Not a problem at all, written medium and Lemmy likes to shove a buttload of characters in header so it's actually quite hard to notice who you are responding to. ^^
And meh. I knew what I was getting into when I wrote my comment. Wanted to see if it's gonna go reddit way or some other way. Sad to see it going reddit way, but people are people I guess.
Well, I can pretty much tell you that I most probably didn't meet any IRL. My country is...let's say a little old timey in that regard. I think, alas I may be wrong, that if I meet and befriended some my strong reaction may lessen, though I think it wouldn't entirely dissapear. And again, I cannot track it to outside variables - wasn't raised in hateful enviro towards trans, didn't participate in community that hates trans, and I am not a right winger sooo...yeah. Lack of vectors that would be responsible of repulsion, at least outside ones. Now, inside ones...I observed I do have tendency of sticking to the rules and "should"s a little too much, so it may come from applying that to sex - gender connection. Especially that in my native language there isn't different word for gender - both sex and gender are the same word. So yeah. I am not confused about them however. There's nothing confusing there. They were born as sex X, but feel as gender Y, so they are distressed. And hell, most of them can be cured by physically altering sex. Nothing to be confused about. Still, for my emotional part at least, it's unnatural and repulsive.
I think you can notice that I do actually slightly obsess about knowing myself too lol. How else I am to move forward if not by learning what makes me tick, eh? ^^
