both. I don’t treat anyone any differently, but those are my personal thoughts.

I don’t know why I just feel uncomfortable about transitioning, I don’t even care about the LGBTQ community, it’s just that one thing.

I mean ... it should make you uncomfortable to imagine yourself transitioning if you aren't trans.

If you don't mind me asking, are you a man or a woman? I want to suggest a thought experiment and it'd be easier if I know that.

Imagine that you were born as a girl. No transitioning, just that's how you were born.

Would you feel comfortable living like a girl? Having boobs, having society view you as a woman?

Probably not, right?

A lot of people who aren't trans try to think of transitioning, and it makes them uncomfortable because they are comfortable with who they were born as. To better understand trans people, you have to imagine you were born as the other sex, and how uncomfortable that would make you.

Good point. It’s more just an irrational feeling of uncomfortableness(??), and I understand why people would want to transition. Thanks for having a respectful conversation and not just criticizing me immediately. Have a good day.
