A lot of the transgender people I've befriended and even dated. They all stick to the simple things.
They don't really care about whatever the hell the pronouns have gone to. They just wanted to be the opposite sex. Some, wanted to be no gender. Others, were genderfluid. They weren't pretentious by coming up with 50 different genders and 50 more ways to call them by.
And most of all, they just wanted to be accepted.
Don't stereotype people by the online facade. I've met maybe one weird trans person who fits the stereotype but most of the time they are normal people
I see you've skipped the bits where I had said something about I don't know, having known transgender people.
The message is a follow on in agreement
I've met plenty of people who fit stereotypes, and are not normal well-intention ed people. Trans or straight or cis or whatever. Plenty of people just lean into their own stereotype purposefully... these are also the same folks who are obsessed with social media, trends, and policing what is 'cool' or 'strong' or whatever image they want so desperately to project.
I put pronoun police into the same category as bro-dozer drivers. insecure assholes who are desperate to be recognized.
