im pretty sure what youre referring to is called pride? and trans people sure as hell do tell people what gender they are if theyre confident (and safe) enough to correct them
what cub is talking about is people who build an identity around being trans rather than actual personality traits or interests
if people disagreeing with you is harassment you'll find yourself disagreeing with a whole bunch of people throughout your life and it won't be because you're right
agender is under the trans umbrella, being a type of gender other than cis; normally i dont use the term "trans" to refer to myself either but its easier for the sake of this thread
im never surprised when i get called a girl! what hurts me is when i tell people nicely that im not (which i do, despite self-advocacy sometimes being a very dangerous thing for trans people to practice) and they still insist, sometimes aggressively, upon calling me a girl. i understand when people mistake me for a girl, and i understand when people honestly forget im not, but i have faced actual, real harassment just for saying "uh, it's 'they', just so you know"
this is what looks like a trend to me. agender and transgender are not the same, referring to yourself as transgender and calling yourself agender makes me think you don't even know why you're using these words
trenders just wear their whole existence like a cheap costume to validate themselves as special and ~different~ because they have nothing else going for them and desperately need attention. trans people don't typically go around saying they're trans

good thing you're not agender cub so you really don't get to decide if it's rude
im no baker but i know when a cake taste like shi
the cake has no perception of flavor as it's not a living creature please elaborate what possible logic you used to craft this analogy. i've been looking at this for ten minutes and i cannot comprehend it at all
dont be surprised when you get called a girl when you're tryin to look like a man with a dress on

you're a girl though
what makes you think you're a man
i really shouldn't respond to terry should i
they aren't a girl nor do they think they're a man this is not how it works it's not how any of this works

and cub people dont choose to be harassed and made uncomfortable every day, to be constantly judged by strangers who think they can determine the validity of you as a person, to have to go through these "debates" defending their own basic rights, even to be thrown out of their homes as children, just for the sake of a trend. people dont "choose" or "pretend" to be trans because its cool. people ARE trans, and because of that, they have to face stuff like this from people like you and worse
this is all very noble of you to type, but i said trenders not genders. trans people hate transtrenders because trenders just wear their whole existence like a cheap costume to validate themselves as special and ~different~ because they have nothing else going for them and desperately need attention. trans people don't typically go around saying they're trans because as far as they're concerned they're just themselves while trenders go around wearing labels like badges to show what a high-ranking snowflake they are at the expense of the entire image of the community they're leeching off of
telling you 'who i am' isnt the same thing as what I'm mocking you for, which is a lack of ability in reasoning to answer a simple question.
oh, see, what i saw you mock me for was the fact that im 15 and i claim to know who i am. youre an adult, i assume. why dont you tell me who you are? do you know who you are? how much detail can you go into?

and uhhhh floor why dont you tell me who you are? tell me abt yourself. everything you know about your personality, your identity, your philosophies. im interested

i mean you dont walk up to random people and say "hey man whats in your pants" so why should you get to do that to trans people
youre talking to random people online about topics far more sensitive, controversial and actually meaningful than what chromosome you have, kid.
