And being "deeply confused" for a male child means not wanting to act out the traditional role of marrying a woman and bearing children?
From your original comment:
But then you say:
So which is it? Is it the right of any person to identify as they choose, or must you act out the traditional (conservative) gender role predetermined by your biological sex?
That's a fine perspective to have, the moral imperative to have children is a common enough feature of various religions and cultures. It is, however, just one perspective. One which you have no right to force onto others.
Here's my perspective:
Every person has the inalienable right to self determination. One's body is inviolable and subject to one's own will alone. Having children is a personal choice that no one else can decide for you.
You are entitled to your opinion just as I am entitled to mine. By all means, be fruitful and multiply, but don't demand that trans people hide themselves from children because you're afraid of the ideas they might have. If you agree that people have the right to choose then you should have no problem with it being an informed choice.
Biological children, huh... You must be especially triggered to spam like an idiot, you little snowflake. As if you'd be anything but a temporary inconvenience.
