I think we have to accept that the world is just full of random crap now where people just do what they want. That applies across the board.

The reality is that most people don't give a crap and leave others to it. It only becomes an issue when peoples actions start affecting innocent bystanders

Unfortunately people do seem to think everyone else’s business is their business.

You’re kind of proving my point.

Most trans people just want to get on with their lives. It only becomes everyone’s business because other people keep dragging it into debates, laws, and threads like this.

If it feels like it’s everywhere, that’s usually because people won’t stop talking about it. When your existence is constantly being argued over, you don’t get to just stay private.

Except with trans men. Don't hear much from them. Or from the majority of trans women who just want to get on with their lives.

I'm not getting into it today, but that sounds like a load of nonsense to me. To many visible placards, to many men bare chested flashing their pretend tits in the streets on Saturday afternoons these days for them to be wanting a quiet life.

You’re judging an entire group based on a handful of people at protests or Pride.

A few visible activists don’t represent every trans person any more than the loudest football fans represent every supporter. Most trans people aren’t marching, waving placards or doing anything in the street. They’re at work, at home, paying bills, getting on with life.

Also, Pride exists because people were attacked, criminalised and silenced for decades. Visibility didn’t come out of nowhere. It came from having to fight to be treated like everyone else.

Saying they can’t want a quiet life because you’ve seen a parade once or twice just isn’t a serious argument. It’s generalising based on what annoys you personally.

People weren’t calling everyone with an English flag racist. They were reacting to specific behaviour tied to specific events. Same with football fans. Same with Trump supporters. Context matters.

You’re comparing criticism of behaviour or political movements to someone just existing as trans. That’s not the same thing. Being trans isn’t a campaign. It’s an identity.

You tried though but you’re ignoring the context behind your own examples and then acting like it’s hypocrisy when someone points out that generalising an entire minority group is lazy.

I dislike the idea of women boxing or cage fighting because I’ve seen reports that it’s far more dangerous for them than men ..

Forgive me for caring about their health and wellbeing !!

There’s no gang. It’s just people disagreeing with you,

Your point about women’s boxing is incredibly misogynistic and infantilising. Women don’t need your permission to exercise autonomy over their own bodies. That should not be the concern of an elderly man.
