I'm taking BuzzFeed quizzes again so you guys can get a sense of my views.
Right off the bat, I'm sensing a lack of nuance. The only two answers for the first question aren't what I think makes someone trans (gender dysphoria). They are "SRS" or "saying you're trans". I chose the second because that, to me, sounds like the natural product of gender dysphoria.
I think people should go into whatever restroom they like. As long as you mind your own business, no one cares.
I thought Chelsea Manning was cis. Huh, you learn something new every day.
I selected "sure" on this question because genitals might have relevance in some photo shoots. If the question is on what to do with them, that's fine. Otherwise, it's pretty creepy and invasive.
I don't really know the context of this one so I just randomly chose an answer.
I'm sure trans people have called themselves "hot tranny messes" with friends before. Does that make cis people "hot cissy messes"?
If surgery is relevant, feel free to discuss, listen, and laugh together.
Trans women and drag queens are not the same thing. One is transgender and the other is a transvestite. Neither are morally wrong, but one has a medical condition that needs remediation through transition.
Transition is an integral part of trans people's lives. If the person in question consents to revealing certain aspects of their pre-transition life, I don't think anyone should stop them. However, if they want to keep it private, it is well within their rights to do so.
I'll ask their name and see if I can go off of their name when using pronouns.
My Result: Not Transphobic At All
Funny thing is, my religious upbringing combined with a lack of decent information on the subject made me transphobic when I initially heard about what being transgender was. However, I have since changed my beliefs and I'm certainly glad that I did.
