"To me, it seems ridiculous to have a [trans] kid decide at 12, 13, 14 whether they want to have biological children at 20, 30, or 40."
"Well, they make the decision to kill themselves at 12 and 13."

Uh, isn't it a bit ridiculous for teenagers deciding that they want kids at age 20, 30, or 40, PERIOD?  I mean, I think that wanting kids "someday" should probably be the last thing on an adolescent's mind.

It's not just the decision to have children, it's the decision to NOT have children, as well.

It seems to me as though you're taking a few rotten apples and then using them to claim that the barrel itself is rotten.  However, we seem to be getting off-topic, so let's continue this discussion in another thread.  I don't want this to end up like the "Die Cis Scum" thing.

Anyway:


I dislike the wording ("transgenders" vs "transgender people") but I agree with the message. However, I think it's slightly off the mark in its goal of getting cis folk to give a damn about trans* folk's struggles. I think a more effective sign would say something like "If your brother/sister/best friend/spouse/son/daughter/etc was transgender, would you get involved?"

The wording might be because of the space available on the sign.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

I don't know if these have been posted before but they're worth looking at.

And how at least one of the participants reacted:
