Meanwhile, they're being told to stop being assholes, which is a bridge too far for them..and, apparently, you. Poor put upon straight white men, victimized everywhere they go, lol.
Do you have sons? I have some. If you see a world of men getting walked over (and..ofc you do...) then how well have those lessons been working? Did their fathers not tell them to be boys often enough? Perhaps, instead..we've been teaching our sons to walk over people? Strong men, just protecting their families, by being assholes - this is exactly what the bigots insist, after all, isn't it?
Gotta be an asshole to trans people, because the nuclear family is on the line!
Gotta be an asshole to trans people, because manliness is under attack by the jewgenda!

It's not necessarily transphobic to 'deny someone's existence' as what they want to be known as. If a scientist or doctor wants to say that men can't get pregnant, I can respect that, even though I myself would say that men can get pregnant. It's all semantics and I'm not going to sit here calling doctors and scientists bigots because they are defining 'man' the way that they define it. They should not be forced to use language that they disagree with.
Telling a child to be a man to you is telling them to be an asshole. You see masculinity as equaling assholishness. I see it as teaching them to be thick skinned. If they are naturally super sensitive, then eventually you're going to have to just accept that, but that doesn't mean you give up on them being strong minded from the start. You try to point them in the right direction, and if it doesn't pan out, then so be it, but you still have to try.
If you have a young boy who identifies more with female things or female dress, this should be discouraged as well, and hopefully they grow out of it. No one should want their child to be transgender, given the suicide rate and all the problems they will face in life. You try to point them in another direction, but if the trans thing sticks long term, then you accept it and love them how they are. You still gotta try to put them in the best position to succeed in life though.
It’s not semantics, it’s science.
The transgender suicide rate is what it is because of society’s refusal to accept that some people are simply made differently.
