My best friend is a trans dude and one of the best MEN that I know. The sweeping generalizations that people make are fucking retarded.
That being said, the first trans friend I ever had was actually just an asshole who couldn't seem to make up their mind as to who they were and was hostile to everyone who couldn't keep up with their constantly shifting identify or wouldn't give them credit as the "biggest minority" out of all of our diverse friends. They only lasted 1 summer with us.
I think a lot of people, trans or not, put too much of their identity into being a MAN or a WOMAN and that's a huge part of the problem because literally like other than for making babies who fucking cares? Are you a fucking asshole or not, that's all that matters to me.
And as far as children go imo hormones and surgery should not be a possible course of action until age 18, which in reality is just the arbitrary government approved age of adulthood, but that's the best we're gonna get. If they regret their decision it's on them, adults fuck shit up all the time.
