Trans people
Why do people switch genders? Whenever I ask this question they usually reply with "I don't feel comfortable in my own body" or smthing like that but what does that even mean? you think that your a girl in a man's body or vice versa??
I think people should be able to do whatever they want if they're not being a threat to society or harming someone. A lot of people make a big deal out of trans people but they're literally just existing and doing what they like to make themselves happy. reply
We don't "switch" genders. Trans people are born with a gender which is "mismatched" with the one they were assigned at birth
I don't think I'm "a guy in a female body", I'm a guy. Just because I don't have a phallus doesn't mean I'm not a guy. If some cis guy got his penis cut off, or even got his whole lower half of his body cut off, does that me...... 3 reply

for the transgender people i've met, yes. like if you were forced into a mold that fixes you in place, like if you were put in a box that doesn't allow ...... 1 reply
I get it must be hard for you to understand considering you don’t have those feelings but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense. Think about if you one day you woke up in the opposite gender body and were forced to wear the opposite gender clothes, have a name of that gender etc. etc. against your will. Would you not feel uncomfortable? Sim...... 2 reply
I'd honestly suggest ,not to ask such things, I'm not a transphobe, i respect transgender people, but asking them always yields either a hostile reaction from them or like not a proper explanation.
Which is valid because they get that treatment too, I'd suggest you to either read a damn research paper or watch a scientific video on it.
It'll explai...... reply
