I'm transgender (MtF) and I rolled up my male barbarian D&D character before I realised I was trans and have been feeling dysphoric playing him since. My party don't know I'm trans yet but tonight he was possessed by a female spirit and I got to be her in game.

So we are we supporting unhealthy behavior?
It's not a behaviour... if you don't know what gender dysphoria is why are you commenting on it?

It absolutely does and being insulted isn't gonna manipulate me into thinking otherwise, so.

I am trans. I experience gender dysphoria. I am not frightening and I do not have trouble distinguishing fantasy from reality just because I experience gender dysphoria. You're being very transphobic.

Absolutely, same way I would for any man or woman. Would you rather I treat trans people like they're not fully men and women instead?

I'd rather you don't treat them like they're frightening and don't have a concrete grasp on reality, just because they might experience gender dysphoria.

I'm taking it as a sign that you're manipulative and trying to shutdown people you disagree with but lack a strong argument or the rhetorical skills to do so.

I was trying to politely inform you that this is a much deeper topic than you're aware of, and you shouldn't speak about it without knowing more about it. That's not manipulative, but your reply certainly is.

You're cis, yet you're confidentially telling me- a trans person- all about your uneducated opinions on gender dysphoria, and the trans experience with gender in general.
