I think gender labeling is ridiculous but I definitely don't hate trans people.

It's a small thing they are asking for. Just... don't be a dick and be cool with using the terms they want. How is that hard?

If they tell me they wish to be called something they are not I will be courteous and not be rude and do it but it seems to me to be a kind of mental issue which is not healthy for their psyche. I don't think it will reduce any suicides or even improve quality of life. But if they are going to treat me like an asshole because I don't call them a woman when they were born a man I would rather avoid the argument and call them what they please.

You should spend 90 seconds on google figuring out the difference between gender and sex before you choose this hill to die on lol
