With all the coverage on TV and online recently, I just wanted to ask you guys a question - would you date a transgender person? Reasoning is cool, saying yes or no is cool, just don't put any dumb in the comments
There's a big difference between understanding something and being able to identify with the feeling. Saying the idea of someone going through with a gender transition makes you uncomfortable because you would never do that isn't about a failure to understand.

no, i am ignorant and i don't want people to be happy
I don't understand why they get so offended, it's a "me vs. the world" mentality and it's really stupid, stop assuming the worst all the time and maybe you'll get some better support instead of just turning people who want to learn about it off from the issue entirely
If you mix up two terms by accident in front of an sjw extremist, they skewer you alive and any attempt to make them aware it was just an accident is seen as "backpedaling", or they just assume you're lying about what you truly believe
Half of the problem is sjws getting offended at people who simply don't understand some of these terms, automatically assuming that the person who doesn't understand is the devil incarnate before attempting to help them understand the concept which quite frankly i can see as being difficult to understand for some
I'm gonna avoid talking about any issues brought up in this thread in the hopes that it just goes away

i don't have a problem with people being transgendered, i just can't really understand it

telling someone you can't date them because they attempted to stop being miserable is actually an extremely idiotic reason and sounds more like a cop out than just saying you don't find them attractive.
i don't think people born into poverty should attempt to rise up in social class because that's fighting so hard against a concrete component of how you were born.
i don't think people with disfiguring birth defects should correctional surgery because that's fighting so hard against a concrete component of how you were born.
i don't think people with a large family history of cancer should attempt to beat cancer because that's fighting so hard against a concrete component of how you were born.
