion I guess. I'm sorry that I offended you and that I seemed intentionally wrong. I hope that I cleared things up and that if we have any remaining issues we can sort them out.

P.s. this might seem bad but yes I do use posts that people have made as promotes for my discussion. Kinda like a forum. I figure that people who have strong enough opinions to correct me are there. ... there is a line that says "Nothing gets you the correct awnsers faster then giving the wrong one." That I just remembered ...

@chickenhearts

If you would please tell me WHY I am a dipshit maybey I'll learn to not be one.

Your behavior is what contributes to the stigma aginst marginalized groups. People who are interested are scared away and cursed at for not knowing details. It is often seen as proof that these marginalized people are bad.

Soft words turn away scorn.

I'm trying to understand. I have all the perceptions there for you to refute but you would rather punish me for trying at all.
