Which of the following statements do you agree with?
--------------------------
Personally, I would describe anyone who can't even agree with Category I: a through f as outright transphobic. I don't think a meaningful conversation on transgender issues can happen with people who can't accept even a to f, and they're not worth having with those people.
To answer the poll: I do not personally identify as transphobic.
- Category I: Gender Affirming Care (Non-Medical)
- Being respectful of others and using their preferred pronouns
- Allowing people to dress and present as their preferred gender
- Governments can recognize name changes and gender changes on legal documentation
- Sports leagues can choose to allow transgendered people to compete in the format of their choosing
- Institutions can choose to allow transgendered people to use facilities of their preferred gender (bathrooms, locker rooms, etc)
- All of the above, for minors, with parental consent (for institutions and leagues, those that cater to minors)
- All of the above, for minors, regardless of parental consent
- Require institutions to use of a person's preferred pronouns (hate crime for deliberate misgendering)
- Require individuals to use of a person's preferred pronouns (hate crime for deliberate misgendering)
- Institutions cannot prevent people from dressing or presenting as their preferred gender (protection for sexual identity at work, school, etc)
- Institutions cannot prevent people from using facilities of their preferred gender (bathrooms, locker rooms, etc)
- Sports leagues are required to allow transgender to compete in the format of their choosing
