Transexual definition -  people experiencing a gender identity that is inconsistent with their assigned sex and desire to permanently transition to the sex or gender with which they identify, usually seeking medical assistance to help them align their body with their identified sex or gender.

 

Says nothing about when their surgery takes place.

The original "definition" of "transsexual" is outdated, and has been replaced mostly with transgender - except for cases where some people have already transitioned.

Nobody joked specifically about transexuals or disrespected them.  Don't make things up.

Try telling that to transexuals.  LOL!

If that isn't joking about transgender folks, then you seriously need to work on your communication skills.

My point it is in our society, some groups of people are told to put on their big boy pants and to accept reality about their bodies.

Because sometimes there's nothing that can be done about said situation.

But you tell the same thing to another group of individuals, your life is finished.

But sometimes things can be done about said situation. Not to mention some situations are more complex than others. Being trans is obviously a complex situation and has a lot of nuance to it. It's definitely not comparable to going bald.

 

I'm nicely asking you to be respectful to the trans community. It's not a big ask. This doesn't need to be an argument.

You need to tone down on your sensitivity settings.  When it's set to ultra high, you tend to feel things that aren't there.

You can't have an argument over an incident that never occurred.

Anyways, do you think Rachel Dolezal's situation is complex?

She was born a white woman but she feels that she's black inside.  Most of the world ridiculed her and she basically gets no support.

Do you support her?

This has obviously ran it's course and has devolved into whataboutisms.
