CMV: Transgender people who haven't undergone a sex change should just use the pronouns/bathroom/locker room of the or physical sex

Trans woman here. I've been on hormones for a while, but haven't yet had surgery.

But it's just inconvenient when you say "he" referring to someone with a dick and then someone gets offended.

Nobody ever sees my junk anywhere, and it would be really inconvenient for me to explain to everyone I meet that I have a penis when everyone already calls me "she" without needing to be prompted. The only people that mess up on that are those who knew me before I socially transitioned. I can't remember the last time I've had a stranger use the wrong pronouns at me.

It is weird when someone with a dick uses the women's restroom.

I've never run into any issues with that ever. Nobody sees my junk, so there's no real issue. What do you think trans people do in bathrooms anyways? We use it like everyone else where we go into a stall, close and lock the door, and do our business. We aren't showing off our genitals.

And yeah, I've been in the women's locker-room and made sure that nobody saw my junk. The only people that knew about me having said junk were the friends that invited me.

Your desire to do that should not override the legitimate discomfort that you inflict on the gender you want to be.

Whatever discomfort they may have from seeing my junk is nothing compared to the discomfort I would have from showing them. I have zero intention of showing that to anyone except maybe a romantic partner I'm extremely comfortable with, and then that would only be in private.

Please do not impose your transgenderness on me.

I'm not, but you should know that it takes far more effort for you to write posts like these than to use someone's correct pronouns. It really isn't that difficult.
