People can disagree on how they view a certain matter and still be OK with it. Just because you don´t share the same perspective on homosexuality, trans, bisexuality, etc. it doesn´t mean you think less of them as human beings and it does not make you phobic to that topic. Stop calling people homophobic or transphobic just because they don´t have the same view as you do. And the person asking you about "what a woman thought is", is definitely a question that deserves a well thought out answer not just a label of phobic. being denied a chance to exist in however way you want to exist is MUCH MORE than sharing an opinion. calling someone judgmental and ignorant because YOU WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN TRANSPHOBIA... how ironic.

All I am saying is rather than labeling someone as something (I must admit I have done it) it´s better to explain maturely our point. By labeling someone rather than providing a broader perspective we´re not helping either. It´s sort of like perpetuating this retrograde and old idea that gays are feminine, lesbians are manly or that heterosexual people are homophobics, ect. The point here is that JUST because someone does not fully comprehend a topic does not automatically make them dislike that topic or that they hate or are phobic to that matter. We are becoming so sensitive to that point of being insensitive with those who we think don´t share our same values and ideas, and rather than help them understand we immediately call them out and rub it on their faces as if that will have positive impact. And I did maturely explain my point. I can't even find Sam saying that from a quick google search, which I agree would be deemed problematic and mysogynistc in itself. Here's the article I found that I believe is being referenced, which is explains their identity not being defined by man or woman. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/sam-smith-on-feeling-just-as-much-woman-as-i-am-man-126638/ What's happening in this thread is that Sam's identity is being belittled, questioned, and put on trial because of someone else's "opinion" - which actually boils to a lack of respect, care and education. It's ignorant and cruel to do so. In that case, that does show dislike or disapproval of trans or fluid identity. Point blank, their identity is being diminished, and that's not cool. Especially with trans and non-binary users on this site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
