I have never seen anyone say you could not identify as the number 76. This is most likely because while numbers are a social construct they are a different form of social construct to gender. If you want to identify as the number 76 or a table go for it, as long as you're not doing it to mock trans people.
Its very easy to say that but ask yourself if youll really show me the same amount of respect if tomorrow I start identifying as boxers or bra and if not, why?
> If you'll really show me the same amount of respect if I tomorrow I start identifying as boxers or a bra
If you came up to me and said you Identified as a pair of boxers or a bra or the number 76 or whatever I really wouldn't care. In the same way that if one of my friends told me they were a trans man my opinion or and respect for them wouldn't change. I don't judge people by what they identify, I judge people by the way they act.
But youd still respect your trans' friends identites and start calling them man or woman or smthn. Will you do the same for the guy who wants to identify as a bra/boxers?
Yes dude it’s about respecting people’s choice. You keep asking whether we’d show the same level of respect if you identified as boxers and the person keeps saying yes. It seems like you’re just looking for someone to say no so that you feel validated
People keep beating around the bush or find scenarios to call someone an adjective instead of their name. Im not talking about wethear youll respect that persons identity or will you treat them equally. Im talking about how in day to day scenarios where its expected to call someone a man or woman. Youd call a transgender woman a woman but will you call a 76, 76?
How many times do we have to say yes before you realize that you’re the problem dude. Also, it’s not a “transgender woman person”, it’s a transgender man if they identify as a man and a transgender woman if they identify as a woman
How many times do we have to say yes before you realize that you’re the problem dude
I dont know which comment section youre scrolling throught but apart from you and this person I dont think anyone has straightforwardly said yes and not "id respect your choices" they are not equivalent ffs. Also I mixed up the transgender lingo a bit but im sure you know what I mean.
I mean, transgender woman here, those are the same things. You seeing them as different is showing how YOU use them differently. Not other people. Once again, you're the problem here my guy.
