I replied to someone and I basically told them that they’re invalidating trans people by saying that gender is a social construct.

They went on to say this (word for word) ‘I stated that gender is based on societal standards and to change genders you have to conform to the gender roles of your desired gender’.

Like holy FUCK you can’t be further from the truth. Im not particularly masculine. Even when I was wearing fake nails and crop tops (over a tshirt though), I was still perceived as male - because I’m male in ways other than my presentation. Because I pass as male.

They went on to also say that 'Unless you’re gender nonconforming, then medical transition is necessary to be a man (gender). You can’t change sex".

Like what!!! You can’t sya that gender is a ‘social construct’ then proceed to say that you HAVE to transition to be a man, then also proceed to say you can’t change sex… all after spewing that broad shoulders and a beard are all social expectations for what men have… and after saying that sex characteristics aren’t strict (I’m assuming meaning intersex people) so they aren’t ‘facts’… and also saying dysmorphia with dysphoria…

Istg, I just can’t deal with these people who are talking OVER us. Even if they could be trans, they’re taking away the seriousness of this shit and making everyone out there feel like absolute rubbish because they want to push gender expectations on everyone.
