There's a prejudice in play, it doesn't matter what form it takes. Discussion is about learning, and if one side cannot teach the other something, then there's no point in doing it! If you are staunchly opposed, to the point of transphobia, then there's not a point in talking about it with you. That's not to call you a bad person or something, just that there is an impasse in discussing transgenderism.I despise sweet tea. It's disgusting and I don't see how people drink it. I am not someone in which you'd want to talk about sweet tea/the south rising again with unless you wanted to argue in an endless stalemate until you gave up.
Your point? You can say things you don't like about blacks without being a racist.
You and I obviously have different views on the point of conversation. It's not about learning, it's about sharing your views. I've never had my beliefs swayed by an online argument, lol. If that's the whole reason you get involved in these, then you should just not respond to me in general.

For a lot of cis people trans people are like the harbingers of the truth about the matrix they've been living in and their only reaction is bewilderment since something they've never questioned is being openly defied and to an extent undone right before their eyes. And people react badly when that happens, because they feel unsafe. Familiarity is comfort.
