    I think that the point is not strictly about gender and transgender rights strictly. It is about the having the freedom to represent yourself as you wish in social situations, versus the right to… I’m… something about not having to see something you don’t understand… no, it’s to not have to challenge your definition of the world even if other people doagree with it. Hmm lemme think about it again.

      I see it as basically it comes down to common morals, character traits whatever.If someone you’re interested in wants to do the opposite of your preference in the way of rights for a specific set of people that’s probably not due to the specific group as it’s more a not seeing eye to eye on on rights issues and there would be more to come in that relationship.

      I’m straight but if I met a girl (passed that time forever hopefully) and she didn’t want to give people the same rights as themselves, well yeah not going to be interested anymore. I don’t even need a qualifier on people, we’re all humans and deserve the same rights to love who we want and be the person we are (as long as it doesn’t infringe on others besides their ‘decency’)

        I don’t know that they want to deny others a right that they want to allow themselves. I think they want to deny others a right that they want to deny everyone, even themselves.
