propaganda for which side?


Clearly it's propaganda for the non-trans majority that are not comfortable with trans people.

Just like trans people came up with their 'cis people' propaganda to deal with their uncomfortableness with non-trans people.

An eye for an eye makes the world blind...


How would you feel about your first statement of the word 'trans' were replaced with Black, gay, Catholic or really any other protected class?


There's no real comparison to any of those categories.

It's more like: white people claiming to be black, straight people saying they're gay, or Muslims identifying as Catholics.

Transgender is just people desiring to be what they are not, and can never be. But we're all supposed to accept their wishful thinking as truth.

Phobic has more than 1 meaning. Photophobia and hydrophobia aren't mental illnesses.


Mental illness probably isn't the right word for it, but hydrophobia is indisputably a disease of the brain. The virus travels from the bite wound up your CNS; when it reaches your brain you die in agony.


Mental illness isn't the right word for it. And hydrophobia is a symptom of a brain disease more accurately.


Hydrophobia is a common (albeit bit archaic?) name for the disease generally, inspired by the symptom.


That definition is more than a bit archaic.
