The question would be, how many people who declare up front that they're transgender are actually medically diagnosed with such condition and how many just jumped on the bandwagon of what is fancy on the internet right now?
Disclaimer - personally, I'm sceptical about the concept and scientific grounds behind transgenderism and I expect my comment to be downvoted.
- lwhi 5y agoPreempting downvotes, because you know your comment is not acceptable to the majority, feels like a very cynical device designed to limit that behaviour.
- franczesko 5y agoI'd be cautious about referring to what is acceptable to the "majority" and claiming that the concept receives a broad support, as in reality it seems that it's quite the opposite.
- lwhi 5y agoI suppose it depends whether you're making the comment in a community where the majority are cis gendered men or not. And furthermore, if you weren't expecting the majority to disagree you've just certified the comment as disingenuous anyway.
- franczesko 5y agoI was expecting a discussion about the merit of my comment and not an immediate downvote just because someone might not like opinion.
