I dunno, I manage to do it. It's not hard! The Internet makes it easier than its ever been in the history of our species to research things, even socially unacceptable things that are officially socially accepted in the DSM. That's still not perfect, but we take what we can get.

It's strange to me this kind of stuff is only ever a "SJW" issue to people who I can only assume have no experience with it. Doing even a small amount of research will tell you enough about it especially now that it's becoming easier to actually, you know, talk about it without getting beaten to a pulp among other unpleasantness (though this also still happens frequently enough to be a Problem with a capital P). It irritates me beyond belief that people shove talking about my own god damn existence in an acceptable way to being something only those stuck up, annoying, not-like-me Social Justice Warriors (I really hate this shit too, by the way) care about, because don't worry about it dude you're just a normal guy and no normal guy knows about this weirdo stuff and I dunno why anyone's jumping on you for asking an honest question god some people you know.

I already don't get on enough people about it for fear of being labeled "one of the bad ones", and I guess my fear is justified. It fucking sucks.

P.S. I see people using "transsexual" but as far as I know that is generally considered outdated. I don't know anyone under the age of 60 who still uses it!
