We have our views and opinions. You've got yours, I've got mine. As the parent of non-binary teen whose gender alignment is neither really male or female at this point, and as a friend to some really inspiring trans people, I'm gonna state my opinion that deciding to change genders is a much deeper and more complex life change than can be contained in simple black and white "basic laws of nature" reasoning. What I try to do is be understanding and empathic and supportive, because someone else's chosen gender really isn't any of my fucking business. Or yours.
And much as I have indulged in some savage and cruel humor in my life, I am trying to be a better human in that regard these days. So, I still feel like that photo caption I posted was a poor choice of words, given the riders involved.
