    /s right? Because that doesn’t happen. But I mean they are getting all these bad actors telling them it’s better NOT to be trans. That only affects the trans kids. Telling a strait kid that it’s better to be trans will be met with scoffs. Telling a trans kid that being trans is bad somehow will fuck them up.

        Are you conflating “it’s ok to be trans” with “being trans is better?” Becuase those are not the same thing. Is what you’re saying anecdotal or do you have like a real source?

        E: ah I see your comment history, I understand now. Please, what is the “trans agenda” in your own words. Btw, contrary to what you’ve said you’ve always been allowed not to like trans, people, or even hate the idea of people being trans, just like people can call you out on it, what you can’t do is take away their rights, that’s when there is an issue. P.s. I hope you’re against circumcisions.

          No, I’m not conflating them.

          Let me repeat exactly what I wrote: “there are bad actors who will try to convince them that it’s better to be trans.” I shouldn’t have to spell this out for you, but this means that some people will try to convince others that it’s better to be trans.

          Are you trying to argue that those people don’t exist? If so, please say it.

            Granted, you did say that, sure there may be 1 or two people who say that and you said you see it all the time, so surely its widespread. I see you aren’t aware of hyperbole. Now that that’s done with. Will you continue to conveniently ignore my questions?

              I never used the word “widespread” or mentioned scale at all. I’m glad we can at least agree that it does happen.

              You can figure out the answers to your questions on your own.

                Ah yes the classic i can’t back it up. Thanks, I knew you couldn’t, you just had to admit it. Wait you see it all the time, but it’s not widespread, surely, with your anecdotal evidence it happens with frequency, since you said “all the time” that means it’s constant. Every time you leave the house, or dare I say it in your house, people are telling kids to be trans. (See what I did there. I used your stupid semantics the same way you do)

                  🥱

                  I’ve already debunked you several times. I’m not going to keep doing it just because you refuse to admit when you’re wrong.

                  Gonna ignore you now because you’re never going to stop replying to my posts.

                  Goodbye, and good luck.

                    You really like hyperbole, cause not even once have you debunked me. Classic Shapiro. I can’t argue my case so I’m gonna ignore you haha

        Where are you that you see trans people try to convince children it is better to be trans “all the time?”

          Sorry flying squid, I can tell you’re on a tirade and are going to keep replying to all of my posts if I keep responding to you.

          I’m going to stop this now and put you on ignore. I hope you can realize for yourself why you’re incorrect, but it’s not my problem to educate you about the real world.

          Goodbye, and good luck.

        I may joke to male friends that they should be femboys but that is the extent of what I’ve seen. Whenever anyone says that they actually are questioning their gender I give them as much space as they need to figure it out themselves but am always open to questions. The trans people I know are the same and most trans people on the internet seem to be too. I wouldn’t be too surprised if there are some people who are not like us and do try to force others. I think cis people trying to force trans people to be cis are more common.

          Yeah, that’s how it starts. It’s how neo-nazis wriggle their way into places they shouldn’t be.

          “It’s just a joke, bro.” Until it isn’t.

            I mean you’re not wrong about jokes being used like that. In this case the jokes at most encourage them to explore their gender expression, I’m not suggesting that they transition in any way.

            If you want to directly compare like that it would imply that I (a trans person) am sneaking into cishet places. This alone should probably show that it’s a bad comparison because friendship isn’t something that should be discriminated by gender, sexuality, race, or idk nose position.
