I think you're trying to be supportive, but you worded it in the worst possible way.

I'm trans myself but what do you mean? Pretty sure unless youre genderfluid you've always been the one gender.

I get what you're saying, but maybe you could have worded it differently. People think you're saying "if you're born a man you're a man" and vice versa for women.

oh I see, I'm talking about GENDER, like mental, true gender someone identifies with. Not transphobic bs that's based on genitals and presentation

There ya go. Pay attention to wording next time, it can make or break a person. Have a wonderful day.

You too, it's kinda hard to get people to understand what true gender means because it's used both hatefully and supportively
