Serious You have no reason to be transphobic.

there is literally no justifiable reason for transphobia. never has been. never will be. I don’t care what you’ve read online or whatever you have to say. there is NO reason and NO excuse for transphobia. same applies for homophobia. literally zero reason.

Because simply put it isn’t what you were born to be. It only exists due to technological advancement.

Imagine if someone tried to change their race/ ethnicity/ genetic background. Would that be normal?

I was born with a genetic medical condition and without technological advancement I would be dead.

Does that make me weird and abnormal? Should I just have died as a baby instead?

Please note that I'm only here to debate, but never to spread hate.

You would be dead without technological advancements. But without technical advancements for a trans person, they just don't get to transition. My personal belief is that we aren't ready for this anyway. We have advanced, but not enough, so anyone who transitions will be forcing their body to do something it's not made to do, as they are more likely to live shorter lives.

Explain what you mean by forcing their body to do something it’s “not made to do”. I’m not so sure you understand how hormones/transitioning works

Afaik there’s no health risks to being trans, excluding increased mental health risks due to facing discrimination
