Good day all, in response to the increase in transphobia we've experience since the For Women Scotland v Scotland Supreme Court decision, seemingly a mix of genuine malice and people tripping up with a topic they're unfamiliar with, I've taken the initiative to write some guidelines on how to engage in the topic and clearing up some common misconceptions.

I'm not all that happy with them, I want something more comprehensive but my time has been pretty taxed lately and I don't want my perfectionism to stand in the way of having these out. If there's any issues, glaring omissions or whatnot, then please let me know or make a pull request here.

That's the problem. You're trying to equate being trans, which is something internal, that your mind manifests, with something like being black. A physical trait that is external, that one cannot hide, or run from.

You pervert the nature of the discussion when trying to base truth off false equivalence

I thought that's what a lot of it was? Someone who chooses to identify as another gender

If I'm wrong about this, please correct me.

Yeah, being trans is either a choice, or an internal mental manifestation that someone has no control over, but regardless, it's not something others see immediately, unless you choose to draw attention to it

It comes from gender dysphoria, doesn't it?

If it's someone making a choice, then why should we respect that in the same way we should respect people with gender dysphoria identifying as their selected gender?
