"The assumption that there will be a negative reaction to the truth, so the truth shouldn't be known, is fucking ridiculous when it comes to dating."

There is a long and grim of trans abuse and murders because of trans people being open about being trans, you seemingly choose to ignore this piece of information. That is the argument you made, and if you don't understand your own premises to your own argument, then that's a you problem.

It's not a strawman, you are saying that trans people being honest is **more** important than trans people not being murdered. The reason trans people aren't always forth coming about who they are when they get into relationships is because they don't want to die. So if you respect their partners feelings **more** than you respect trans people's lives, your argument makes sense, but that's a hell of a way to prioritize, and clearly shows a lack of care about trans lives.

Do you honestly not understand self preservation and not wanting to be murdered?

Fucking and dating are not always the same thing, and trying to see how your potential partner is so you can judge how safe you are to come out is absolutely fair enough when trans people are murdered so often.

Out of interest are you as vocal when a married man conceals his martial relationship to pursue sexual relationships with others? I see a lot of outrage about trans people, but not so much about married men, and not on the same level.

Others are what, comfortable with someone else’s gender identity? What? That makes zero sense…

Again, you misgendered some imaginary person in your initial reply because you want them to be the gender you perceive then to be rather than who they are, you are trying to main character the whole universe, not just your life, but other people’s lives.

Your words are clearly towards me, and show that you give a little more than a simply penny for how I, and others, feel. That you feel threatened by other people's gender identity, shows just how insecure you are with yours. You are trying to impose your perception of other people's gender identity onto them regardless of if it is their gender identity. You seem to think you are in fact, the main character.

You have either mistaken edgeyness with bigotry, or you simply are a bigot, neither would surprise me.

/u/refreshing_username You get now why I'm primed to think comments like yours are transphobic?

I have no idea what song you’re talking about, not everyone will know your pop culture references, and if it hadn’t been some unknown pop culture reference there is no way in hell it wouldn’t be overtly transphobic. You could even post the reference here if you want to really let the audience know what on the hell you are referencing.

Transphobe spotted

When trans people are openly out they are frequently killed. It is 100% up to the trans person when to come out, and you do not need to inform someone you are trans before you sleep with them.

You can offer help via the social model of disability, different =/= deficient.

I mean the medical model of disability is deficit based so I get why we end up with weird titles like that, as well as weird person first language that shouldn’t apply to neurotypes :/.

Then yes! That is how I approach my diet!

That depends…are you a police officer?

The rich don’t count.

A lot of “wholesome” is toxic positivity, rule of thumb for me is, would this encourage or justify abhorrently evil things, if yes, it’s not wholesome, it’s a form of toxic positivity.

Same with does it erase legitimate emotional reactions, if it’s blindly telling someone to be happy when they are depressed, sad, grieving so on so forth, it is not wholesome.

I’ve been struggling a lot with not eating the rich, feeling like maybe I shouldn’t just because I want to, but this meme has definitely helped me to realise I do deserve to eat the rich, thank you! ❤️

Nom nom nom

Ergo God exists /j

Suddenly George Berkeley does not seem so silly!

I did say originally “in before quantum physics I can’t understand” :p

Wouldn’t that be more aligned to my argument than your own?

There would be no one to observe pi. There would be no differentiation between any concepts at all, there wouldn’t be concepts. You need an observer for things to be observed.

If humans didn’t exist, would gravity exist? Of course. If another species came along would they conceptualise gravity how we have? Unknown. It’s the same with maths. We have our ways of looking at the world, and decide how we are going to look at numbers (like what base we use), but this sadly kinda goes back to the whole “if a tree falls” side of things.

What use does maths have if there is no-one to observe the maths, to discover it? What use does gravity have if the universe became lifeless? It would be, but it would also be meaningless.

How we perceive maths, how we perceive gravity, the effects it has on us, is useful.

The concepts of maths only exist because we exist. Would the forces of the universe react differently if we didn’t exist? Probably not (in before quantum physics I don’t understand), but there wouldn’t be any concepts. There wouldn’t be any sense of a difference between a rock, a planet, gravity, light, colour, sound.
