Transgender niece

My niece lives in another country and I’ve just heard that she is becoming a he. She has changed her name, is taking hormone medication and now has facial hair. She is a transgender boy. However she sees herself as a boy. AIBU to think she will never be a biological boy and to refer to her as a transgender boy? I realise this could be an emotive topic.

OK, I find you extremely basic and boring. That tactic of "wHaT dO yOu tHiNk aBoUt (x) iS (y)" is particularly grating, because it demonstrates such lacking. In multiple areas.

This is the last reply to you, sorry x

So you can't answer.

Got it.

You realise that everyone can see your responses, don't you? If you can't answer basic questions, that is a problem with the position you've taken.

What do you think is 'hateful' about saying humans can't change sex?

It means "I don't care". Seems to me like @MyBlueCritic is particularly bad, even for a TRA, at reading the room and moving out of their internet bubble.

The TRAs are always so quick to accuse others of not listening to trans people.

But when it comes to detransitioners, they just want to ignore/block these stories.

Go figure.

Oh give my head a holiday you drama queen. It's a silly meme. Take your feigned outrage and clutch your pearls elsewhere. Honestly 🫠

At least my cult doesn't demand that anyone mutilate themselves. I'll take that as a major plus.

Every accusation is a confession with you people lol, you have your own made up language, think you're above the law, believe your own propaganda, worship false gods, donate cash you can't afford, have notions of grandeur etc etc

YOU are the one in a cult bbz 😂

If you don't believe me, it's only because you don't want to believe detransitioners stories because it doesn't suit your narrative.

I've referenced my cousin's child plenty of times on this forum.

A cult that thinks humans can't change sex?

Seriously? You think that's a cult?

@MyBlueCritic So you meant nothing. Okay. You're still in a cult, mind you.
