I think this is a really good thread for seeing many of the questions that trans rights activists need to answer, all in one place.

Possibly useful to use with the uninformed/unthinking. How will they respond?

Excellent.
Tinsel nails it though.

Likely will see a lot of accusations of transphobia for even asking some of those questions.

The last one is very interesting - “we need to have difficult conversations”. I agree. And I know that people (in general) are afraid of difficult conversations (for all subjects) but only by being brave enough to do that can real solutions be achieved.

How on earth do the “no debate” shouters think everyone else gets on with life? Difficult conversations revolve around relationships, jobs, children, health... nothing gets better by not ignoring the debates even if the conversation is upsetting or distressing for some.

Good questions- the answer to all of which is: because male entitlement.
