If you aren’t trans, don’t say what is and isn’t offensive to trans people. Don’t tell me what I should and shouldn’t be offended by. Don’t speak on my behalf, I can speak for myself.

The same could be said for trans people who didn’t find the episode offensive. I’ve gotten told nasty things because I said as a trans person i thought everyone’s reactions were over the top. Other trans people have told me that i should be offended.

“If you aren’t trans, don’t say what is and isn’t offensive to trans people.”

Well let me tell you the reason why I made the post. There were this person who was insisting that a male character in a dress is offensive to the trans community. They were tryuing to convince everyone that. they were arguing not only with me, but many other trans people. The thing was, they weren’t trans and they were trying to tell me, my friends and the rest of the trans community what we should be offended by while at the same time actively arguing with us when we say it’s not offensive.

You and I would be on the same page about any idiot who claimed a man in a dress is transphobic or offensive to trans people; it doesn’t even matter if a specific trans individual finds that offensive - the reality is unless it’s being done with the specific intent to mock transwomen it’s not offensive and those who are offended by it are over sensitive and juvenile.

We are not, however, on the same page when it comes to your misguided opinion that only (insert member of a group here) can talk about (reiterate group) issues. Everyone is entitled to an opinion on social matters, regardless of whether or not those social matters apply to the person or not. You can’t tell people they can’t have an opinion or a voice in matters. Don’t worry, I’ve been guilty of this before as well, but we grow up and we mature and we learn from our mistakes. Everyone has the right to a voice and an opinion or no one does. That’s how equality works.

The point of the post was because the people who found it offensive to trans people werne’t trans and argued with all the trans people who told them it wasn’t offensive. The people were telling us what we should and shouldn’t be offended by while ignoring our voice. We, the trans community, are the ones who should decide whether or not something is offensive to us and when we do speak out that something isn’t offensive to us, the people who aren’t trans should listen.

Remember that one time a non japanese SJW was getting mad at some japanese people for not finding godzilla offensive? THat’s basically what’s going on here.
