Someone I have to interact with tries to pull this double speak and it’s not only infuriating, but so uncomfortable and unsettling.

I’m not saying that I don’t believe that you can’t change your gender… But if someone said that it wasn’t possible that would make them transphobic? I just feel like you look to be validated whereas I don’t care if people know that I’m gay/bisexual.

That’s kinda how it works!!! I’m trans and would like to be gendered correctly! (Something he struggles with also). I’ve been bad about voice training, but I don’t get misgendered in public, so I’d say the unfortunately public process of transitioning has a validation component to it.

These fucks try to use double speak to absolve themselves of any accountability while “just asking questions”. Ugh
