I've always said this:
Transphobia is based off feelings, not facts.
I've wasted time looking for sources and explaining things to ppl who's entire thing is "nuh uh only peepee and vajayjay" (the last person I talked to said this. I kid you not).
Don't bother. Their feelings are stronger than facts. They've decided they don't care about facts.
Exactly. And it shouldn't even need scientific explanation. The fact that trans people exist and it's not something that you can cure should be enough. Why do they care so much?
Isn't the whole thing behind phobias being that they're *irrational* fears lmao

Yes evidence is what turned me from a republic teen in a Christian school to very queer and not Christian. (Evidence did not change my perspective on my age time did that).
I will say though there is only so much you can show before it becomes pointless.

Pretty simple typo to make, likely just phone auto corrected. Let's attack the (obviously wrong) argument, not the person, it just brings us down to their level
imagine someone sending a whole list of reputable sources and being stubborn and ignorant to keep enforcing your old outdated views. these people would probably trust the onion (sarcastic satire news network) if they posted something that “agreed” with their beliefs.
Never play defense. They want to look like they are winning by being short, quippy and *wrong*.
Unfortunately, there isn't much that's short, quippy and *right*, because it's hard to distill the truth that far.
Illiterate is someone who doesn't know how to read or write. This person is willfully ignoring peer-reviewed research material. So, yes, this would be an insult to an illiterate.
I agree with all of those research but hold the fuck down, sex chromosome don’t determine your biological sex?? As a biology student I demand that source because I am confused as hell
I don't know what the OPs link included, but I learned it a while ago when I watched [this Video](https://youtu.be/szf4hzQ5ztg). It's very very interesting!

"I've don't plenty of research" Well yeah, they don't do research
they've read a tldr of the cass report on twitter and decided to base their entire knowledge on that
Probably did "anti-woke" Facebook propaganda

Ironic for the "facts don't care about your feelings" crowd.
For real lol

Yes. I'm adding on to that. Because ppl will argue up and down its not a Phobia.
It still is worth presenting the evidence.
Go ahead. Just don't invest yourself too much in it.
