>>83 I mostly agree with you anon, but I think there's an important aspect where most people both want to maintain cisgender comfort while treating transgender people as a vaguely human other. For example, you using the word "transformer" instead of a more stigmatized pejorative although it's similarly cruel. I think most of this dialogue is essentially just "how much cruelty to transgender people deserve to endure".
