The only reason I care is because it's constantly being shoved down everyone's throat and I have seen so, so many trans people who are trying to make the whole world trans. That is not hyperbole. I have had trans people try to convince me that I am trans. Just because they're unhappy with what they were born with doesn't mean everyone feels that way. I've also had trans people completely disregard anything I have to say about any topic, just because I'm "cis" I'm all for fighting for fair and equal treatment of all, but I will NOT stand for that shit.

I’m not sure what kind of trans people your interacting with, but your negative reaction may have soured your belief of the entire community. The vast, vast majority of trans people just want to live their life without having to feel like worthless outsiders from both their own bodies and fellow people. There is no push to make other people trans. If your not trans your not trans, and that isn’t a bad thing. Being cisgender or transgender doesn’t make someone any more or less valuable as a person, and it certainly doesn’t effect the validity of their opinion.

He's not interacting with trans people. Dude is a fullblown liar and I'm stunned that people are taking his lies seriously. He is literally repeating, word for word, talking points that transphobes have been using for years.
