    which I find to be incredibly stupid because it’s a cultural construct that is largely self imposed

    Oh please explain this more. We need your cis gender expertise to explain how gender doesn’t matter

    and is imo the only legit reason to transition.

    Wtf. First, why else would someone transition? And even so, who are you to gatekeep what reasons are legit?

      As for the first part, I feel like I explained it fairly well. Literally just do what you want. It’s the equivalent of saying “I’m nerdy, so I can only do nerdy things.”

      As for the second part, yeah I mean I shouldn’t be gatekeeping but I phrased it that way to show that I do understand that reason.

      With that being said, I posted that with the hope of learning, and while your comment feels a little aggressive, I appreciate that you stayed civil. Can you explain why my understanding of gender does not work?

      By simply mocking the person for saying gender roles are stupid, the naive conclusion is that you are for gender roles.

      If there’s nuance there, it’d be great for you to tease that out, otherwise it just looks like you’re for gender roles, or gatekeeping the topic.
