My(M21) partner(22) has just confided in me that they are transgender and want to undergo hormone therapy and has accused me of being transphobic.

Lmao, this is stupid. What you identify is an attempt at forcing other people to play a pretend game, like forcing someone to believe in something that isn’t true and act it out. You’re want to be a man or woman shouldn’t constitute a requirement for everyone else to accept it until you actually are that. Fuck what people identify as, grow up even the trans community which I don’t hate or even dislike should acknowledge this. If this becomes a social norm, it will only snowball into more stupidity just like religion. I’m not transphobic either but I identify as a realist and that should be respected because that’s some real shit. Misgendering lmao, when she has a dick she’s a man and until then, out of respect for both our beliefs, I simply don’t or wouldn’t address the gender...

It’s also extremely challenging to just change the perception of someone you’ve had for a long period of time. I have no problem addressing people how they introduce themselves. Unless you want me to call you mame or woman when you have a fucking beard.
