Yeah, especially if you dont believe in a soul, I don't see how it makes sense to say someone who has a particular body part doesn't actually have it because their body isn't actually them. Perhaps it isnt who they feel they should be, but other than that, their penis is still part of their body/them.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

You're not wrong that he gets hung up on things and is sensitive to criticism. I also think you're not wrong about his willingness or ability to work on that. (Sorry, Hams. I don't mean to talk about you like you're not in the room. I genuinely hope you work on that so you will be happier.) It doesn't look like jealousy to me. I've seen Hammy get this way with people who aren't the way you see yourself. I couldn't even tell you the names of half the people I've had arguments with here. Hams just isn't like that. I hope that changes because there's a lot of happiness to be had.

I don't think it's possible to be bigoted against beef stew though lol.

You must be easy to be nice to, because nice isn't my default. I try to work on that.
It must be good for your mental health to feel that way about yourself, to be sure. I prefer realism, but it doesn't do my any favors in that department. As many issues as Hammy has to work out, I do doubt that wanting to be you is one of them, though. I see him admiring a musical, artistic, introspective type, in all honesty. He seems to value those qualities above an abundance of confidence and an outdoor lifestyle.
Thanks again! My impression is that you are nice but assertive with people you think are in the wrong. Also sometimes we can be our own toughest critics.

Not saying that can’t be enough, but it is perfectly understandable if that is not enough for some people.
It's not that at all. It's the person already being fully convinced so it clearly being enough, and them still feeling that way, but they cover those feelings up by thinking about dicks and plastic vaginas that have nothing to do with the vagina they just enjoyed fucking and thought was a ciswoman's vagina. And then you have to ask why they react that way and make sense of it. Or at least I have to ask why and make sense of it because I'm innately curious and I like to understand stuff.
Once again, the opposing side is relying on strawmanning my argument. Not that you're doing it on purpose or anything, you just don't get my argument.

It comes in varying severities. When my anxiety is bad, I get agoraphobic. My mother is agoraphobic, but I just bully her until she comes out. Out of love, of course.

I think I remember where this "beef" if you will between Hammy and Cap'n first started but I probably shouldn't dredge it up.

Yeah, but you gave the example of an apple. I returned the favor with another food analogy.

Are we talking about ghost dicks giving people the heebee-jeebees at this point? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the OP Q explicitly states that they don't have a dick?
Ghost dick heebee-jeebees overiding the fact that we're attracted to and like a person might actually be an indicator that someone is transphobic.

I think CA and I have probably debated before as well. I've also totally agreed with him. People are multifaceted.

I don't know if you've noticed, but these things evolve. Also, people aren't talking about ghost dicks. They're talking about a vagina that's made out of dick tissue. Frankly, I wish transsexual people had a better option, but this is the reality. Let's not pretend it isn't.
