First of all, I responded to exactly what you wrote in your first comment. If you expected a different outcome from my response, you should work on your communication skills. For the record, your comment was almost completely incoherent. My response to your babbling was generous.

It is not my job to convince you that transness is valid when you’re not here in good faith to begin with. I know what it looks like when someone just wants to argue with a trans person. Nothing I could ever say would convince you that my side is valid.

You are not here in good faith - you are demanding a debate from me that I am not consenting to at this time. Go argue with someone on Twitter.

Marginalized people do not owe you debate. I don’t feel like engaging with the devil’s advocate just because you’re so privileged that you think the existence of people like me is up for debate.

Do your own research. You’re more than welcome to disagree with my essay, but the mere fact that I’m a trans person on the internet who writes content doesn’t mean I owe you this discussion.

Instead of pressing me for answers, riddle me this: why do you think your opinion is necessary or warranted on issues that don’t impact your life? Furthermore, why should I defend my position to when you're insulting my intelligence in the process?

Have a day
