And yeah, sure, you personally can't explain what it feels like to be YOU and I can't explain what it feels like to be me (a man) without eventually referring to our genitals and genetics, but that doesn't matter. It's a feeling from within and we need to respect that.

And sure, transpeople always have a myriad of mental illnesses, but being trans isn't a mental illness. A group of psychiatrists said so! In fact, what we need to do is honor every transperson's inner truth and then also help them deal with their real mental illness problems (which, again, are totally separate from the feeling that they're in the wrong body).

And sure, yeah I know, sometimes...many times...a trans person will get "gender affirming" surgery and take hormones and STILL feel off. But that's just because society won't accept who they really are.

I know, I know, when you see a transperson out in public, you can't really tell what they are. I get it. It's sort of a "uuhhh, is that a tranny or just a weird looking woman" thing. But that's on you! You are the problem!!
