You're calling me a transphobe but you're using that slur? Oh what has become of this world.
Just to clear things up, Barry said: [...] declare my gender today, as I can, to be a woman and then you will no longer be able to attack me [based on gender]. Tell me how this doesn't imply that Barry is saying this just so people won't be able to use the gender argument.
If Barry officially announces being transgender, then I have absolutely no problem with that. If Barry were to now show a feminine appearance, and change their gender permanently, then I will revoke my statements without question. How does that make me a transphobe?
I just can't tolerate people abusing being transgender to win debates that have nothing to do with it.
