I'm very happy to call you whatever you want and all the stuff that goes with it when it comes to that, but that's where I draw the line. I mean some people think they are animals trapped in human bodies, some people even think that they are mythical creatures like dragons or unicorns.
That goes under delusional, which does not apply to transgendered individuals
Quote: And some people make up their own gender identity, just browse tumblr long enough and you'll see it: i'm a pansexual, asexual, non-binary demi-girl etc. I'm not going to humour someone when they tell me they are a wolf in a human body.
Pansexual and asexual are sexual orientations, not gender identities
And while I do agree there is an unfortunate trend to label yourself with words you don't necessarily know the meaning of or that don't factually apply to you, I don't see what this has to do with gender dysphoria
Quote: Where do we draw the line when it comes to these things?
Where the line between 'delusional' and 'transgendered' is? You're putting multiple different things into the same category
There are so many misconceptions about transgendered people....its not the same as feeling you're an animal trapped in a human body, the comparison is fucking ridiculous and if I hear it again I'm gonna stab somebody
Please research what it really is before conflating it with sexual orientations, delusions and sexism:
