    I've dealt with idiots like this before.

    They are usually almost entirely ignorant when it comes to trans issues and people but they like to think that their opinion is some how equal to someones who actually knows what they're talking about.

    Just to clarify, its not bad to ask questions about stuff you dont understand... Just be a little more humble about it.

    I've been getting involved in too many 'discussions' lately. I haven't dealt with this, but people who are far more unreasonable tbh. Obsessed with strawmen arguments/putting words in your mouth, refusing to acknowledge biological differences because they're one sidedly obsessed with social constructionist theory, insisting non-binary faab individuals are insulting to masculine women as though masculine women will somehow be pushed into identifying as non-binary (bizarrely ignoring the existence of maab non-binary people.) I'm just ranting now though..

    I tend to just post this link to their ignorant comments then move on. I know its not a perfect article but it does help get some basic enlightment through

    There are a lot of concern trolls in the LGBT community, where you'd least expect them :|

    TBH, they're usually where I most expect them.

    Its usually gay cis-males within the LGBT community or just cis-males outside of it.


    Thats my experience anyway.

    Well in my experience the gay dudes I've met have been some of the coolest people I've ever known.
