This is not just an unpopular opinion - It's an opinion that actively leads to the death of thousands of people a year worldwide.

People just like me.

This is the only opinion here that i will actively say "go fuck yourself." to. There's having beliefs that are different from other people, and then there is having beliefs that get other people actively killed, and giving social disadvantage to those who it doesn't kill.

Like, what the fuck did I or any other trans person do to you, man? It costs you literally nothing to treat us like we're slightly above dirt, but it's "inconvenient" to call me a woman, or call my friend a man so you just won't do it. All I want is to look in the mirror and not hate myself and what I see, and then be treated with respect like anybody else. I don't see how that is imposing on you too unduly.
